In the following, we'll show you step by step how to make a time lapse video in Movie Studio Platinum and also produce speed ramps with or without an audio track.įirst, cut the scene that you want to speed up, if you're not creating time lapse for the entire video. The audio track can be included in the timelapse video or removed, or you can have the audio play at normal speed and only speed up the video material. With Movie Studio by MAGIX, you can create static time lapse effects as well as dynamic speed ramping. However, for true flexibility and to really make the most of this effect, you need a high-performing video editing program. A simple fast motion effect without audio track can be achieved with a free app.

The time lapse effect also offers a lot more creative possibilities than you might think at first glance. Sometimes (for instance in nature documentaries or music videos) the audio track continues as normal without any time lapse editing. When using the effect, the audio track is either kept in or faded out. It can be applied in order to accelerate the action but also exaggerate it – you can speed up video footage to make fun of a subject. Sometimes, film makers gradually speed up a video recording before slowing it back down to normal speed. In this way, the time lapse effect turns normal movements into rapid chain reactions, fight scenes or chases.Įxtreme time lapse recordings can be used in documentaries that cover an aspect over a long period of time – so a starry sky rotates around the North Star, or a flower bud bursts open in seconds. This effect is often used in action movies to transform a carefully filmed scene into fast-paced action at a later point during post-production.

The process is as easy as pie – you simply speed up the video to make time lapse.Īs long as it's not over-used, time lapse brings heaps of dynamics to a film.

Time Lapse ist der englische Fachbegriff. The time lapse effect accelerates the playback time of a video, which is why the effect is also called 'fast motion'.
