TimeLapsed 2.0 · The Camera

Choose how time moves through your recording.

Clouds take their time. A car crosses the frame in seconds. A drawing may need an afternoon. TimeLapsed lets you choose a capture interval and playback speed for the movement in front of the camera, while real-time video handles scenes you want to keep at their original pace. Both live in the same camera workflow.

01 · Timelapse & Video Capture

Decide what the interval should preserve.

Short intervals retain more of a fast-moving subject. Longer intervals compress a slow change into fewer frames. Set the cadence around the movement you want to show, then consider how long the camera will need to run. Keep the running frame count and recording time visible so you can judge the take without leaving the camera.

Frame for the screen where the film will be watched.

Record portrait video for a vertical story or use widescreen 16:9 for a landscape, a longer film or a television. The rebuilt editor supports both formats. Leave room around moving subjects when composing, especially if you plan to change framing in the edit. Camera profiles keep the capture choices ready for another session.

Pause a video when the action pauses.

Real-time video recording can be paused and resumed. Flip and mirror controls give you more choices for the camera view, and Moments help keep the useful parts of a recording. After the take, open the media gallery to inspect the result, save a still frame or put the clip into a trip film.
