0:00.0	In the last video we talked about different ways that you can capture time lapse footage and if for some reason you
0:13.4	miss that video I will link it up in the description. In this video I want to talk about how we're
0:17.4	going to use editing software to stitch that together and we're going to start in Lightroom.
0:21.8	Now in Lightroom I have already imported my images
0:24.4	and I didn't mention this in the last video,
0:26.2	but I like to shoot raw format when I can.
0:28.8	We're going to export this as a jay peg sequence,

1:07.0	actually changes over the course of the sequence. So I'm not going to make any
1:11.3	dramatic exposure changes
1:13.4	even though this image is probably a little bit dark.
