Time lapse motion videography formats are very useful to condense extended video stories into much briefer action packed episodes that bind the watchers attention with much greater focus because the condensed format delivers a powerful message in a very short space of time. Condensing long boring videos of birthday parties were a holiday into a much shorter, interesting, potentially highly amusing, and attention grabbing timespan to upload to social pages, blogs, advertising spaces, and training videos.
Microsoft made a recent breakthrough when it developed and launched its brilliant new time lapse video app called Hyperlapse, and just to confirm Microsoft’s new technology has nothing to do with Instagram’s new app of the same name. The biggest problem experienced on any form of handheld video recording device while attempting to create by time lapse videos to date has been an inability to keep a steady camera which has an astoundingly negative effect on time lapse video quality.
The effects of external factors such as vibrations and unsteady jerky camera motion are now virtually negated by amazing new high-tech smart technology designed and developed by Microsoft. The company’s new software evolved to provide any handheld cellular device with a capacity to deliver near professional quality time lapse videos, offering additional functionality, such as the ability to record videos first and then turn them into time lapse videos with the Hyperlapse technology at a later stage. The app is already available to Windows and Android based smart platforms.
The Lapse It app available to Windows, Android, and iOS users has been around for quite a while and have garnered themselves a large number of hangers on since its introduction during 2011, with the paid Pro version representing a robust tool to create time-lapse videos with easy, user-friendly, intuitively navigable app interface and controls. It offers a brilliant tool to create stunning videos of sunsets, storms, family moments, or even that gnarly ski run or a first skydive adventure. The app offers a tiny footprint on mobile devices works brilliantly with non-retractable camera lenses commonly found on smart phones and still remains the second best option after the launch of the Hyperlapse app to create time-lapse video moments.
