Hyperlapse is now out on Android devices! But before you get all excited, we need to tell you that we’re not talking about Instagram’s Hyperlapse, but the rather confusing app of the same name from Microsoft. But despite that, they do have the same function. And now that Microsoft’s version is now out of beta, you will be able to enjoy the features without signing up with any group or downloading anything other than the app itself.
This app was previously available as a closed beta since May this year, but was full version for the Windows Phone of course. Just like its name suggests, this allows you to shorten those long videos that no one will probably watch, like a 30-minute sunrise or a POV of your trek through the mountains, which in real time would be a 2 hour feature film. With the app, you can just time lapse these videos into condensed versions that would still show the gist of what you experienced.
There aren’t any complicated maneuvering here. You just take the video and then see it in hyperlapse. But you can also use existing videos on your smartphone and turn it into hyperlapse videos as well. You can also use the video multiple times, or change the speed, anywhere from 1x to 32x. And just in case you’d want your friends to see your face in time lapse, there’s also a selfie mode for the app.
Of course all the videos you take or make can be easily shared on various social networks. You can download Microsoft’s Hyperlapse Mobile from the Google Play Store for free.
