How to Calculate Timelapse

What is Timelapse?

A timelapse calculator determines the capture interval, total number of frames, storage space, and final video duration needed for a timelapse sequence. To get a 30-second clip at 24 fps, you need 720 frames — at one photo per 10 seconds, that is 2 hours of shooting.
