There were over 12.7k photos which was crashing Apple Photos when they were all in a single album, so I sorted the photos into 10 albums based on when they were imported.Īnother issue I ran into was the clock on the GoPro was reset for a few hundred photos, so they were marked as 8 years older than the others. Collecting and Organizing PhotosĪfter the photography of the build was complete, I organized all of the photos in albums so they could be exported to the video editing programs. The time/date was reset at one point in the middle of the build which caused a headache later. * Setting the time and date correctly was important to keeping the photos in order because the filenames will repeat as the card is reused.


I took a photo once every 5 seconds which yeilded more than 12.7k photos.

It wasn't as straight-forward as I thought it would be, so I wanted to share what I learned.Īs you can see from the video, the subject was me building a wooden mechanical 3D puzzle which took me nearly 18 hours to build. Here are some details about how I made this timelapse video with a GoPro and a Mac. Making a Timelapse Video with a GoPro and a MacBook
