Adobe Lightroom: Create time-lapse - how it works

This guide shows you how to create a time-lapse in Adobe Lightroom.

Create timelapse in Adobe Lightroom

To create a time-lapse in Adobe Lightroom, you need suitable images. This should be in a separate folder on your hard drive. Then follow the steps below.

1. Click "File" and "Import Photos and Videos". Select the folder with the time lapse recordings and make sure that the pictures are in the correct order.
2. Download the free Lightroom template from the lrtimelapse.com website. You can find it under "Other Downloads".
3. In Lightroom, switch to slideshow mode at the top right of the screen. Then click on "Edit" and select "Preferences".
4. Click the "Presets" tab and select "Show Lightroom Presets Folder". Now copy the two folders from the previously downloaded ZIP file into the Lightroom directory.
5. Save your project and restart Lightroom. You will now find four new templates under "User Templates".
6. Make sure that you have selected all of the images you want to use for the time-lapse video under "Library". Now select "LRTimelapse 30 fps" under the user templates.
7. Click on "Export video" and save the video under the video default "1080p" in the location of your choice. After the process is complete, the time-lapse video is on your PC.

Please note that these instructions refer to Adobe Lightroom version 5.4.
