I purchased Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements to make timelapse videos.  I see nothing in the pdf manuals about making a timelapse. Did I buy the wrong software?

    In PRE15 you can use time remapping tool to make a fast motion of a clip, but have not tried it myself.

    But I prefer to do in like making stills, in intervals that I put on timeline, and set duration to 2-3 frames or so.

    I do this in camera, or if camera does not have interval setting I use external remote that do it for me.

    I like doing AEB seqyences even, to make HDR of some of it - but then only use normal exposure ones for time-lapse.

    Unless camera allow to make time-lapse video in camera.

    Excuse me if kicking in open doors and you know this already.

      LDog is right. How you do it depends on what you're using as your source media.

      If you're working from still photos, you do it one way. If you're working from video, Time Remapping or even Time Stretch will work.

        Thanks for the replies guys.  I have an intervalometer hooked to my Canon 50D.  I took a photo every 5 seconds of the setting Moon & Venus and have 1700 images, numbered sequentially.  The image size needs to be reduced to make a timelapse from the photos and I figured out how to do that in a couple of steps.  Now I'm trying to figure out how to put them in a timelapse.  I can do this with my Gopro Studio software but wanted to try it with more robust software like the Photoshop/Elements package.
