Zeitraffer App Reviews

Great app to turn frames into a movie in general, not just for stop motion.

It works like a charm at making a time lapse of photos. My problem is that when I first tried this in October, I was able to select photos from iPhoto easily from Zeitraffer, but now in December I can’t and had to export photos from iPhoto first before I could browse for them in Zeitraffer. I don’t know why the difference. Also in October, when I wanted to change the aspect ratio, I thought the right side of the video was cropped, but now in December it is cropped justified on both right and left sides, but I needed and anticipated it to be cropped on the right side. Please add some instructions and options involving iPhoto and cropping my time lapse video. Thanks.

It would be good, though, to have the possibility to delete some of the images that you don`t want to show in your video thought the app. But it is still great!

Fast, simple, and geared toward one object with very few options: framerate (per second), Order by date/name & ascending/descending, and export to mp4 or Quitime format. Input is a directory, from the slightly unclear “Choose...” option (initially, after that there is dome directory navigation available) and the Export… buttons set the final options. It even shows a progress bar while doing its job. Compared to iMovie, this is a godsend. iMovie is slow, creates bloated files, has default options that are hard to find (and remove), and is slow even for simple tasks. Zeitraffer makes a dead simple trask, dead dimple easy.

This app works perfectly, is simple and easy to use.

I was trying to use a sequence of 58 jpeg files to create a short animation and this just didn’t work out with any good output.

What the last reviewer said - Simple, Quick, Easy. This app does a basic task - combining image files into a Quicktime or MPEG4 movie - in a simple and easy way. There are view controls; just click “choose” to select the folder the images are in, select the sorting method (filename, timestamp, up or down) and the output format. It runs quickly. This is soooo much easier than using a full blown video app like Premier or iMovie. Works great on my Mac Pro (trashcan) running 10.10

This is a nice app—it doesn’t do much, but it’s good at what it does. A few quibbles, though: • The folder selection process isn’t as polished as it could be • There’s no way to preview the video before you export it • Rendering performance is mediocre when switching between frames All in all, I like it. Kind of basic and not incredible, but useful for sure :)

could not be simplier to create an awesome hyperlapse
