Speeding up a movie

10 hours into a minute?! Woah! Even uploading all that onto a computer with the equipment you have would be tedious.

Well, as tedious as this sounds, given what you have you could use good 'o maths!

If you're on NTSC, you're wanting about 1800 frames.
If you're on PAL, you're wanting about 1500 frames.

So, what you're wanting is about one frame from your original footage every 20 seconds (NTSC) or 24 seconds (PAL). Snipping a frame at a time, pasting it all together and you'll have the same result a timelapse camera would give you. If it were me, I'd set aside a month to do it to avoid going insane.

I'm no expert on these issues but seeing as no-one else has offered a suggestion, I thought I'd at least try. For your sake, I hope there's an easier way of doing it.

You might want to shoot on digital cameras, instead of video. Arrange the frames into any apps that can playback in realtime, like Quicktime Player, After Effects, etc.

I bought these digital intervalometers a while back and they still work on my Nikon digital.

In Final Cut express you can slow a video down.
From 10 hours to 1 minute, I'm not sure.

I've used that feature for copying 8mm film to video.

This may work for you, although you will lose most of the frames...

You can do it in QuickTime Pro.

Export: Movie to Image Sequence
Format: QuickTime Image
Frames per second: you'll have to figure this one out - perhaps .05


Then: Open Image Sequence, and save as a .mov or whatever file type you would like

good luck

Glad I could help
