Zeitraffer at Mac App Store analyse

Sorry I cant say anything about the app. Because since I down downloaded it, the language is in Japanese and I dont find a way to change it.

I just downloaded this app and it doesn’t actually work. I’m not able to import images… basically everything is greyed out.

ottima utility, serve allo scopo

I needed to create animations of 7 different weather maps using 10 screenshots taken with Precise Screenshot for a 10-day soaring contest weather briefing. The app worked great and was fast and easy to use. It had only one small glitch in the interface when trying to enter the frame rate. If I first entered the name of the file then clicked in the frame rate box the default frame rate would be selected but when I tried to enter a new rate the typing would appear in the file name instead. If I used the minimal file dialog and tabbed through to the frame rate box it would work. Eventually, clicking in the frame rate box would work as expected but there is a slight problem with the interface in my experience. I would recommend this app for anyone needing to make animations or time lapse movies from stills.

So, it’s a one-trick pony, and that’s OK, as It does it well, and fast. You’ll want to create a folder of the only work you want to lapse. I did run into a few issues, and one was my fault. In my selected folder I named items image1, rather than image01, so the first nine frames were actually out of order when processed due to the missing leading (zero). The other issue is that Zeitraffer doesn’t automatically recalculate aspect if you change x or y. You’ll need to calculate that beforehand, otherwise your output will be stretched (or squeezed). But it’s easy to master, and fast to output, so I can easily recommend.

If you have a small batch of photos and want to try creating a time lapse, this is WAAAY better than using iMovie hacks, or profiles and tricks in Lightroom, etc. If you have a large batch of photos, and they are bucketed into mlutiple folders, you will struggle. Too many photos, the app hangs. And if you dont have all the photos in the root of one folder, the app wont open any of them. Heres hoping those issues are fixed in an upcoming release, even if it means the developer starts charging for it. Its a very cool app, and could be KILLER with a few more features/bug fixes.

Jutilise cette App pour faire des timelapses depuis ma GoPro et ça marche à merveille !
