Time-lapse recording

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.

Recording options

With the Premium Bundle unlocked, you have more options to select from when starting a new time-lapse recording:

• Fixed view recording or show pan/zoom actions
  When starting a new recording, you have the option to choose between a fixed view recording or pan/zoom, which captures your navigation as you draw.
  
  
  
  
• Time-lapse speed options
  If you want your finished time-lapse video to show the drawing progress happening more quickly, increase the speed option. This reduces the frequency of frame capture, resulting in the piece coming together "faster" in the final video. The actual number of frames captured during any session will vary depending on your actions, as Sketchbook doesn't capture frames when you pause drawing. 4x is the default setting.
  
  

Starting your recording

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 .

A 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.
