How do I make a time lapse video with a camcorder?

Question

I have a miniDV camcorder and Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5. I would like to record a drive around town and make a time lapse video.

How do I make a time lapse video? Do I just speed up the footage or am I supposed to use another method?

Answer 1

No just record normally, and speed the up the video

Answer 2

it depends on what software you are using to edit it, but yes i guess you can say you just speed up the footage.  be careful though because on most programs you can only speed it up so much, by the little control.  there should a special time lapse effect somewhere which speeds it up to the speed you want (like makings hours a couple of seconds) etc.  i would just go to the little help men and type in "time lapse" on your program and it should help you find it.  assuming you are using a decent program that has time lapse...you won't be finding it on windows movie maker just to let you know
