While existing stabilization techniques worked fine for video shot at normal speed, they failed miserably when video was accelerated for time-lapse effects. He found that any attempt at speeding up the five hours of video he’d captured significantly amplified the camera’s slightest movements. Up to now, applying time-lapse techniques to video has produced very shaky results - as Microsoft researcher Johannes Kopf discovered after he used a GoPro action cam to document a mountain climb in the Cascades.

It’s found a way to bring time-lapse photography to first-person video footage.Ĭalled “Hyperlapse,” the technology can shrink hours of video into minutes without the jitter, shake and artifacts previously associated with the time-lapse process. Microsoft has some good news for action-cam fans who like to capture their outdoor adventures in hours of nonstop video.
