I have noticed that when recording with video, video timelapse, or timewarp, the video uploaded to Mapillary tends to be lower quality at 4096 x 2048, compared to the 5760 x 2880 I got from photo timelapse. I have also noticed that Google Maps seems to have the 5760 x 2800 resolution when recorded on video still.
I did some tests and the links for them are below.
I would be fine with the photo timelapse but I want the MAX to take more images about twice as frequently than this. I think the video timelapse would be the perfect speed for taking photos but I can’t take photos faster with photo timelapse. Which is what I need help with.
Yes, I think the GoPro MAX has slightly lower resolution for video than photo (if you’re seeing higher resolution on Google that might just be upscaling). In general I think the resolution and compression hit is worth it if you are capturing in a very dense area and don’t want to miss the details. Otherwise the video or video timelapse mode provide very nice data and upload time savings.
While this topic is old, the link that Hopen111 posted for his “Photo Timelapse” (Mapillary) looks great.
@Hopen111, do you mind sharing the GoPro Max settings you used to capture the Photo Timelapse one? When I tried it on mine, the picture just didn’t look sharp.
Thanks! Do you find that the video is not as crisp as the photos?
I’m going on a trip this weekend and was planning to record. In tests, the pictures looked better than the video, but the 2s frame rate isn’t great. Also, not many web sites accept .360 files vs jpg.
