When it comes to shooting timelapse videos with GoPro, there are two choices: GoPro Hyperlapse<\/strong> or Timelapse<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Both \u201cspeed up\u201d time in the resulting video. But, what’s the difference between the two? Is one of them better than the other?<\/p>\n

In this article, you’ll find detailed comparison of both, so you can decide which one to choose.<\/p>\n

GoPro Hyperlapse<\/h2>\n
\n

GoPro Hyperlapse<\/a> is, basically, timelapse with the camera moving (not stationary). When you use this mode, the GoPro camera applies HyperSmooth<\/a> image stabilization technology to your time lapse video. This results in smooth and shake-free videos while you’re moving about a scene. Please note that GoPro does not use the term ‘hyperlapse’. They call it TimeWarp.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Using GoPro TimeWarp, you can increase the speed of your footage up to 30x<\/strong> which lets you turn longer activities like hiking or biking rides into shareable moments.<\/p>\n

Let’s say you have shot the video of an otherwise monotonous road trip recap.<\/p>\n

In real-time, such footage would look boring! Now, if you speed the same thing up by 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x or 30x<\/strong> and pair it with GoPro’s HyperSmooth video stabilization technology, you get an incredibly engaging result<\/strong>. That’s the beauty of GoPro Hyperlapse or TimeWarp, whatever you may like to call it.<\/p>\n

\"TimeLapse\"<\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

GoPro Timelapse<\/h2>\n
\n

GoPro Timelapse<\/a> refers to the footage which has been filmed by a still (stationary) and mounted GoPro action camera over a long period of time and then played back at increased speed to create an appealing final video for the viewer. It is a great way to shoot sunrise\/sunsets, horizon, clouds, street scenes, and similar shots that involve shooting for longer durations.<\/p>\n

One important thing about GoPro Timelapse is time interval.<\/strong> Time Interval refers to how often your camera captures a frame of video or takes a photo. GoPro cameras can shoot time lapse intervals of 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 30 and 60 seconds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For example, if you set the 60 second time interval<\/strong> so that the camera takes a picture every minute for an hour, you\u2019ll end up with a 60 second video. It’s great for sunsets, sunrises, people and cars at rush hour, and so on.<\/p>\n

5 Key Differences<\/h2>\n
\n

Here are the five key differences<\/strong> between GoPro Hyperlapse and Timelapse:<\/p>\n

Timelapse combines still images, while Hyperlapse just speeds up video<\/h3>\n

GoPro Timelapse combines a series of still images captured on specific time intervals for a long duration into a video. Hyperlapse or GoPro TimeWarp, on the other hand, speeds up your normal-speed video.<\/p>\n

Only Hyperlapse involves HyperSmooth image stabilization<\/h3>\n

When you use GoPro TimeWarp, the camera applies GoPro’s path-breaking HyperSmooth image stabilization technology to your video. This results in smooth and shake-free videos while you’re moving about a scene. In case of GoPro TimeLapse, the image stabilization does not happen.<\/p>\n

Camera Movement<\/h3>\n

For a quality timelapse video, you need to keep your GoPro stationary. So, you’ll need a stable mount, like a tripod. It will make your image blend properly and let you create a quality timelapse. Hyperlapse, however, doesn’t have any such requirement. It is meant for speeding up videos that have been captured while your camera is moving.<\/p>\n

Examples of Shots<\/h3>\n

HyperLapse\/GoPro TimeWarp is useful to speed up the footage of activities like skiing, motorcycling, snowboarding, etc. GoPro Timelapse is useful to capture sunrise\/sunsets, horizon, clouds, street scenes, and similar shots.<\/p>\n

Compatible GoPro Cameras<\/h3>\n

The GoPro Hero 4 and all the GoPro models that came after it feature Timelapse. TimeWarp, however, is a recent feature that arrived with the launch of the GoPro Hero 7<\/a>. So, it’s available in the Hero 7 and newer GoPro cameras (Hero 12, Hero 11, Hero 10, Hero 9, Hero 8, Hero 7).<\/p>\n

Word Of Advice<\/h2>\n
\n

To sum up, GoPro Hyperlapse a.k.a. “TimeWarp” is better for scenes with a lot of motion, while Hyperlapse is better for static scenes.<\/p>\n

Therefore, if you’re planning to shoot a long duration footage of things like sunrise\/sunset, clouds, horizon or anything similar with your GoPro camera stationary, go for GoPro TimeLapse.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For those who want to speed up the long footage of activities or adventures like a simple walk around the city, biking, hiking or anything similar with the GoPro moving, GoPro Hyperlapse<\/strong> is ideal.<\/p>\n
