Timelapse: a sped-up film of a transformation

A timelapse is a video where a house is built, a car is restored, an overgrown plot is cleared or a garden grows before your eyes. It looks as if it was filmed from one fixed spot over weeks of work, and is shown in 15–60 seconds. How to make one: «Create video» → «Timelapse» (or «My works» → «Timelapses»). Choose a scenario (construction, restoration, cleaning and landscaping, room renovation, growth and seasons, or your own story) and describe what changes — for example «a wooden sauna on the shore of a mountain lake». Settings: • Video type — cinematic, photorealistic, 3D cartoon, anime, watercolour, claymation, miniature. • Light and weather — sunset, overcast, night, winter. • Format — horizontal 16:9 (YouTube) or vertical 9:16 (Shorts, Reels, TikTok). • Length — 15, 30, 45 or 60 seconds; the number of frames is calculated automatically. • Pace — «fast» (speed-up, stronger timelapse effect) or «calm» (no speed-up, fewer frames, cheaper). • Shots — one view, or with a change to a medium and close-up shot, as in film editing. • Final reference — upload a photo of the result you want; it becomes the last frame and the stages are drawn backwards to the start. • Project — the video appears there for publishing; the project's ads are added there too. Storyboard: the AI plans the stages and draws the frames in order — each continues the previous one, so the place and the view stay the same. At this step you only pay for the images. Any frame can be edited or redrawn — the following frames adapt. Animation: after «Approve and animate» a graphics card is rented, smoothly animates the transitions between frames and is switched off right after the work. Then the video is assembled: speed-up, stage captions, music. Usually 10–20 minutes. The finished video can be downloaded, published to your channels and added to the planner. Autopilot: in the project settings → «Autopilot» choose the source «Timelapses», set the series topic and settings — the AI picks a new subject every time and releases a video on schedule without manual approval. Cost: a storyboard frame costs one image (shown on the create page), animation is charged by the actual graphics card time, usually a few kroner per video. Everything is taken from the AI balance.
