Sharing your production process - Timelapse
TIPS OF THE MONTH: SHARE YOUR PRODUCTION PROCESS WITH TIMELAPSE
Nowadays, in order to develop our audience and capture the attention of our followers, it is becoming more and more common for an artist to share short videos about their process, their WIPs, the progress of their drawings, etc.
Hence the usefulness of the timelapse tool in Clip Studio Paint which we are going to talk about today!

What is TIME-LAPSE?
Over time, Clip studio has continued to evolve, TIME-LAPSE is a software tool that allows us to gradually record the advancements of our artistic work. So no need for super sophisticated software reserved for videos to be able to produce / record, make a small process video to attract the attention of our followers.
The tool is integrated into the CLIP STUDIO PAINT software and can be used at any time, according to our needs.
From the sketch to the summer camp, it is therefore possible to record it.
HOW IT WORKS ?
1. Start the timelapse
It is very simple !
When opening a new file on CLIP STUDIO PAINT by clicking Ctrl + N, the following screen appears:
At the bottom of the page, we have "Record the time-lapse", to start recording, you must check the box. The following notification appears and you check "OK" to begin.
You can start drawing, the recording is done automatically. As you draw, you can check that the recording is still running by clicking in File and then in "Time-lapse".
If the arrow is checked, the video is running, if it is not, you can start it by clicking on "Save time-lapse"
2. Record the time-lapse
When you have finished a game and want to post the progress of your work, instead of posting a simple WIP, you can either upload the short video or attach it to the WIP to show how you got there. To do this, you enter in File then "Time-lapse" and "Export the time-lapse"
Recordings made so far are saved in .mp4 format. Depending on the length of time you have worked, you have various options:
a) Video length: 15 seconds to 60 seconds
b) Video resolution: 1280px / 1080px / 720px
c) Video format:
After making your choices, you are free to save it to your computer or tablet, rename the file and save!
You are then free to share your video at any time on your pages or social networks!
3. Resume recording?
NB: When you quit the CLIP STUDIO PAINT software, the recording will stop automatically.
If you stop the time-lapse by unchecking "Record time-lapse" as well, the following message will appear and all recording will stop (again, recording will stop).
You therefore have the choice between saving your work and resuming; so the video continues and the time-lapse export recording encompasses the video from the start to the current progress!
If you quit the software and come back later, you have to start a new video, go to "File" - "Time-lapse" - "Record time-lapse", as at the start, the software will ask again for the notification concerning the recording .
And so on, you can share your work !!
ADVANTAGES AND LIMITATIONS OF TIME-LAPSE
1. Advantages
We have many advantages with this tool:
a) First of all, it is directly integrated into CLIP STUDIO PAINT, no need for other video software,
b) It leaves us a wide choice of recording the progress of our work
c) It is easy to use and looks good.
d) The breaks we take, and the time we waste looking for tools or reference screens are not taken into account during production
e) Direct sharing on social networks on tablet or mobile
Indeed, the ability of Internet users to concentrate on a post is limited, so being able to post small videos of 30-60 seconds of process would help us to have more audience, especially since art is something more visual and budding artists and followers are often curious about how we do it?
2. Limits
Despite all the good points of the tool, there are still a few small shortcomings, for example:
a) You can't make long videos like during streams, so you have to use video recording and processing software
b) The recording part focuses on our working screen, so we have no view on the tools we use, and on the layout of our page
c) It would be good to offer other video recording formats (at a pinch .gif) other than .mp4 since some platforms do not take this format into account!
In short, we have a very nice function of CLIP STUDIO PAINT that I invite you to try and use to your advantage! Make the most of the software !!
I hope this tutorial has helped you better understand the tool and its usefulness!
Have fun and share your advancements !!
Kisses, Mu.
