Time Lapse faster than 1000% ?

[canaan]

Hi Gents,
I am wondering if it is possible to set the timelapse to somehow be faster than 1000%?
My video camera doesn't support time lapse mode, so when on holiday I recorded a sunset at regular speed and imported it into VS. But at 1000% it is still too slow.
Is there a way to do this with the skipping frames feature?

I guess I could speed it up to 1000%, export then re-import but that seems like a silly idea and would loose quality.

thanks for your help!

You could just manually remove frames from the video - for instance on NTSC removing 29 frames from every 30 will make a 30 second video play in one second.

I would do it this way, as for quality loss it would depend on that file type the original is and how you save it.

If you need to do this 3 or 4 times to get the effect you are after then you could export the original, before any changes to a lossless format and then do the work, finally exporting back to the format you require.

Another option would be a camera with time lapse. The Panasonic HC-V750 has the following time lapse settings:-
A frame every [1 SECOND]/[10 SECONDS]/[30 SECONDS]/[1 MINUTE]/[2 MINUTES]
This will cover sunsets to plants growing. For example 1 Second recording over one hour will give two minutes of video.
