This time lapse reference table shows the final clip length for a range of shooting duration values, assuming an interval between shots of 5 seconds and a playback frame rate of 24 fps. Every figure is computed with the same engine that powers our Time Lapse Calculator, so the numbers are exact.

|---|---|---|
| 15 minutes | 7.5 | 180 |
| 30 minutes | 15.0 | 360 |
