I would like to know how is the right way to make an effective time laps recording. I made one following the user's manual indications but every shot results of 4 seconds long and to see it runs the sequence in high speed I cut them by the half, two seconds long, and it works, but I would like load all the sequence of shots into the time lime in frames of short time to see the object recorded floating as I usually admire this kind of effect. Am I making some mistake in the settings configurations? Thanks to all.
How to make an effective time lapse?

I posted some settings here using free software http://nikonrumors.com/forum/topic.php?id=2049
Try a program called star trails that is also free. I don't remember that working as well as ffmpeg, though.Posted 8 months ago # -
@saultv: What gear are you using?

Saulty,
There are lots of sites on the web dealing with timelapse photos. search vimeo and youtube for tutorials. Try using the intervalometer built in to the D7000. Not sure what you are shooting timelapses of. For clouds, I use an interval of 3 seconds and shoot 300-400 images, which at 24fps makes 12-15 seconds of timelapse. of course you can do more.
For star timelapses, you can try the same number of shots. I use f2.8 or so, an ISO of 2000, a 20 second exposure and 30 second interval. If you want to turn the star timelapse into star trails, do use as Jonnyapple suggests startrails.exe, its free. You can use LR 4 to also make timelapse movies. A program called LRTimelapse will help you make timelapse movies while also using LR 4.
These are better ways to create a timelapse, I think, than using the inhouse video in the D7000, although others might think differently.
Have fun.
