Lapse It Pro

I'm a longtime Lapse It user and I have nothing but praise for this app. The new focus, exposure, white balance settings are a welcome update. I have an 8 gig iphone 4s and haven't updated to iOS 8 yet but I look forward to unlocking the other features once I upgrade. I've got enough new features to tide me over until then. A plethora (yes I said a plethora) of new filter effects, the ability to upload video into the app, the ability to export single frames to the camera roll, and the new inverted (backwards) playback option are great additions that really open up the doors to all kinds of new creative possibilities. A couple things I would like to see in a future update is the ability to rotate a project after capturing. For those times you think you are capturing in landscape mode but you're actually in portrait mode. Another suggestion would be to make it possible to render a project in landscape mode. Above all else, the ability to import single frames would be an awesome addition. There is a real lack of quality photo to video apps for mobile devices on the market right now. You're almost there with Slide X but you need to allow for much faster transitions. And Lapse It has everything needed to do this except the option to import individual photos. Or just make a third app combining all these features and I'll buy it too.

Issues with your new update. What was so awesome with your app BEFORE the update was that I could go back to continue my time lapse at a later time by adjusting the camera just to fit positioning to the last frame taken- by adjusting it with the ghost frame of the last recording!! What happened to this ghost frame to which I can adjust the camera????? it completely disappeared or is it me ? When wanting to add frames the “Resume project capture” is grayed out. It only gives you option: “Camera” or “Files”. Or am I not seeing it correctly, I tried everything!?. If this is not a feature in the app anymore you really made a big mistake- that would be a serious disappointment. Now I had tried importing video to add, the recorded time-lapse crashed and I lost the entire project- really not cool. I liked the former layout better. It was more classic and professional looking and not so colorful.

First, I bought this because it supports pause & resume, which Apple's time lapse doesn't. That would be a good thing to mention somewhere. It was easy to record a movie. It was obvious that the Gallery is where recordings are kept. I wanted to delete a few false starts, but the closest I could get was an offer to delete my entire project - at which point I noticed that all the clips had the same default title, and were thus part of the same project: "My Time Lapse". Good thing I said cancel, I wouldn't have been happy if I'd blown them all away. In addition to "Delete Project", the toolbar had "Project Details", "Not Rendered", and "Zip to iTunes". I knew I had to "render" the movie, but the only thing that looked like a command was "Zip to iTunes", and that didn't seem right. "Project Details" sounded like information. And "Not Rendered"? What sort of action is that? Is that what you click when your project is not yet rendered? "Project Details", it turns out, is where you do your post-production work, including rendering. After doing that, somehow I found that I could save it to my Photos, at which point I was back on terra firma, knowing that I'd saved it in a form I could then share. That, I would suggest, is your simplest workflow, and it shouldn't have taken such blind guesswork to get there. That said, it works well. Just needs useability improvements and more online documentation.

LapseIt is a prime example of what apps are about: simple, easy to use, doing one thing and doing it surprisingly well! I've done - and will be doing time lapse projects with a 'real' camera and high-powered software. And I won't pretend that this app can measure up to that in terms of quality particularly under difficult light conditions. But it's a must have for the casual time lapse video in interesting places with lots of movement. It's really easy to use, produces good quality videos under reasonable light conditions, and - best of all - doesn't need all the gear necessary for full scale time lapse photography. Try it - you'll get hooked! The only two things you have to bring are your smartphone and time...

I'm in an iPhone XS. If I pause the video I'd like to preview it and then decide if I want to stop or continue. As far as I can see I can't preview until I exit capture and once I've exited capture I can't re-enter it to continue capturing. So that's the missing feature. The bug: if the iPhone XS is in landscape and I stop capture then hit new capture the camera is capturing sideways - ie the picture is rotated 90 degrees from what it's capturing. Sometimes rotating the phone will "fix" this though not always. Sometimes I need to reboot the phone. Other apps like Camera are working just fine when this happens. Note that even if rotating the phone always worked it would not be an acceptable solution since moving the camera at all will make it difficult to re-align the shot so I could stich together the two videos and make a seamless whole.
