By fiddling with preset settings files in the new Lightroom 3 beta, Sean McCormack adapted the software to make time-lapse videos.

Timelapse Workflow is an Adobe Lightroom plugin that saves time when editing time-lapse sequences by automating many aspects of the process.

Shooting time-lapse photography is time-consuming and you have to set enough time aside to be able to shoot the images you need to then create a movie that plays at the standard 24fps.

The great thing about making a time lapse video these days is you don’t need a studio or specialist equipment to pull it off. It can be done with a mobile phone and / or a free app in Windows.
