How to Make a Time-Lapse Video in Final Cut Pro
Step 1 Import Clips
Choose File > New > Event. Name it and click OK. Label the project Timelapse. Then go to File > Import Media. Browse to source clips folder. Click Import Selected. Drop the clips onto the timeline.
Step 2 Apply Time-lapse Effect
Click the Retime pop-up menu below the viewer and choose Fast (or you can access Modify > Retime > Fast). There are 4 preset options you can choose: 2x, 4x, 8x, 20x. Or you can customize the speed by selecting Custom.
You can set any speed by adjusting the Rate. Reset the speed by clicking on the little arrow on the right side of the window.
You can also drag the retiming handle to adjust the speed: dragging to the left increases the speed, and dragging to the right decreases it.
Note: To set speed separately for different parts of one clip, you can choose Blade Speed first, and then blade the clip where you want to set different speeds.
That’s it. You may also want to learn this: how to add a countdown-timer in fcpx
