Took this one last night, a full hour of recording time at 2 second intervals. I thought the cloud activity was pretty good along with the light.

Very nice Ben.
Ben, this is your best timelapse! It was perfect in every way I would say.
So what were your camera settings and did you change any timing in Movavi? Whatever you had set your camera at, and it was your R5 I think? Whatever you set that I think is how you should do it going forward.
I also liked the length of this that it lasted a whole minute.

Impressive... the music was awesome as well. I’d like to watch it on a 4K surround sound

flowing like a river , momentarily glowing in the sun but never slowing. A project worth doing and a video with seeing, Ben

Definitely your best one yet in my view. Nice work.

Wonderful! Great job!!!
Thanks all for your comments. This was in camera time lapse, Canon R5. 1800 images at 2 second intervals. I believe I was set to f8 and about 1/60 second with auto iso. I processed it in Photoshop using camera raw filters then ran it through Movavi to add titles and music. No change of speed.

That is just lovely, Ben.

Now that’s what I’m talking about! You really lucked out with the clouds and light. Your best yet by far.

Ben,
Yes very excellent results! I must say I am also still very partial to Sunset at Utah Lake as well, and I actually like the original a little more, as to me the faster one seems rushed, especially compared to the music.
On this one, it is very nice. The colors and motion are very good, and the pacing seems right. The music works well too. Really a top notch TL!
As far as the music goes my 2 nitpicks are that I would still like to see the music fade out as the video fades out, and it would also be nice to see a music credit in the time-lapse somewhere, even if it is not required by the artist whose works you have licensed to use in your video, unless that information is simply not available to you. In this case, I liked it and would be inclined to look for my own music from the same source and/or same composer if I had that info.
Now on the technical side, a few more questions:
1) Not sure what you mean by a time-lapse in the R5? I assume you took stills and then post processed them into a video in Photoshop?
2) I have read some stuff from some serious time-lapse folks that advise not to use auto ISO, although my small amount of experimentation with it seem to show it does work well. It certainly seemed to keep your exposure right on as the light was fading. Is the ISO the only thing that was changing in order to keep exposure locked in?
With these results you are going to be teaching us all how to do this soon enough

Mike. How do you credit music? Just in the opening title? I have no problem doing this. I found a source for copyright free music, but it is not my favorite pieces.

Time lapse is video, time interval is individual raws or jpgs assembled later. That's how I distinguish them, lapse=video, interval = normal images.
I have really liked the auto iso option, I get a natural drop off in light without it getting too dark. Yes, ISO is the only thing that changes. I use manual mode with auto iso. Anything up to ISO 3200 does not seem to hurt a time lapse. You can open them in Photoshop and under filters>camera raw, you can do everything available in Camera raw including NR and sharpening.
I just learned how to adjust the music volume last night after all these videos were uploaded. I was using a volume control that had no effect on the rendered video. Now I know how.

The same way you put a banner about FocalWorld at the end, just put some text that is visible for a number of seconds at the end regarding the title and composer and/or where you got the clip from...It could be at the beginning or the end, but seemingly is more often at the end. Just think movie credits from a typical hollywood movie...
