Sensationel perfekt explained. Even as a non native speaker, I could understand and recognize each word. One of the best tutorials on youtube, thank you !!!!
I have recently purchased my first GoPro. I find you tutorials clear, concise and well explained. Settings (and reasons why you recommend them) are easy to follow. By far the most user friendly tutorials - thank you😊
Thanks you so much your videos have been so helpful. I am brand new to to the world of action cameras and photography and I find the explanations about why we choose the settings we do very helpful. I have watched all your other videos and have learned so much. Keep them coming.
I was just wondering if you put the power charger in the GoPro at the start or wait until the GoPro is low on power as after seeing the results of the Timelapse you got I want to give it a try with my GoPro 5
I have watched your video in preparation for taking a night to day timelapse of my own. I wanted to ask if you have recommendations for the length can I fit a full night to day timelapse in 5-10 seconds and how many pictures do I have to take for that matter or need more pictures resulting in a longer video? I´d like to know your toughts on that matter. Thanks for the video anyway. Cheers!
You just got yourself a sub! You are a genius! i've literally been racking my brain since 9am and watching different tutorials(because i did a night to sunrise lapse, and when it hit around 8am, its was so OVER EXPOSED the video just went white!) trying to figure out WHY!! I dont know which exact setting it was(i'm thinking setting the shutter to auto) that you set yours at..., but after watching your tutorial, its finally working!! THANKS!
Thank you for your feedback and support! Much appreciated and I hope you enjoy creating time lapses with your GoPro. It's one of my favorite use cases for a GoPro.
Thanks for your feedback. I like those settings for a Sony camera with a much larger sensor. With the tiny sensors on something like a GoPro I find a bit longer shutter speed to work a bit better.
why not leave the ISO at 100 (or 200). That way you get the best picture quality, although you might be getting motion blur at dark times - if fast motion occurs in your frame, which may or not be desired. Whats the max shutter speed of the goPro? does it ramp up the shutter speed reliably over time as it gets darker?
Thanks great tips . Do you have any tips for Timelapse sunsets with water or things like long grass that move in the wind . Sunsets look great but waves in water or long grass moving in the wind gives the video a choppy appearance . I’m just starting out so I was wondering if it would be better to do a full video and speed it up ? You would get huge files though .
@@GreatDayForAHike WOW, that's crazy only 16 secs. That's so little. I think it wuld be cool if my 2 hours would be like a minute long. If you don't mind all the questions what would I shoot at for about a minute if you can guess. Like 5 or 10 sec intervals. ?
@@GreatDayForAHike I was just guessing from your first example and I chose the 5 sec. I got it right. LOL. Thanks very much for the help. Looking forward.
@@GreatDayForAHike I live at almost 10,000 feet in the Rockies. I used your settings with a large battery and shot a 15 hour video with a 3/4 moon. It came out awesome!
Great question. For day to night I generally like to start at least a few hours before sunset and then let it for for a least a few hours after sunrise. So generally at least 12 hours of filming. I would recommend at least a 128GB MicroSD card and I also recommend an external power pack like this one I use to keep your GoPro powered and running: amzn.to/3mFIUbx
Nice video, I like your style, cheers. Has anyone experimented with shooting night lapses in cold conditions? Have you had any issues with frost forming on the lens as is typical for this kind of shooting? Does the camera produce considerably heat to keep the lens warm enough to keep frost forming? I'm going to try this the first time this weekend and see how it goes. Forecast says some -5....-8'C so not super cold but freezing still.
I have done some night lapses as cold as about 15 F before with the Hero 9. I did not have any frost issues on the lens with the 9. It was a dry, cold night. If there is precipitation falling or freezing fog then I would expect the camera to get icy but if it’s a cold, dry night I haven’t had any issues.
3:10 are you sure about that? I'm pretty sure that a set interval of 15s will limit the shutter to 10s max I had to set it to 20s to get 15s shutter in auto (with an Hero 8)
Hi! What would be your recommendation with settings for a GoPro 10 night lapse video of a downtown skyline? Coming from a rookie, I have amazing city views - day to night would help tremendously! I tried last night with the pretty moon, I didn't have a good setting for the exposure and didn't turn out. Thank you in for any help!
Great question. For a city skyline at night I recommend the following settings: Shutter: 5 sec or 10 sec (depending upon brightness of city skyline)| WB: 3200K for cooler blue tones or 5500K for warmer yellow tones | Color: GoPro | ISO Min and Max: Both at either 400 or 800 (400 if close to skyline and bright, 800 if further away and not as bright). | Sharpness: Medium | EV: 0 | Interval: Auto
@@GreatDayForAHike Oh my gosh, thank you so much!! Thank you for being so thorough in the steps with the settings, I cannot wait to try your recommendations this weekend!!
