But we’ve got some more work to do before it’s ready to be rendered as a video. It will have to be saved out as a video file before we can speed it up. If it plays kind of slow, don’t worry – we’re going to speed it up later. Click the play button in the video display window. Now your photos will play like a timelapse. You’ll see the display time for all the photos (bottom left corner of each photo) change. When the photo length options come up choose the lowest display time 00:00:01.

Now it’s time to set the display time (photo length) for each photo, you can change one and apply the edit to all.
