I made this timelapse a couple of years ago, playing around with Pinnacle Studio 12

There are some more in that channel of similar scope and a compilation of my first attempts with timelapse from 15 years ago, on the edge of Amsterdam filmed from the 12th floor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIk1zKvH8H0
I had my digital camera connected to the pc and wrote a little program that send a click 'take screenshot button' command to a program that showed live video input. It made an avi file of it automatically. (win 98 in 2001 limited to 480p unfortunately) This way I could speed it up and slow it down precisely. The zooming and turning was done by hand, tiny movements in between shots, hence not very smooth. If you look closely you can count the planes coming over lined up into the distance. I used to live right under the approach to Schiphol airport. Very noisy.
I've attempted timelapse in Universe sandbox as well, it took my laptop 2 weeks to render these clips

Too bad you tube messed up the black level and I mispelled then :)
