I took a photo once every 5 seconds which yeilded more than 12.7k photos. It wasn't as straight-forward as I thought it would be, so I wanted to share what I learned.Īs you can see from the video, the subject was me building a wooden mechanical 3D puzzle which took me nearly 18 hours to build. Here are some details about how I made this timelapse video with a GoPro and a Mac. If you want maximum resolution and flexibility in your footage and are willing to pay for that in time spent in post-production, then go ahead with GPR files.įor me, I’ll keep shooting in video timelapse modes!Ĭheck out my previous video about how I shoot timelapses on the GoPro HERO11.Making a Timelapse Video with a GoPro and a MacBook GPR files is about 11MB in size, compared to the 6MB for JPEGs. They’re much bigger in size compared to the video files (but of course, you get a lot of positives instead as mentioned earlier).These files, compared to normal RAW files, are much slower to edit in LRTimelapse, as they’re “not real RAW files” according to Gunther from LRTimelapse.Best to shoot on low iso max (100 or 200). More noise in the footage compared to the video files, which can be hard to remove.Fixing this really stretches out the pixels and this the footage, reducing the sharpness

You get the big fisheye lens look, which warps everything.Because of the above its great for Holy Grail sequences, but more on that later.There is more room to recover highlights and shadows compared to JPEG.There is more room to play with exposure compared to JPEG.You can perform non-destructive white balance changes.You get the max resolution of the sensor at 5568×4872 pixels.

Let’s go over the pros and cons of shooting GPR files on the GoPro and then see how I’ll be shooting in the future. Mostly for shadow and highlight recovery and for the ability to change the white balance and parts of the exposure in post-production. Traditionally, for timelapse photography, we shoot RAW files for a number of reasons.
