INSTAGRAM HAS LAUNCHED a new standalone app that allows users to capture video and replay it in timelapse.
It’s called Hyperlapse and the Facebook-owned company says it has “built-in stabilisation technology” that mitigates against the problem of holding your phone still while you film.
When you’ve recorded the video it can then be played back at speeds at up to 12 times normal speed.
Hyperlapse has been launched as a separate app to the main product and users do not have to have an Instagram account to use Hyperlapse. It is, however, only available on iOS software.
“From documenting your whole commute in seconds or the preparation of your dinner from start to finish to capturing an entire sunset as it unfolds, we’re thrilled about the creative possibilities Hyperlapse unlocks,” Instagram said in a blog post.

Just tried it, seems like fun. Guess we’re gonna see it everywhere shortly.
Microsoft also have a hyper lapse product coming out that does the same thing so I guess they’re gonna have to change the name.
Maybe they will have a different name because as they haven’t released an app yet they wont have to change its name ?
As i said they haven’t released an app yet so there no name to change. Its a technology they call hyperlapse but an available app it aint. Am i right or am i right lol!!!
iOS only? I love Instagram but they need to get with the program. Android is now the largest platform
They have said an android app will follow shortly, have faith
There is one for Android called ‘Lapse It’ that work well.
A lapse it app is also available from iTunes too
Makes my commute look like Indy 500. Only more fun.
Great, now everything is going to start looking like a Charlie Chaplin, or Harold Lloyd, film.
Google Earth is much better – and intrusive.
Think you got the wrong Hyperlapse app?
Has nothing to with and is nothing like google earth
have your say
