it's time for a quick comparison which one looks better
the raw time-lapse photos straight from the GoPro or
taking those same photos and running them through Lightroom in Premiere Pro
if you're interested on how to do the latter stay tuned
what's up there YouTube Fam
Javier Mercedes back at it again
Premiere Pro tutorial for you man
GoPro Time-lapse Workflow that's the plan
so please subscribe if you are into that
and smash that like button don't hold back
let's head to the computer it's a Mac
and that is the end of my youtube rap
alright so once you pull the time-lapse off the SD card into the computer
it looks something like this
in your finder what I like to do
instead of having all of these just labeled GoPro random number
highlight all of them right-click
we're going to rename I'm just going to format
and I'm going to call this “time-lapse -“ there
so name and index start numbers at 1
so it's going to take all these and now I know that I have 549
this is much easier for me to read than the GoPro randomness
and also if you're recording a lot of time lapses this helps you
organize an archive those time lapses
in order to start we're going to drag these into Lightroom
boom now right off the bat
Lightroom says hey I saw that you dragged that one file in
here's the rest of these photos in this folder
would you like to drag all of those?
why yes I'm gonna hit check all and I'm going to go to import
the reason I like using Lightroom is because the coloring
with photos especially raw photos is much better
and you just have more control than in just Premiere using lumetri
click on this first one looks like a GoPro shot here
but because we're inside Lightroom I'm gonna hit Auto and boom
look at that already there's just more just information there
now there's a whole bunch of stuff that you can do within Lightroom
and there's a whole bunch of tutorials like one that I made right here
I'm just gonna do a couple things here and your situation is going to be different than mine
because we're outside I like adding maybe clarity
and clarity is not something that you can really get inside premiere
which is nice to have within Lightroom
and vibrance look at the difference right there
something like this
here is how it was before and here it is now way different
once you have your first photo set grab your first photo highlight it and then
go to scroll to the end of all of the photos hold shift click the very last one
and then hit sync now this dialog box that pops up
is everything that you have done and it's saying hey
do you want to sync and copy over all the exposure
and everything else that you've touched up
yes everything that I did in this photo I want it to go to every single photo
so I'm going to hit synchronize and we'll see how it ends up
yeah just look at all that detail that you get in the clouds and you don't really get that over here
I mean I know it looks kind of fake but whatever
I think it's cool just for this tutorial sake I'm good with that
so again select all of your shots from the first to the last and make sure that
the computer has had time to sync all of your changes to every single photo before you export
looks like it's done its thing so now we go up to file export
right here the in the file settings I'm just going to go to JPEG
you could go to PNG if you wanted to but JPEGs are smaller for me and
I'm just gonna do quality 100 and I'm not gonna resize to fit
I'm going to keep them the same scale that they are and you'll see why here in a second
export and it's gonna ask me where to put them
and now I'm gonna call this new folder edited JPEGs
all right and once all those files are done exporting open up premiere
and go over here to our project bin
going to go to import find those files edited JPEGs
select the first photo hit options - image sequence - import
it creates a time-lapse inside Premiere
right here it's telling me that it's going to be 30 photos per second
so when I drop this in my sequence isn't at 1920 by 1080
it is actually at this 4:3 which is o.k.
so at this point I have a 4:3 time-lapse and what I'm going to do is I'm going to
export that at ProRes and keep that as my master backup
by making a pro res copy of just the time-lapse that I've already edited
at 4:3 gives me the option to crop and do all that stuff in the future if I wanted to
in order to export this pro res file export
most of the time this will be a h.264 for you guys so go to QuickTime
we're going to go to this video Codec right here
Apple ProRes 422 hit match source
now we have 3680:2760 which is what it's supposed to be
we do not need audio
click here and make sure it saves to where I want it to
save export
now I'm going to drag that in right here you can see it's time lapse - 1.jpg
and then time lapse - 1.mov
now this dot MOV is the ProRes Version
that's the actual video clip this is the time lapse that premiere has put together
so what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to get rid of these
I'm going to use just this ProRes version because
it's gonna be less CPU intensive to use that video file as opposed to
the computer trying to process all those photos whenever you're playing stuff back
look at that Austria man it's a beautiful place
so now we're in 4:3 which is not good for video
next thing we want to do is depends on what you want
if you want a 1920x1080p sequence then go ahead
but because these are photos you could probably fit them inside a 4k
which is 3840x2160p changes the previews yes
alright so now we have the 16:9
Scale this up because you're in 4:3 you can do something like this
you can take the position and move it up with a keyframe
so now it slowly moves up as the video plays
we highlight this export
and I will do YouTube 4k and again I don't need audio with this
go here and call this time-lapse 4k export
so there you have it my workflow for GoPro time lapses within Premiere Pro and Lightroom
just know that the big key here is you color your material in Lightroom
you export either JPEGs or PNGs
and then you bring those into premiere you export one ProRes file
that you keep as your backup and you use that whenever you need to
And if you guys have some other way of doing things let me know down in the comments
if you liked or if you dislike this video I hope it was helpful for you
I hope you liked my raps
leave me a comment down below on something else
that you want to see a tutorial about and I will get to it
thank you guys so much for watching if you made it this far
and I will see you guys on the next one
