After Effects is what I was thinking of. Not exactly authoring.

Yeah, AE is more for compositing. You could do time-lapse in it, I guess, but it's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. And a pretty awkward sledgehammer at that.

Yeah, definitely not the right tool.

 

I'd like to learn to use it a bit to even just add simple text overlays to things.

it's very easy to use to do that, although you'd be barely scraping the feature set - most video editors let you do that already built in.

Yeah, definitely very basic. With a few swooshy in out things of text. Nothing fancy.

Like Milko says, most video editors can do that with far less pain.

Indeed. Any suggestions?

 

I always end up going back to whatever I've got installed from Adobe CS because half of the editors out there seem completely shit, or can't handle HD/H264 properly. Or maybe I haven't looked into this enough.

Unfortunately (for you, not me), I use FCP, so that doesn't help. But any of the main Windows competition (Premiere, Vegas etc) should have demo or laddish versions to play with.

Did you deliberately pan around a bit?

 

I'm planning on doing something similar when I go on a road trip to Germany in July.

Only at one bit, the rest is down to the camera not being mounted on anything and occasionally having to be pushed back into position :$

I thought as much :D

 

I'm hoping to commandeer my girlfriends old HTC Wildfire to mount in the car in a reasonable position. I'm thinking a photo per minute. I'd love to do every 10 seconds or something to create something a bit smoother but I think that would be a bit ridiculous to sort afterwards.

I did one per 10 seconds and it's waaaay too slow.

 

Ideally I'd just take a video of the drive and then speed it up, the gaps (especially at 60-70-80mph) are just too big other wise.

Hmm. I might reduce the resolution of the photos so they're just above 1920 wide. 10 seconds too slow, going to need a big memory card :S

 

Definitely something I need to test out beforehand.

I had my 400D set to "medium" quality and I ended up with about 1,600 photos from the drive, taking up 2.65GB of the 4GB card.

Definitely need to do a test. Already got a phone tripod mount, going to get a camera windscreen mount to get them all together.

 

If that's shit I might try and pick up a cheap 2nd hand Canon point and shoot for the job.

Well I bought one and just made a quick time lapse with it.

Need to sort out camera settings so it stays with the same manual settings.

But it was the camera on my homemade kitchen timer rotating unit attach to a window mount on the outside of my window....

cool. I think you have to have Sigur Ros soundtracking it to call it a timelapse though. It's the rules.
