I'm wanting to have a go at making my first hyperlapse. The thing with a hyperlapse is that you have to move the camera for every frame and you might not be 100% accurate when adjusting the camera for the new shot. It's different to a normal timelapse because you have to move the camera over a long distance rather than just using a motorised slider.

I'm after some software that can stabilise the sequence of shots so it becomes a smooth video. I only have Lightroom, Photoshop and LRT Timelapse, but I don't know if LRT timelapse is capable of stabilising the images.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm sure there's someone on here that's done it:D

Here's a hyperlapse video for the people who don't know. The hyperlapse starts at 0:22
 
You can do it manual with Lightroom and photoshop. Deshaker for virtualdub works too.
 
Once it's rendered as a video, any stabilisation software should be able to do it surely. ProDAD Mercalli 2.0 is awesome stabilisation software. Not free though, and it's a plug in fro Premiere Pro.
 
Cheers. I don't have any video software but I'm getting premiere pro cs6 next week when I build up my new pc. I read into it and it has a warp stabiliser, but it might only be basic. Will have to have a play about when I get it all up and running.

Premiere's stabiliser is good, but really, really slow.
 
Will that prodad plug in you were on about be better than the standard stabiliser with premiere pro?
 
Absolutely. I use it. It's fast, has more options etc. Well worth it if you do a lot of video work hand held. It can't perform miracles though. Slow rolling shutter speeds and hend held video with loads of shake will be corrected, but the bur caused by camera movement will not be, so while the image is stable, it will appear to shift focus as it blurs.

You won't have this problem though, as you're locked off on a tripod.

Another question for you slightly off topic. Do you know if you can create a panning/zooming movement like the camera is on a motorized slider in Premiere Pro CS6. I know it doesn't quite look the same as having the camera on a slider but I have to start somewhere lol. I want to do a lot more time/hyperlapses so I'll look into sliders at some point, just not quite yet with the price of them. My new PC and software is cost me more than I planned :rolleyes:
 
Yeah, you can crop into the image and then move it left... set a key point, then move it right at the last frame... set another key point, and when played back, it will slowly "Ken Burns" from left to right over teh length of the clip.
