Capturing Time Lapse Videos in iPhone. Know How?

The days of making time-lapse videos with bulky, expensive equipment are long gone. All you need right now is your iPhone and some essential tools. Time-lapse is essentially a video-filming technique in which the camera records a series of photos at regular intervals of time that, when sped up, appear to move quickly.

Here is a tutorial on how to build a gorgeous time-lapse on your iPhone if you're an aspiring filmmaker who uses it almost exclusively to take photos and videos.

Do you want to create time-lapse videos on your iPhone in additional ways? You've arrived at the proper location. Here, we'll demonstrate how to record a time-lapse video on an iPhone.

What is Tile Lapse?

• Apple has enhanced the iPhone camera app by releasing new iPhones and upgraded operating systems. Now, we can create time-lapse videos directly from the iPhone in addition to slow-motion videos. 
• The time-lapse mode allows you to capture events at extremely high speeds. For example, if you record a video for ten minutes, the resulting time-lapse film will only last for twenty seconds. This gives you an idea of how quickly the event will go along in the time-lapse video.
• The basic theory of time-lapse photography is fairly straightforward: while the video is being recorded at a lower frame rate than the original, when you play it back on your phone, you'll see that time has moved much more quickly than it did when it was first being taken. 
• To put it another way, when you make a time-lapse video on your iPhone, it will take pictures during the course of the recording and then merge all the pictures to create a faster video that is time-lapse.

Conditions for iPhone Time-Lapse Photography

Let's first look at some things we might require t create a smooth time-lapse before we start the processes.
1. iPhone - To get the most out of the built-in Camera app, ensure your iPhone is up to date and running the most recent version of iOS.
2. Tripod, books, or duct tape - Until and unless you are filming a Hyperlapse, you will need one to keep your iPhone steady while taking time-lapse photos.

Tips for ideal Time lapse video on iPhone

You can only record a movie on an iPhone and stop it by pressing the record button twice. Apple doesn't provide you any other alternatives to create the ideal time-lapse video. Still, by following these guidelines, you can create superior time-lapse videos on your iPhone.

• Enough Time
  Before filming the time-lapse video, ensure you have enough time to complete it. For instance, you could watch a time-lapse movie of the sun setting on a beach. Give yourself 10-15 minutes to capture the ideal time-lapse video.
  
  
• Sufficient Battery
  Make sure your iPhone has a sufficient amount of battery life to allow you to capture a time-lapse film. We cannot provide an exact amount because results will vary from model to model and depend on the iPhone battery's state.
  
  
• Tripod Stand
  Taking a time-lapse video takes a lot of time, so we recommend using a tripod stand. It will lessen flickering and make it simple to record time-lapse video.
