Please disregard the above message, as it has already been discussed in the Open Discussion/Motorized Slider back in July 22. I must be getting old :-).
I suppose to use a slider in a time lapse, it all depend on the subject and actions of the subject in the back ground and the static foreground, in other words COMPOSITION.
Miops has improved the app for their products, I can use the Slider and a Capsule (360º rotator) at the same time; does it look better in the finished product, if for example the slider travels from left to right and the capsule rotates 180º from right to left as it travels along the slider.
kind regards,
Rodrigo

Opposite movements of Slider and rotation always are recommended.
I have a whole section in my EBook where I describe which movements and combinations make sense: https://lrtimelapse.com/ebook/

It's in the latest book only. That is a complete rewrite with 3 times the content (480 pages).

I'm pretty sure that I wrote about focal lengths in the Book also... :-) Generally, shorter focal lengths create the impression of a larger movement. 14 to 20 mm on full frame are mostly perfect for landscape timelapses from a slider.
The closer you are to your foreground, the more impressive the movement will be.
