i didn't see it in the instructions, but are there any links or online tutorials on what a person needs to do to create the timelapse effect using the HVX? also can the timelapse feature be on shooting to tape on SD?
 
Lots and lots of info on this on this forum.. First, you can't timelapse to tape... Only to P2. It's pretty straightforward and mentioned in the book.. but I like chatting about it so here goes:

You need to have the camera in Video mode... Not in Film mode. It won't allow you to do it in film mode. You have to also have your recording settings in the non-native versions.. so no PN.. and you can't shoot 24p with timelapse....


So once you've set your recording to something like 1080 30p or 720 30p, then go into the record settings and now you should see it say normal.. you can now change this to interval... Once you do that you can then adjust the interval setting to like 1 frame ever second.. or 1 frame every 2, 5, etc.....


Pretty straightforward

Then you didn't look very hard -- it's listed in the Table of Contents of the Operator's Manual under "Shooting Techniques".

No.

Also, the thumbsdown icon for the thread implies (to me at least) a bad product or service, neither of which is in fact the case.

i didnt have to look hard to see there are only 22 sections under shooting techniques and Timelapse wasn't one of them.

as previously mentioned you must use P2, however if your goal is an SD project you can certainly dub your captured results (in camera) from the P2 to the tape transport.
 
If you need more control over your timelapse, you can also use software like ISTOPMOTION (via firewire), which works fine with the HVX 200. Then you can have your camera in film mode as well and you will be storing directly to your HD.
 
hmmmm.. jwfilm. That sounds interesting. How much is that software? Do you own it and recommend it? Might be a cool choice....
