Dji mini 2 timelapse

Hi i am trying to do time lapse with my dji mini 2 drone, i took the drone up and set to take photos every 3 seconds (i think) then i used premier pro to put all the photos together, but the video is stuttering, have i not used enough pictures i think i used about 350, or is there settings in premier pro when stitching them together i am doing wrong. Thanks (link to video i am having issues with

hope its ok to put link to video

Hi Paul - have a look at Vic’s video below … he specialises in timelapse/hyperlapse videos be it drone or camera…

It may be worth having a look around his chanel too :+1: :+1: :+1:

What fps setting did you use in your editing ?

Try 25fps and then and a stabilising filter see that improves it

You have fewer than 100 different frames in your published video.

Try fly slower with much slower changes in direction, this will make a big difference. It won’t feel like we are flying four frames in one direction before a change to a new direction. You could also try flying higher and tilting the gimbal down, it will reduce the feeling of jerkiness if you compose your shot with more of the scene before you in frame.

At one photo every three seconds, you’d want 87s worth of photos for 1 second of 30 fps timelapse, which would playback 90 times quicker than real-time.

Hi thanks for the advice, once the weather has improved, i shall try again, and try a higher altitude and change my gimbal. I think i recall i done it in “n” mode, i will try “c” and maybe fly in a straight line, Just when you are pushing the stick forward for 5mins my finger gets sore, and sometimes i do not realise that i am pushing harder. Thanks again, once i attempt again i will repost, hopefully better results.

Try Litchi

Hi after reading what advice had been given i attempted again today, with far better results. This time i think the wind is to blame, i set the shots to 2 second, and about 330 photos. I used dji media maker.

Great job!

I found some old time lapse photos i done a while ago. But since using Dji media maker for my previous time lapse i thought i would try it, and i am very happy with the result. It is taken in Galashiels, currie road. I took 562 photos to make it
