Hi there … using the 500 rule (500/focal length of lens) .. you said this is for FULL FRAME sensor cameras – does the same rule apply to crop sensor cameras – or do you apply the crop sensor ratio, then apply 500 rule rule? Hope that makes sense. cheers and your video and work is wicked as bro.
Hi, great tutorial.I just have one question what is the exact interval in between shots? Is it 5 sec? 30 sec shutter and 5 sec interval?
does the genie programm for a 6 months timelapse? than you
And then there's me, without money to do this T_T
Adobe should buy out LRTimeLapse and incorporate its features into Lightroom!
Just one question: what is the difference between Tone Curve's Highlights, Lights, Darks and Shadows and all this options under Tone?
❤❤❤
Just a great video, you're a heck of a teacher, I can't wait to try it out tonight. thanks for the Apps.
paying money for apps ?
How’d you set up the time lapse at 1:18?
which lens should I use for that kind of time lapse? (I'm using a 6d mk2).
Excellent works
Awesome tutorial. Thank you for sharing!

Luminos is a better night sky app

Good job! This inspired me to make a day to night timelapse. Please check it out: https://youtu.be/ekZS78z6ge8
im going to buy the syrp but realy 4 hours waiting for nightshot? is this due the stop move stop that is takes so long?
Thanks for doing that.

The best tutorial I've seen, thanks Mark.

Thanks Mark. Really appreciate this video. Helped me alot. Cheers.
I'm doing my timelapses on iPhone SE ok camera shoots in 1080p 60fps
A timelapse in the making
Wouldn't an ISO of 3200 make the shot grainy?
Thank you, this was awesome and I learned loads!

Thanks for uploading this video. Very helpful.
1:17 to 1:26 which technique is used??
I just started learning videography. thank you. just uploaded a timelapse video of my sjcam in my youtube, too. you might wanna check it. thanks! more power!
Looks so damn beautiful, thank you for sharing your techniques!
Are there any basic versions of the genie? I don't want to be spending that much on something like this, even one of those very basic panoramic gopro timers would be fine but they can't hold the weight of a DSLR
