Android and Windows users get smooth time-lapse videos thanks to Microsoft Hyperlapse

Microsoft announced its Hyperlapse technology a few weeks before Instagram outed its Hyperlapse app on iOS. But now, Microsoft is ready for its app to go primetime and help Android (still in beta though), Windows Phone, and Windows desktop users out. The Microsoft Hyperlapse app is designed primarly to transform your shaky GoPro videos and other fast-paced shots into smooth time-lapse videos. The great thing is you can use old videos and process them, which is a feature not available on the Instagram app.

While you can only make basic time-lapse videos on the mobile app versions, Hyperlapse Pro for Windows opens you up to more editing capabilities. The app is simple to use and you can control the speed and resolution results with ease. A trial version of Hyperlapse Pro is available and all footage you create will have a watermark for now. Microsoft plans to release a paid version of the app but there aren’t any details on availability and pricing yet. If you’re wondering where the iOS version is, Microsoft doesn’t have plans yet to release this version.
