Sometimes the training previews even look better than the actual converted video!
Honestly not a real problem, but I always look at the previews and think "wow it's looking pretty good!! Lets convert/or check the timelapse and when I do I'm like... awww its kinda meh." :lol: It's almost like the previews have had 5% more training than the timelapse. :lol:

Yeah, it's a weird one, for sure! I can assure you, there is no trickery, and they all go through the same process ;)

My word is final

Since you replied, I've thought about it a lot, I think I figured out why. The preview in app is relatively small, since you can't get the images to take up you entire monitor since you have all those task and tool bars and logs on your left and bottom. While the actual timelapse preview, when you open it its instantly fullscreen. I think it looks better in preview just because its smaller and harder to see the faults lol
