How to make a Time Lapse GoPro Video in iMovie using Pictures
Here is a quick video I put together on how to make a Time Lapse Video using your GoPro in iMovie 09 using the ‘take pictures every X seconds’ mode.
It’s very easy to do. You can actually make a time lapse movie using video or pictures.
When making it with images, I put my camera in the ‘takes pictures every x seconds’ mode so that it takes pictures every 1, 2, 5, 10, 30 or 60 seconds. If you shoot something that only lasts a few minutes, use a shorter interval like 1 or 2 seconds. If you shoot something that lasts a few hours or an entire day, use a longer interval like 30 or 60 seconds.
- The in-camera version, also known as time-lapse video mode, is available on many of the newer GoPro models, but not all of them. And on those cameras that do have it, the output formats and interval options are not always the same. Overall, time-lapse video mode wins on convenience simply because it handles the shooting and compiling in one.
- Most time-lapse videos are 24-30 frames per second, so you need to consider that when taking the photos. Having a trigger allows you to set the camera on a tripod, hook up the trigger, and leave connected during the time-lapse. Time-lapse video using photos in iMovie.

- Reason #2 why iMovie is great for editing GoPro videos is that is that it’s free! But don’t let the price tag fool you even with its pretty interface, it is a very robust piece of editing software for something that costs zero dollars. Plus, if you learn to edit videos with iMovie, and realize you love editing videos.
