Quote: Hello, I recently purchased a Lumix GH3. Great camera. But doing time lapse gives me a series of stills.
Is there a way to get these into PD-12 in the right sequence without having to do them one by one.

Thanks, Jerry

Hi Jerry,
Open PDR
Locate the images
Highlight all and drag and drop them into the Media Library.
Highlight again and drag all the time-lapse images into a Track
they should be highlighted and the Slideshow button displays.
In Slideshow, select Time-Lapse
Click Next
Preview and then Next to select the closing options.

Thanks Dafydd, Ok I got all the clips into the timeline just as you described.
However, I have another problem.
I did 100 shots at 30 sec intervals on full auto in RAW mode.
On the time line I checked the duration and it showed 5sec per frame. I want to play back at 24FPS but I can't go below 1 fps. So when I preview I get a flicker.
I will attach a file.
Any suggestions? Thanks Jerry

100 divided by 24 = 00:04:04

1. Select Time-Lapse
2. Preview - select Next
3. Production - Advance Editing

Slideshow created

4. Select - Customize
5. 99 frames is the max - select 01 frame
6. Total Duration = 00:00:04:06 - I couldn't get 04:04

I only used the sample images and placed 100 in the track - you do the same.
Count the images as they run through - looked OK to me.

A warning pops up that mentions the jitter effect when the frames per second used creates a very short clip.

The download of your MTS is taking a while - still going.

Hi bigjer73 /Jerry,
The mts look flaming terrible - should be snowy awful, ha ha!

OK, looks to me you've not done what I did and you appear to have chosen the wrong length for the sequence. Please retest, with 100 frames (at 24/23.976fps) you are going to create a fraction over 4 seconds long and not the 8 seconds long you've done.

Thanks Dafydd, I will try for a sunrise tomorrow morning. I see I only did about half of your procedure.
I also read that I should be using full manual on the camera, so I will set up a predetermined daylight exposure before I start recording. I've only had this camera for a few days and I am still getting used to all the bell and whistles.
FYI my favorite camera of all time was my beloved Mamiya C330.

HI Dafydd, Followed your instructions. It worked great! No flicker.

Thanks, Jerry

Good news Jerry. Excellent result. Thanks for the followup.
