Instagram's Hyperlapse app aims for smooth time

Make hyperlapse videos at the touch of a button with Instagram's new standalone app.

Instagram wants to make dynamic time-lapse videos easier with a standalone app called Hyperlapse.


Time-lapse photography is a popular technique that has been used by photographers for years. Images are taken at set intervals over a long period and then sped up in a video to make it look like time is passing quickly.


A hyperlapse uses a similar technique, except the camera itself is moving across a large distance as images are being shot -- for example, by moving the tripod between each shot, or taking images from a moving vehicle. This can add a cinematic quality to finished videos, but traditional hyperlapses can be time-consuming and complex to make.


Instagram's implementation, announced Tuesday, focuses on ease of use. There is no login required to use the Hyperlapse app. When it launches, you are presented with the video camera. Use the start/stop button to record and the green check mark to save direct to the Camera Roll.

Adjustments can be made to change playback speed from 1x (normal recorded speed) all the way up to 12x. The app lets you take up to 45 minutes of raw footage; when sped up it makes for a much quicker video.


Instagram has also applied the same video image stabilisation technology found in the regular app to Hyperlapse, so footage is smooth. Users can import video into the Instagram app for sharing and filter effects, but will be limited to 15 seconds of footage like any other Instagram video.


'The most obvious people we expect to really have fun with it are creatives and photographers,' an Instagram spokesperson told CNET.


Microsoft has also reportedly been working on a standalone Windows app designed to make smooth hyperlapse footage.


Hyperlapse is the second standalone app from Instagram, following Bolt which was released in July. Bolt offers a Snapchat-like service that lets users send video and picture messages to friends.


Hyperlapse will be available today through the iTunes Store and is only on iOS at the moment.

Image
The majority of users are waiting for the next smartphone from Apple - iPhone 6 – this year. Unfortunately, the hype around iPhone began to gradually subside with each passing year after the 4th model launched. Therefore, it is possible that the sixth iPhone model of  will not be nearly as popular as it was in the beginning. Global audience perceived iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 much cooler than its early models New iPhones will not cause that “wow”-effect, which was in the beginning, when Steve Jobs' presentations caused a delight and admiration of every new Apple gadget.

Tips: Optimize your blog loading times

A slow loading blog can prevent you from getting new readers and it can also adversely affect your Google rankings.  If you notice your blog loading too slowly, or just want to optimize the speed there are a few things you can do. 1. Use a free web analyzer to determine where your bottlenecks are.  A couple good sites for this are Pingdom and GTMetrix .  These will test your site speed and list out all your elements so you can see which ones are taking the longest to load.  From there you can decide how to improve your speed. 2. Move JavaScript to the bottom of your template. This doesn't actually make your blog load any faster, but it gives the illusion of it because browsers cannot load any other elements such as images at the same time as a script.  So moving them to the bottom allows your other elements to load and render on screen first making the user think your site is faster. To do this, go to Design > Edit HTML and place your scripts just before th...
