Now that is a very unique time-lapse clip Luxor. Very nice!

Thank you Vadervideo. You don't have an idea of the troubles I went through to film the Eagle. This one is just before docking. 3 min 20 sec compressed to 58 seconds.

Taken as still Photographs, imported as image sequence in QT at 60 fps and outputted at 30 fps, would really appreciate any advice on how to improve on this technique..

Hello Akbar,

You can use the AE instead of QT, Photoshop or other software:

- import file -> point to first still image -> select 'import as footage' -> check 'JPEG sequence' -> Open

- select that sequence in your project -> right click -> interpret footage -> Main -> choose frame rate

- drag-drop this sequence to 'Create a new composition'

- right click on it -> Time -> Time strech - select the length of final clip

- composition -> composition settings -> select HDTV 29.97 preset or any other you like

I found this workflow the fastest and most convenient way to make time-lapses

Same clip done the Zygis way (with Minor Color & Contrast Correction) :-)

One important thing to increase sales: CLEAN flying birds and other insects.

Zygi, can you please add instructions for digital zooming and panning in AE?
