I’m having issues creating time lapses on both of my Pan cameras. I read/saw that you need to be on the same wifi network to complete this? Is this only for the first time you make a time lapse? Also, I attempted to create a time lapse for yesterday between a specific period of time for the camera …

I’ve always heard you need to be on the same wifi network when dealing with time-lapse, definitely for downloading, but quite possibly for scheduling too. All of my cameras (V2s) are on the same wifi except one so I really haven’t had much trouble scheduling and only a couple issues finding it afte…

Phone does not need to be on same network to set up a time lapse, only to down load it. I would start by power cycling the camera.

Thank you both. I can reboot the camera and give it a try a bit later. What I’m trying to do in both cases in create a time lapse for a period of time that’s already occurred.

If you have real time video, what is a time lapse but just a speed up of that video. Most basic video editing software will let you speed up and save a video. That may be all you need.

That’s an option I didn’t consider. Is there a way to pull the footage from a certain period from the SD card?

Unfortunately, there are only two ways to get the video off the card: While playing it back in the app, press the record button. This is a real time process and therefore you phone will be tied up while you wait for it to play through all the footage you need. Remove the card, plug it into a c…

Time lapse cannot currently be created from existing video. It can only be created during future recording. However, there’s a Roadmap topic that you can vote for below. Make sure you click the VOTE button at the top:
