3 Top Time-lapse Photography Video Templates for After Effects

Try these top templates for After Effects from Envato Market and Envato Elements to help you create cool and interesting time-lapse videos.

1. Minimal Page Flip

This is a nice way to create a sense of movement like time-lapse with your images and still have room for any messages you might want to include. The style is minimal and clean.

 

2. Timelapse Photo Gallery

This template for After Effects has placeholders for both video and photographs. Include a time-lapse in the background and individual images in frames, throughout the template. There’s space for additional text if you want to include dates or descriptions.

 

3. Timelapse Parallax Slideshow

Include photos and videos in this neat slideshow for After Effects with parallax movement and dust and particle effects. Links to the fonts are included and everything is fully customisable.
