Hundreds of still images are captured in rapid succession and stitched together to create a seamless video in a classic time-lapse. Time Spirit (also known as Time Lapse Camera) provides Photo Lapse, a series of photos depicting change. In Photo Lapse, you take one photo of the same subject every few days or months (for example, to document a pregnancy or flower growth).

Time Spirit also includes Video Lapse (the app's moniker for classic time-lapse) and Night Lapse, which shoots at a fast shutter speed for nighttime photography.

Time Spirit has all the necessary custom options, such as exposure control, configurable interval times, and the opportunity to add your favorite music. You can pick how long to film for (up to 12 hours) with Video Lapse, and the screen will automatically dim to save battery life.

However, some have stated that the software stopped recording midway through a time-lapse, and Photo Lapse causes photos to be out of sequence.

Time Spirit is exclusively available for Android.

The best camera is the one you always have with you, as we frequently state. The same is true with apps for time-lapse photography.

The camera apps on both the iPhone and Android provide you with this choice, even if you are unaware that you have one. It is a very user-friendly video choice in this case.

Select the time-lapse option, click the red button, and begin recording. Decide how long it will last. As you move around and record the scene, they are technically hyper lapses.

The tool's lack of further functions is the only drawback. However, you can modify the video later either within the app or with a different program for video editing. Additionally, you are not constrained by where you can distribute it!
