Firstly HNY from all at sUAS News and secondly a really cool work flow from Paul.

In this tutorial, Paul from 123 Drone explains a modern workflow for creating construction time-lapse videos by combining aerial photography with artificial intelligence.

He demonstrates how using the Kling 2.5 model on the Hixfield platform allows for smooth transitions between monthly site visits by animating the gap between a start and end frame. The process involves enhancing image quality with Topaz Photo AI and using Nano Banana Pro to digitally repair site details like unfinished lawns for a polished final look.

To ensure the AI generates realistic motion rather than strange artifacts, the guide recommends using ChatGPT to craft precise descriptive prompts. Ultimately, this method offers a more dynamic and professional alternative to traditional static time-lapses, providing stakeholders with a fluid visual record of project progress.
