Hey all - what would you suggest for a timelapse setting for getting clouds in the sky going past? 15x? More? Thanks!
Hi Nick: Sorry to sound a bit unresponsive to your question, but it all depends on how fast the clouds are moving in real time. I've almost always had to experiment by recording a short clip to see what the correct settings for the cloud motion are.

Hey Nick: It occurred to me that you might not have seen this tutorial -- it has an example with clouds in it: https://gomovi.com/tutorials?v=timelapse Cheers Andy Forensic Software & sUAV / Drone Analyst : Photographer : Videographer : Pilot (Portland, Oregon, USA): Trees=2, Ground=1, Props=11.

Hi, There is easily available information that will help you estimate in advance what kinds of clouds will be in your area and when clouds are likely to be moving particularly fast, or for that matter particularly slowly. If you are in the US, the place to start is with the latest National Weather Service “Area Forecast Discussion” for your area. This is a discussion in fairly plain English about the probable upcoming weather. Most people have never seen it, but if you have any interest in weather it is a big improvement over what you see on the TV news and on the popular internet weather sites. Then you need to read your local aviation forecast for types of clouds and winds aloft. This information is readily available on the internet, including in graphical form. It is basic - indeed critically important - reading for commercial and private pilots, and will give you probable wind speeds at several elevations. It doesn’t take long to figure out how wind speeds aloft translate into cloud movement. These products, which are free, are updated throughout the day. If you aren’t in the US, the same information is available in other countries. Cheers
