Systems and methods for generating time-lapse videos

A method for generating time-lapse videos, the method performed by a computing system including one or more processors, the method comprising:

• obtaining, by the computing system, visual information, the visual information defining visual content captured by an image capture device;
• obtaining, by the computing system, position information of the image capture device, the position information characterizing positions of the image capture device during the capture of the visual content;
• obtaining, by the computing system, apparent motion information, the apparent motion information characterizing apparent motion between the visual content captured by the image capture device at different moments;
• determining, by the computing system, a time-lapse video frame rate based on the position information and the apparent motion information, the time-lapse video frame rate defining a rate at which time-lapse video frames are generated based on the visual content;
• and
• generating, by the computing system, the time-lapse video frames based on the time-lapse video frame rate.

A system for generating time-lapse videos, the system comprising:

• one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
• obtain visual information, the visual information defining visual content captured by an image capture device;
• obtain position information of the image capture device, the position information characterizing positions of the image capture device during the capture of the visual content by including rotational position information and acceleration information, the rotational position information characterizing rotational positions of the image capture device during the capture of the visual content, the acceleration information characterizing accelerations of the image capture device during the capture of the visual content;
• obtain apparent motion information, the apparent motion information characterizing apparent motion between the visual content captured by the image capture device at different moments;
• determine a time-lapse video frame rate based on the position information and the apparent motion information, the time-lapse video frame rate defining a rate at which time-lapse video frames are generated based on the visual content;
• and
• generate the time-lapse video frames based on the time-lapse video frame rate, wherein at least some of the time-lapse video frames are stabilized based on a punchout of the at least some of the time-lapse video frames.
