Have looked for what Time Lapse Format is allowed on Pond5.
But not really able to locate that.
Any assist will be appreciated.

Also Pro-Res and Pro-Res HQ. Keeps more of the colour. Also editors like it.

Only apple editors like that, but I guess it depends on your target audience.

It would be hard to determine what you need as we don't know how you are acquiring the footage. There are a variety of processes as well as CODECs that are possible. Pro-Res is for Mac systems only. What platform are you on?

Mostly Interested in settings.
- 1 sec , 2 sec 3 sec 5 sec Intervals etc.
- Final Outcome 1 to 3 minute overall
- So what is the Total run time when Second Settings selected?
Then FPS
- Most uploaded at 24 to 29.97 FPS.
- Also Lens Filtering ? What I'm using tends to have Greenish Tint
- Looking for smooth flow of subject matter.
Very much amateur.......just need some basics.

Thanx for info Jason:

If I wrote down your formula correctly it is the following:
- To have a Finished .10 Second Tile Lapse Video, Setting is .03 Second and let run for 15. Run Time Minutes ?
- Best looking video transition "in your opinion" for a Time Lapse is to set at 30Fps@.3sec intervals ?
- OR to look at it another way 30 fps = 300 Frames x 3 sec = 900 frames divided by 60 = 15. minute run time ?

If this is accurate, from one olde tymer to another olde tymer I think I have it :)

Now I need to have Curator look at and hopefully approve a small sample finished TLVideo ( which I uploaded as a test a couple days ago ) converted from .avi to .mov and photo-jped format with Squared5 StreamClip that I have also used in other projects.
