Well, the main feature being marketed is its built-in image stabilization. There are hundreds of time lapse apps available on the App Store, so what is it about Hyperlapse that’s making it so popular? It took over a minute to film the entire scene, but sped up by Hyperlapse the video is only 13 seconds long. Here’s an example of a time lapse video I shot at a train station with the Hyperlapse app. It’s the opposite of slow motion videos where time appears to be moving more slowly. When the images are played back as a video, time appears to be moving faster and everything moves much quicker than normal. Time lapse videos are created by capturing a sequence of images of a subject, with an interval of time between each image.


The app has proved immensely popular, with tens of thousands of time lapse videos posted on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter within the first few days. Here I take a look at what all the hype is about. This week, Instagram launched its new Hyperlapse app. This is a fantastic time lapse app for shooting high quality time lapse videos on your iPhone – even while you’re on the move.
