Before moving on to the next chapter, let’s take a moment to look at the techniques used
to convert time lapse sequences into GoPro CineForm files as the import and conversion
steps for these source files require some specific considerations.
Working with Time Lapse Sequences
The process for converting time lapse sequences into GoPro CineForm files is similar to
one used for converting video files. However, there are a couple of minor differences in
how you go about importing the files and choosing your conversion settings.
About the File Structure
When you record a time lapse on your GoPro camera, the images are saved as individual
.JPG files (or frames) in a folder called “100GOPRO”. If your recording contains more
than 999 frames, the camera breaks the files up into separate folders. The second folder
will be called “101GOPRO” and the third “102GOPRO”, etc. In order for GoPro Studio to
convert the files properly, you’ll need to keep the folders separate, just like they are on
the SD card.
Importing Time Lapse Sequences
The process for converting time-lapse sequences into GoPro CineForm files is as follows:
1. Copy the time lapse folders from the DCIM folder on the SD card to a location on
your computer. We suggest creating a specific folder for your GoPro Studio
projects.
2. Click the IMPORT NEW FILES button and browse to the folder that contains the
time lapse sequences you want to import.
3. Highlight the folders you want to import and click Open.
4. Press ‘Command+S’ on your keyboard to save the project.
