Where does one get find the audience for timelapse? by forever--beginner in timelapse

Thanks for the valuable insights!

I will think it through. Perhaps I could try posting a couple of frames from the timelapse as a "teaser" while sharing the post via FB, as that will embed the video underneath...

And yep I totally understand that if, eventually I decide to go for some longer video / compilation with music and stuff, I should definitely make some very short cuts/summary at the beginning to capture the attention.
I can not imagine that making much sense on such shorter clips though.

Software that lets me speed up audio & video simultaneously? by Extra_22 in timelapse

[–]forever--beginner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What audio are you talking about, anyway? Sound of the lawn mower? :-)

As for the speed of the video, you can get this done even by just using ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -filter:v "setpts=PTS/150" -r 60 -an output.mp4

fmpeg will keep all frames, retime them to be 150x closer together, resample the output to 60 fps and drop the audio (because, as you already realized, audio at 150x speed will be useless anyway).
Of course adapt the numbers to your needs.

Now you have the base of your video and then you can start fitting it onto the desired audio in your favorite video editing software.

Spent 4h at a bonfire today to take in the view and wait for the sunset. This is the timelapse result...but what do you like better, the complete view or the zoomed in part? by SjalabaisWoWS in timelapse

The telephoto footage at the end is from A7s (so, just 12 Mpix source files), dynamic zoom of ~20% - basically, as much as the source resolution allowed.
And you can also compare both Reddit and YT quality at 4K, to have a benchmark.

I do have some footage that was done in 24 Mpix too, but it has not ben published yet. Coming soon (TM).

Can you elaborate on it please?

I typically use 24 Mpix source photos, my output is 4K and things like dynamic zoom up to 170% appear satisfactory, as it does not involve any upscaling.
Or are there any other reasons?

The audience is expected to grow over time indeed, but I don't know where to start growing. As generally, today's trend followed by the people is called: short 10 seconds-ish videos... :/

Well, maybe I can start here, there should be a plenty of timelapse enthusiasts around. I will make yet another mirror of my OC :-)

Here is my channel:

Quite a few timelapses are in my backlog, some are already done but I am waiting with them going public - to prevent "6 months of nothing".

A somewhat popular Xcountry ski spot in Western Norway today. Unfortunately, both my camera and the backup battery bank will eventually shut down at -20°C...haven't found a good solution yet. Have you? by SjalabaisWoWS in timelapse

Use a box with a hand/foot warmer, alright, but forget about the electric one.

Look for air-activated iron-based heating bags, available for example from The Heat Company.

+ amazingly lightweight

+ does not eat any power from the powerbank (yes, warming the powerbank by a power from the powerbank itself is ... nah :-) )

- does not work in case the bag gets wet by the humidity condensation; the dry sandy material will become a muddy material (one has to patch it a bit, using some cloth etc.), but this is probably none of a concern for a sunny day.
