About this app

Velocity Lapse is a fully-featured time-lapse and intervalometer app with two capture modes, each with specific features designed for creating different types of time-lapses.

TIMELAPSE MODE
Capture time-lapses using a set interval, optional frame limit, time delay, and manual camera controls. Create beautiful time-lapses of subjects like the night sky, clouds, sunrises, sunsets, city life, studying, art processes, and more. Watch the changes of the world around you over time, condensed into a few seconds through time-lapse photography.

PHOTOLAPSE MODE
Capture photos individually to create a time-lapse of an event happening over an extended period of time without leaving your device on location. At an interval you choose, line up the last image with the previous photo, capture a photo, and repeat. Photolapse mode is great for capturing time-lapses of long events like construction projects or plant growth that can last over weeks, months, or even years. It is also suited for hyperlapses and stop-motion animation projects.

Velocity Lapse contains no ads and is designed with care to give the best possible user experience.

MAIN FEATURES
• Capture up to the highest resolution your device camera allows third-party apps to access.
• Export to 8K, 4K, 1080p, 720p, or 480p video, or as a sequence of images.

• Delay the capture for up to 1 minute before starting.
• An Android foreground service is used to keep the camera running while capturing time-lapses, even with the screen turned off.
• See the estimated final video duration and capture time before and after capture.
• Optionally apply a date/timestamp to each image during capture.
• Import images from your gallery as a project that you can preview and export to video.

Seems to work on a basic level. Would like to use for astrophotography. Several issues pop up. 1. Doesn't show options for capture format. Raw especially. 2. on my Galaxy 25 camera, there are three dedicated cameras,. 14, 23, 66mm. Cannot access the 66mm. 3. Most importantly,. Would only allow a max exposure time of 1/7 sec.

Hello Timothy, I'm looking into this specifically for the S25, but generally: RAW+JPG capture format, lenses, and shutter speed depend on the OEM support for third-party apps.

I download the PRO version with the intention of using it on all phones under my username/account but it appears that it's not an option, unless I'm missing something. How can I use PRO on another phone I own without paying for it again? UPDATE: Your procedure for activating the PRO version on all my devices worked flawlessly. The 'Restore Purchase' link was obscure and I didn't noticed it. Perhaps making it look more like a link would be helpful. Thanks for the quick reply! Great App!!

Hi Mr. Stankosky, the steps to do this should be: 1) Sign in to the same Google Account that you used to make the purchase (ensure that it is selected in the Play store app) 2) go to the Pro upgrade screen in Velocity Lapse and scroll to the bottom. 3) Tap the "Restore purchase" button. Hope this helps. -Noah
