I have the DSLR Controller app for my android tablet, which was connected to my 550d.

I took half an hours worth of images, 370 images taken.
How do I put them together for a timelapse video?

I have PS3 to use, tried an online tutorial, but just ended up with more images but no video file!

I use the tutorial in this link:-

Help would be greatly recieved.
 
most video PC desktop video applications allow for you to chuck them together and apply each one as a frame
370 images even at 60 frames per second is quite a few minutes of video
what video editing software do you have?

At 60 fps, it's about 6 seconds of video.

Here's an explanation of how to create a video file

You'll need to scale the video to HD size too.
 
Thanks for the info guys. Managed to figure it out, think I'll try different settings, looked awful lol
 
If you post it to youtube and put a link here, I'm sure people could critique it for you.

bah, I forgot to carry the 2!
:bonk:

I stand/sit etc corrected.
would 25fps should be fine though to get some more out of it.
even less. I've had some nice flicker book effects from shots at a party

I installed Magic Lantern onto my 600d and used the built in intervalometer.

Once I have enough pics, I use lightroom to export as a timelapse video.

However, Lightroom 5 doesn't have this option so I use Lightroom 3 for that......
 
If anybody uses a mac, Time lapse Assembler is a easy little tool to knock up TL's with.
 
Thank you for this tip. I am currently trying to export one from Lightroom which is taking an absolute age. I can only assume it's pilot error than the program.

Here goes…..
