What is a time-lapse video?
A time-lapse video combines many photos taken over a period of time and speeds it up to show the evolution of an event or project.
What can I use time-lapse videos for?
Whether it’s to capture a majestic sunset over the mountains, clouds moving or traffic bustling buy, adding time-lapse to your video is a great storytelling method. It turns ordinary or slow-moving events into visually intriguing video.
Time-lapse video is also a great marketing tool for your business as it tells a visual story of your services, for example, its online order fulfilment process, or the day in the work-life an employee. It’s also a wonderful tool to showcase manufacturing or the scale of a construction project, which allow your audience to connect with your brand.

- Next, customise your setup with simple app controls, or select from a wide range of presets including stars and night traffic.
- Finally, connect the Genie II it to your camera using the Syrp link cable, which triggers the shutter for time-lapse.