You’re welcome! If you still don’t like you’re results or think they could be better I encourage you to try both options for some of those settings and see which you like best.
@@GreatDayForAHike thanks heaps, Ive just noticed on all your other videos for the 10 you went natural on the gopro colour and low on the sharpness should i use them for this as well or go what in this video? thanks heaps again!
Would these settings work for sunrise and sunset? I did a sunrise time lapse (didn't turn out super spectacular because there were zero clouds) but I started it early in the morning when it was still dark. There was a significant amount of noise when it was still dark, and even as it started getting light. From what I can remember I was using these settings - video, 0.5s interval, ISO Min 100, Iso Max 800, EV -0.5. Another video I watched said it's always a good idea to let your time lapses either start or end in the dark, but it seems this results in a lot of noise..
Great question. I created this video that is specific to sunrise and sunset settings that should be helpful for you. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Oe-mNM6z-BA.html
He basically already gave you the answer in the video. Take that underexposed by a half stop off. Then, increase your interval from five to fifteen seconds. That will allow the shutter to stay open longer if needed during the dark instead of being limited to five seconds.
Yes, this one should be helpful. Technique #3 in this video is a demonstration of how to edit RAW and export to video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3JQL1DwkEno.html
It is best to use time lapse mode. In this video I talk about the best settings for time lapses including sunsets. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SQSDasK7HoU.html
To get a timelapse in video mode that long you would need a very short interval. As far as how much video footage can fit in a 128GB MicroSD card an hour and 28 minutes sounds about right.
On your first suggestion (Still pictures) To all my knowledge (And this is ain't meniscal), the major or foremost advantage of RAW is that RAW has no WB. User sets it in post processing. So why you say chose RAW but keep the WB on 4000?
Yes, RAW can be set in post processing. However, I find it to be easier to edit all files more quickly in post processing when I set the files to a uniform WB. You can certainly set WB to anything you want and then edit in post though.
WB in RAW will be written to the metadata and will be used when rendering the image (the WB will be automatically applied) even though the actual RAW file itself will be at the camera’s native WB (7085K for GoPro Hero 9). You can of course edit this later but it might be more convenient to do it in camera. Having non set WB means that you will probably need to go to Lightroom, copy the WB on one image and then paste it on all the images.
You’re welcome. It depends on how you want to use the footage and how much detail you want in the footage. The higher bitrate allows for more detail. I like that higher detail in the clouds and on the ground, but yes, if you want less detail then you can do the standard bitrate.
Hope you see this. With the settings you recommend in which the interval is set and the speed is set to auto, the max ISO I can get (H9 and H10) is 800. You mention not to go above 800 because of noise. So this implies you can get higher ISOs on your Hero with this settings. Is this true? Interestingly if you set the interval to auto and set a speed, higher ISO are available. Interestingly part two, in Time-lapse (not Nightlapse) with the interval set and speed at auto, all ISO's are available. So do you have higher ISOs and if not do you have an idea what is going on? I just did a day to night to day Time-lapse with 5 sec, auto speed, iso 1600. Did not turn out well for the night stuff. The shutter speeds were too fast. In Nightlapse, shutter speeds can be close to 5 sec at night. So I guess the main thing that Nightlapse mode does is prioritize speed for max light capture. What do you think about that? dave
I did a max of 800 ISO and that is why I did the night lapse mode since higher than 800 was irrelevant for my time lapse but yes you could use time lapse mode with the same settings and it would come out the same. The key is to have shutter set to auto and interval at least 10 seconds so that it captures enough light for the night part of it. I recommend 15 seconds as a good balance. Let me know if you have any questions.
I notice my Hero 9 heats up a little leaving it On for 30mins from time lapse, is this normal? Also will it not over heat if you connect it to powerbank all day?
Great question. It is normal for the Hero 9 to get pretty warm when it’s being used constantly. I do recommend making sure you have the latest firmware running on the camera as this will optimize the cooling performance.
I have left mine running for 36 hours before on a power bank and it had no issues. As long as you don’t have the camera in direct sunlight on a hot day it should stay cool enough to have no issues. I have not yet tested leaving the camera in sunlight all day on a hot day but I would expect that could create potentially get too warm for optimal performance.
If you want to edit and fine tune your finished product, the photo mode would give you the most control over this. If you don’t want to edit the finished product then the video mode will be easier. Photo mode has the potential to give you the best results.
For a single day to night lapse with this shot in RAW and one photo every 15 seconds for around 12 hours I find this uses about 20-25GB of data. This is partly because the RAW setting also creates a corresponding JPG photo for each RAW photo.
You must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. You must love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus the anointed is Lord! Repent and be baptized and believe the Gospel.
Good morning, can you send me an email so i can send you a video of a night lapse and tell me your opinion ? Thank you for your time and the sharing of your skills.
