We were talking about a rotating mount with a stepper motor, and put it on the roof timed to follow the sun so that it's always in the same place in the frame.

I have done these 2.

But they are a bit of a con. I just upped the frame rate of the video taken. The first one was in HD. I then rendered in SD with a pan/zoom added.

That's cool.

 

this is the best one I've managed so far:

I think the direction the clouds are moving is really important, side to side doesn't look so impressive as towards/away from the camera.

There's another video one then. More for authoring?

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.
