Usually, the lowest JPEG setting on a DSLR is more than adequate to turn the series of images into a full HD timelapse sequence. The lowest quality JPEG setting on the Canon 550 happens to be 2592 x 1728 pixels, which is obviously more than enough for 1920 x 1080 video. However, I plan to take this much further and string together a timelapse sequence made from the highest setting of 5184 x 3456 pixels, which will then be cropped down to a 4k image, which Final Cut Pro will support. The Canon 550D also as a "Normal" and "Fine" mode for its image quality settings, so to help keep the filesize down a little, the plan will be to probably just opt for the "Normal" setting!
Not only does using 18M pixel images enable the creation of ultra-HD sequences, but one can effectively pan and zoom within the large image and still create a full 1080p sequence too, without any loss in quality.
Results of both of these experiments will be posted shortly.....
