1. Import photos
2. To simplify the process, you want to have all your photos in the time-lapse inserted into a single folder in chronological order.
3. Click on your fresh new clip under 'import files'.
4. From here, you can go into advanced settings and change around the resolution, as well as the FPS of your new time-lapse clip. We recommend setting it to 1080p with 24FPS (23.98).
5. Hit “Add Clip to Conversion List” and it will create a workable file on the right side. If you’re satisfied with how it looks, you can go ahead and press “Convert”.
6. Now you can edit the clip however you like in Step 2. This is all up to your stylistic preference. After you’re done editing, you can hit “Export”.
