How to do time-lapse move (with iMovie)? (1 Viewer)

[DaveF]

I recorded a video of a speaker unboxing and setup. It's about an hour long. I'd like to turn it into a ~60 sec time-lapse video. Any tips on doing this with iMovie or freeware? Ultimately, it will be posted into the Speaker forum

Thanks!

Not really. They removed the Time Lapse capability fron Quicktime Pro ( tho you can buy and download the old version). I'm doing my timelapses in Lightroom now.

Turns out, it's trivial to do what I wanted: create a project, select the video, and crank up the playback speed to 800%. Then cut out the dead spots to streamline it.
