In general I'd suggest using stills not 4k video for time lapse because of the extra resolution, color depth and dynamic range it gives you. We shoot 42 megapixel stills using the A7RII silent shutter mode to avoid wearing out the mechanical shutter.
My documentary group uses the A7RII and the Kessler "Second Shooter" 3-axis motion control head on a Kessler motorized slider: ANY help I can get would be deeply and sincerely appreciated, I should have time to run some test shoots with your advise before next Monday, Sept 28th, when the shoot begins. for this? It will obviously be day and night over a 5 night span shooting outside a window, and needs to look amazing. Can anyone recommend settings, apps, etc. I have a Sony A7s with Atomos 4k recorder, and plan on renting a cine lens, AC power unit for the camera body and 4k recorder for the shoot specifically. They want a time lapse video of a wall, outside the window of a hotel room, in the Marriott, where they will be installing some sort of big mural for the company over 5 days.

I dunno if the technique he uses to black out the windows and create the opening is something you can learn just by googling, but if I had a hotel room in NYC locked off for 5 days with some cool view outside I'd want to give it a shot. and show off the hotel room at the same time as the mural. I don't think anyone's ever shot a giant wall-size time-lapse camera-obscura. Now if you really want to impress them, rent a second camera and create a camera obscura in your hotel room, like the photgrapher Abelardo Morell did in his book Camera Obscura: Of course some of the more advanced motion sliders I think could give you rotation control as well which you obviously can't get from cropping. I haven't done this myself yet on my A7R2 but it looks like a pretty neat option because you can zoom in to 25% of a 42MP image and still get 4K resolution (or zoom in to 12.5% if your final output is 1080p). Here's a guy on DPReview that recently posted a big timelapse montage he did using the Sony A7, post-processing in Lightroom, then adding the motion in PanoLapse:

This will allow you to crop down to 4K (8 megapixel) in software to zoom and pan around the time-lapse without the need for any additional motion hardware. Motion sliders are one option but since you seem to be into renting equipment you might consider renting an A7R2 so you can shoot 42 megapixel stills. For any long timelapse you'll definitely want some motion in there to keep it interesting.
