Example
Say you have a 10 second clip taken at a time lapse interval of 3 seconds. How long is that in real life? Assume the industry standard playback frame rate is 24 fps [1]
Example:
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
If you select 'event duration' - the calculator will produce the actual recording time. That recording time is 12 minutes of real-life action. This is useful for documenting build tasks by capturing time lapse to produce the actual time taken for build steps.
Notes
- Note that Akaso v50 Pro action cam is somewhat unintuitive in clip shooting. You can set time lapse to 1 shot per second. You can capture at 60 fps and 30 fps. The fps will determine the clip length at the end. If the shooting is at 30 fps, then a 1 minute timelapse will take 2 seconds of playback. If it was shot at 60 fps, a 1 minute recording will take 1 second to play back. This is clear by putting in the corresponding values in the time lapse calculator above.
