Last year, Instagram released the Hyperlapse iOS app to make timelapse video creation from your smart phone a snap.
What used to take no small amount of video editing expertise and/or a time-lapse mode for your video camera is now as simple as point and shoot:
- Fire up the app,
- Point the camera,
- Tap the red record button,
- Record,
- Tap the red button again to stop recording,
- Choose between 1x and 12x speed,
- Preview,
- Tap the green check mark to save to your camera roll,
- And Share on Instagram,
- Or Facebook.
There is no sound, for obvious reasons, so you’ll need to add your own after the fact, which is probably a good idea, if your video is more than thirty seconds long.
