What to do: One of the simplest ways to create a time lapse video is with an app called Time Lapse Creator. It gives you the option of either uploading images or videos, or shooting a video directly via the app itself.

For the purposes of this "how to," I've assumed that you've already shot your pictures, uploaded them to your PC, and stored them in a folder. Now you can do the following:
