Anyone out there use it? I've got a couple questions.
the set up and use was pretty straightforward but upon review of the individual frames in windows live movie maker I noticed more then half had a black border above and below, the others had the pic filling the frame. 1/15 to 3 sec shutter times, 5 second max interval, 500 pics. The d7000 body and 35 1.8g lens were both set to manual, manual ISO, manual aperture, and manual/bulb mode. When I played the time lapse it looked almost as if it was trying to focus which shouldn't be possible. Could it be the white balance? That was the only thing set to auto. All noise reduction and delays were turned off and it was set to single shot as well. It could be just a defect of the app, a cost of only $40 vs $350 for other bramping hardware is asking a lot from it. Or is it the software? I end to be leaning against my settings and the trigger trap itself more then the Windows software.
I also did a quick follow up test and set it to 1 sec to 2 sec shutter, 3 second max shutter, 300 pics and didn't see any of the black borders. Finally getting a useable time lapse I saved it on my pc, sent it via email to my iPad and discovered it was unreadable. Then finding I had to use yet another program to convert it to a apple readable file. If I got a MacBook then is it safe to assume using final cut would eliminate the need to conversion software? I've been putting off the switch to a MacBook for a while. I'll probably get photoshop or Lightroom at that time as well.
