This Guided Edit is a walkthrough on how to Create a time-lapse or stop motion video using Premiere Elements. Find this edit under the Fun Edits tab.
Time-lapse is a technique whereby the frames are captured at a high frame rate and when played at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing. For example, an image may be captured at 1 frame per second, but then played back at 40 frames per second; the result is an apparent 40 times speed increase.
You can create a time-lapse video using photos and videos. For best results use a sequence of photos or video clips from the same event. For information about the requirements to shoot a time-lapse video including the hardware requirement and shooting specifications, see Best practices to create a time-lapse video.
To Create a time-lapse or stop motion video, follow these steps:
-
-
In the Project Assets bin, create new folder. Rename the folder. This helps you have all the media files in one place when you import them.
-
Click Add Media to import the photos or videos that you want to work with.
-
Sort the media files by the date they were created on. In the assets bin, open Panel options > Sort by > Creation date.
-
Drag-and-drop the files to Video 1 track in the Timeline. You can also drag multiple files together.
-
Right-click or Control-click the photos in the Timeline and select Clip > Time Stretch.
-
Adjust the duration in the Time Stretch window.
Notă:For photos, we recommended duration between 00;00;00;05 and 00;00;00;06.
-
You can preview the media by clicking the play button.
-
To add text, from the right panel, select the Titles and Text option. Drag-and-drop Default Text to Video 2 track in the Timeline. Add text and adjust duration. You can also adjust the font, color, and style of the title.
-
To add audio, click the audio icon on the right panel. Drag-and-drop the audio file onto the Audio 1 track in the Timeline.
-
In the Score Property window, enable the Fit Entire Video check box to ensure that the audio is aligned to the video.
-
Render the video for smooth playback.
-
To export the final output, select File > Export and Share. For information about various exports and share options available, see Export and share your videos.
Stop Motion
Stop motion is a technique in which objects are physically moved in small increments between individually photographed frames so that they show motion when the series of captured frames is played back.
To create a stop motion video select Guided > Fun Edits > Create time-lapse or stop motion, add your photos and follow the earlier listed steps for time-lapse to create your stop motion video.
