01 · Camera Actions & Automation
Choose between a ramp, a set and an event.
A ramp moves a supported control between two values over a defined period. A set changes it to an exact value at a chosen moment. An event triggers a capture action on the timeline. Combine the choices around the scene: ease into a longer exposure as light falls, change the capture interval or introduce a different trail treatment later in the take.

02 · Camera Actions & Automation
Inspect the camera state along the timeline.
Move through the timeline to review the resolved settings before arming the recording. Check how exposure and cadence interact instead of judging each action in isolation. Built-in automations can be duplicated and edited, giving you a starting point for a sunset or another repeatable transition. Save a version that matches the lens, scene and duration you intend to use.

Keep the camera ready for scheduled capture.
A scheduled recording requires the camera to remain open in the foreground. Mount the phone, connect power if needed and review the starting camera state before the scheduled time. Do a short rehearsal when the sequence is unfamiliar. A timeline can repeat your instructions, but you still need to choose settings that fit the light on the day.
