Quote: I shot a time lapse this morning. 3657 photos. I was just importing them into PD10 and got a dialog box telling me I was "exceeding the system limit of 2500"

Then it shut down. Poop.

Can the system limit be increased?

32-bit or 64-bit system? If 32-bit, then maybe if you went to 64-bit the limit would be bigger (or maybe not); if 64-bit, you're stuck.

There are always limits somewhere.

Can you break your project into several parts? Jerry Schwartz

Hi Tom

The limit is 2500 (on my system anyway).

I would do Jerry's suggestion of breaking it into parts.

1. Import 2500

2. Produce

3. Import the remainder

4. Produce

5. Import both these Produced files into a new project and Produce again

Happy editing

I would break it into smaller parts than 2500. Taking it to the limit isn't a good idea. It's very easy for developers to have a one-off mismatch (2500 in one place in 2499 in another). Jerry Schwartz

I've already done what you guys said. Two parts. But I wish I could increase the limit to say 5000 images.

Thanks! ~Tom~

Besides all that... I would like to see that video. You have exceeded my best size....... by a lot.... __________________________________________

Preface: We have had a problem with ducks landing in our pool. I found that a couple of swan decoys in the pool will discourage them from dropping in. It works.

The current of the water and the wind make them move around. Every time I look in the backyard they are in a different spot. So I thought it would be interesting to do a time lapse and see what they actually do.

Just swanning around I guess

Were the decoy swans tethered together? Happing editing

Fantastic Tom ... what equipment does one use to get so many time lapse pics Or even just 500 fairly rapid shots.
You have given me some ideas about the stills and videos that were shot at my recent 'big 0' event. CYa Ron (W10/i5gen8/Nvidia)

Thanks Bab!

Ron, for this I used a GoPro Hero camera. It has options in it to do time lapse and you can set the interval between pictures.

Many other cameras today have the ability to do timelapse, with the addition of an "invertalometer" that plugs in where the remote shutter button would plug in to the camera.
