GlueMotion

The application lets users import large collections of photos—including JPEG, TIFF, and RAW files—and transform them into time‑lapse videos. After importing, images can be cropped and adjusted with a range of filters for white‑balance, exposure, color, and noise reduction, while keyframes enable dynamic, frame‑by‑frame corrections that are interpolated across the sequence. An integrated deflickering engine automatically detects and smooths brightness fluctuations, reducing flashing caused by changing lighting conditions.

A live preview shows how different frame rates affect the final output, allowing rapid experimentation before export. Users can choose to export either the corrected image sequence for external stitching or a video file rendered in high‑quality formats such as 8K HEVC, taking advantage of macOS hardware acceleration (M1/M2, Metal).

The workflow is guided step‑by‑step, from import through cropping, adjustment, preview, and export, requiring no additional software. The tool is positioned for macOS users who need a straightforward, robust solution for creating professional‑grade time‑lapse movies.
