Hi... I am trying to make some timelapse movies for my youtube channel. My Digital SLR is capable of taking shots at intervals but my maths is terrible and I am having a hard time working out the time between shots i need to make the final video the length I want.

I found a few calculators though Google but I couldn't get them to do what I want.. I was wondering if anyone knew of a timelapse calculator i could use... or if you know the maths for working it out so i can do it myself...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Basically I wish to know this.....
  • If I have a target length in time of the video I wish to create
  • And I know the final video is running at 25 FPS
  • And I know the period of time i want to shoot to make the timelapse from


How many seconds between each shot do I need to set the camera up to take?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Example:

Event takes:- 6 hours
Video runs @:- 25 FPS
Final Video length = 10 Minuets

Time in Seconds Between each photo = ????

Anyway I hope someone can help...

Thanks in advance
