How to make a timelapse from a video

Choose a long recording, such as a sunset, a drawing, or a drive, and speed it up 8×, 16×, or more. Frames are dropped evenly, so the timelapse plays smoothly at the original frame rate. The video never leaves your device.

  1. Step 1

    Choose a long video
    Pick the recording to turn into a timelapse.
  2. Step 2

    Set the speed
    Keep 8× or choose a faster speed.
  3. Step 3

    Download the timelapse
    Export it at the original frame rate.

What to expect

Supported inputs
MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, MPEG-TS (.ts, .mts), and 3GP videos. AVI, WMV, and FLV files can’t be opened yet.
What happens
The video is sped up and saved in the source format at its original frame rate. The sound is removed unless you choose to keep it.
Limits
A video track is required. Speeds range from 0.1× to 100×. Every frame of the source is decoded, so a long recording takes a while and depends on your device.

Your files stay on your device

Your computer does the work, so the file never has to be uploaded, and that’s also why it’s free: there’s no server time for us to pay for. You don’t need an account, and nothing you make gets a watermark.

Questions

Divide the recording’s length by how long the timelapse should be. A 10-minute clip at 20× becomes 30 seconds, and 60× turns an hour into a minute.

At 8× and faster, sound is only noise. Choose Keep pitch or Change pitch if you want it anyway.
