Time-lapse and canvas properties

The final settings we will look at when creating our custom canvas are related to the time-lapse video and the canvas background.

Time-lapse video

HEVC is a relatively newer format suitable for transparent videos. If it’s toggled on, your file size will increase.

Important Note
