TimeLapsed 2.0 · Light Trails & Frame Blending

Bring another camera’s still frames into the film.

A timelapse may begin on a camera that saves individual stills instead of a movie. TimeLapsed 2.0 can import image sequences through Photos or Files and turn those frames into a timelapse. Bring the sequence into the same editing workflow used for phone captures, then decide how the finished film should look.

01 · Image Sequence Import

Prepare a sequence that belongs together.

Use stills from the same capture session and check their order before importing. A consistent frame size and composition make the transition between images easier to judge. If the source came from another camera, move the files into a location Photos or Files can access. A supported card reader or external drive can be part of that transfer.

02 · Image Sequence Import

Turn separate pictures into visible motion.

Import the sequence and review how the frames play together. The interval used by the original camera determines what movement was captured; playback choices determine how quickly you see it. A changing sky, a growing drawing or a long exposure series can each need a different pace. Watch the result before putting it into a larger project.

03 · Image Sequence Import

Finish the sequence as part of a story.

Use the rebuilt video editor to combine the timelapse with other clips, change framing, adjust color and add titles or audio. Choose portrait or widescreen for the destination where it will be watched. Keep the source stills until you are satisfied with the output so you can revisit a frame or make a different version later.
