How To Shoot And Combine Timelapse With Video

We have posted a lot of timelapse videos on Fstoppers but very few of them are very informative. In the video below Jay P Morgan takes us through the setup of a quick timelapse video. Jay does a great job of combining a timelapse created from stills and standard video shot at 24fps.

Simple yet so effective, finally something different to all the other timelapse videos we've had over the last few months

what are some of the more popular methods (software) of turning photos into timelapse videos?  i'm guessing it's pretty limitless, but does anyone have suggestions? (inexpensive to more complex) thanks.

I do all of mine in Quick Time Player 7. Under file you open image sequence. It very easy to do.

Just goes to show that preparation is everything..  So bored of seeing static time-lapse videos of cities and sunsets.  But as always my favourite part of Jay's videos is the opening with himself holding the camera but doesn't quite pull of the die hard look. LOL, it's hilarious.

Awesome Jay, great tutorial as always!
