Time-lapse recording is only available in Sketchbook on Android and iOS
Time-lapse recording captures still frames while you are drawing and then stitches them together in a video. Every 16 frames captured gives you one second of footage. As you draw, if you zoom in to do detailed work, the recording zooms in, too.
Warning
If you keep Time-lapse running for a long period, the size of the content may exceed the storage space on your device. If this happens the file will not save and your Time-lapse will be lost. Keeping Time-lapse on for hours is generally not a good idea.
If you're on a handheld/phone device, in the toolbar, tap 
, then Time-lapse 
.
If you're on a tablet, in the toolbar, tap .
Tap the canvas and start sketching.
When finished drawing, tap the icon again.
This window will appear, providing feedback on the playback time, captured frames, and session duration, so you can keep track of the length of your video.
- To save your recording, tap Save to Photo Library.
- To continue recording, tap Continue in the upper right corner of the window to return the canvas and continue the recording in progress.
- To delete the recording and exit the tool, tap Discard.

Troubleshooting
When using Time-lapse, if your device enters sleep mode or you leave the app, the captured session is ended and the movie is saved. You can bring any saved captures into a video editing package to create a movie from them.
