Time Lapse Table: Final clip length by Shooting duration

Reference table of final clip length for Time Lapse across a range of shooting duration values — exact, engine-computed figures you can read off at a glance.

How to use this table

Find the row closest to your shooting duration and read across to the final clip length. For a value between two rows, the real figure sits between them — or enter your exact numbers in the Time Lapse Calculator for a precise answer.

Need a value that is not in the table? — the Time Lapse Calculator does it instantly, for free, with the formula and a worked example built in.
