![]() ![]() Panolapse helps by allowing you to adjust and correct exposure after the fact. Just about every photographer knows how easy it is to get exposure wrong when shooting. An essential feature then, found in most good time-lapse production software. DeflickerĪs any experience time-lapse photographer will tell you, time-lapse flicker removal is an important subject to get to grips with if you want to produce smooth outdoor time-lapse videos. Without an automation feature like this, holy-grail sequences are incredibly difficult to achieve smoothly, so this is a welcome feature indeed. ![]() This feature analyses the aperture, shutter speed and ISO of each image in a time-lapse sequence and automatically adjusts exposure to give a smooth and consistent transition throughout the sequence whilst minimising flicker. According to the vendor, it allows you to interpolate settings across multiple frames such as exposure, contrast, white balance, vibrance, saturation, fill, shadows and more. ![]() Blend frames with RAWBlendĪnother one of Panolapse’s flagship features is its ability to smoothly blend between RAW or JPG images. Whilst you can sometimes just about tell that the effect has been achieved with software, in my experience the effect is pretty good and considering you don’t have to lug motion control hardware around with you, it’s definitely something you should give a go if you produce time-lapse videos. Your video is mapped onto a sphere, kind of like the effect you may have seen within panorama and augmented reality apps.īy distorting the visual image in this way, the pan and zoom effects look virtually indistinguishable from actually turning the camera on a motion control slider. Unlike typical pan and zoom controls within most video editing software, Panloapse has a hidden trick up it’s sleeve. The key feature within Panolapseis the rotational pan and zoom. Here are some less common features that Panolapse offers above and beyond the basics… Rotational Panning/Zooming Of course Panolapse has all of the usual features you have come to expect from time-lapse software, such as allowing you to stitch photos together and export them to a video of the desired framerate. The ‘RAWBlend’ feature is also quite unique, scanning and adjusting exposure settings across the sequence of images, producing smooth, flicker-free videos every time. Panolapse maps your sequence over a 3d ‘globe’, adding realistic perspective, meaning the pan/zoom effects really do look like your camera was panning/zooming during the shoot. If you were to pan across a timelapse sequence in most video production software, it would be painfully clear that the camera remained static and you had just panned the flat images across the screen. If you already have a series of time-lapse photos, or you are planning to shoot a time-lapse sequence, then time-lapse software is something you’ll probably need.ĭepending on your exact requirements, Panolapse will turn these photos into a high-definition (or standard definition, if you prefer) video file which you can play like any other video. Panolapse is software that takes your static time-lapse photographs and stitches them together into a smooth time-lapse video, whilst adding advanced three-dimensional panning and zooming effects. Is that it? Well, no! Panolapse has a unique feature that allows you to add panning and zooming effects to your final video, similar to what can be achieved using expensive motion control hardware, only it achieves this result using only software techniques. Just like you’d expect from any time-lapse creation software, Panolapse (or Panolapse 360 as it is also known) allows you to stitch photographs together to produce a smooth, flowing time-lapse video. This Panolapse review aims to give a fair and balanced account of my experience using the software. I recently got a chance to install and test Panolapse, some time-lapse software with some interesting and unique features. 10.4 Is Panolapse free or is there a license fee?.10.2 Is Panolapse compatible with GoPro?.10.1 What operating system will Panolapse run on?. ![]()
