Compiling your time-lapse video

Chronosys • May 08, 2022

Once you’ve recorded your project you’re going to need to compile all your images into a video. Here’s a little advice on how to do this. 

Odin is versatile, but it doesn’t do everything with a simple click of a button. You’re going to need some software, or a video editor, to compile all the individual images you’ve taken into one single video file. 


There are many video editors and options out there, some free, some very expensive, we couldn’t possibly go through all of them in any great detail. The below is simply a little list of editors to consider should you need a little advice. 


We’re assuming most of you who have bought or intend to buy an Odin camera know exactly what you’re doing so this list is skewed slightly toward the less experienced time-lapse creator. 


Beginner 

These are simple, free, editors to quickly create your time-lapse video 



Enthusiast

If you want a little more creative control over your videos you’ll need to buy some dedicated software. 


  • Time lapse Tool (approx $70) - We would recommend this very easy-to-use, but powerful, time-lapse creation tool if you want to produce a professional-level video. (We personally use this to create our videos). See more about this software below.


Professional

With so many different lenses out there, which one do you go for?
By Chronosys 13 May, 2022
Oh, imagine all the possibilities!... Uniquely, Odin allows you to replace the supplied lens filter with any 67mm filter you want to use. Simply unscrew the old lens and then screw in your preferred lens, or combination of lenses, as desired. Include into the mix the ability to control the Odin's ISO and shutter speed and you have some very creative possibilities available to you. Possibilities that would normally only be the remit of much more expensive, high-end, digital cameras. One bit of advice from us is, if you intend to use your Odin for long-term, outside, projects we would recommend you check the supplied O-ring is in place and that it is fully firmly sealed against your new lens. Failure to check this seal might cause water to ingress into the camera and hamper your filming. We have several O-ring sizes available if you ever need a larger, or smaller, O-ring. Please do not use nitrile O-rings as these will perish and fail. The below lens guide is taken www.exposureguide.com . All rights reserved. Lens filters are transparent or translucent glass elements that attach to the front of a lens. They protect the camera lens, alter the characteristics of light passing through the lens or add special effects and colours to an image.
