Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop Mike, is there a provision in any of the popular NLE programs (Premier, Vegas) to allow for time lapse sequences to be taken from existing video?Most video editors will allow you to adjust the playback speed (speed itup) which produces a similar end result to time lapse.However, you will have limited recording time with this approach.

Mostcamcorders are limited to 60-90 minutes of recording. You might get a fewhours if you record directly to a hard drive. But, true time lapse will letyou capture MONTHS or YEARS on even a small hard drive. Any suggestions for CHEAP software that does time lapse/stop motion video?Here's a response I wrote back in Feb 2004 to a similar request. I don'tknow if Tiar and WinTLV are still around, but you can download 'ScenalyzerLive' from you use your camcorder, you'll probably have to remove the tape toprevent it from powering down after 5 minutes and you may have to disablethe 'screensaver' mode in the camcorder too.I've also switched to the CinemaCraft Encoder for making MPG's, and'NeroVision' for the DVD creation.Hope this helps.Anthony-I needed something similar this last year to film a time lapse of our houseconstruction. None of the 'web cams' I looked at had decent enough qualityto take seriously.One option was to use my camcorder, connected via firewire.

I tried threedifferent programs, 'Scenalyzer Live', 'Tiar', and 'WinTLV'. All threeworked fine (each with their own limitations), but I didn't want to tie upmy camcorder for a year or leave it out in the elements.So, I purchased a used digital camera (Olympus D360) and mounted it outsidein a weatherproof box. I built the box by cutting a hole in the bottom of a'Rubbermaid' container, and gluing in a piece of glass from a cheap pictureframe (with a bolt and washer on each side to make sure it stayed inplace). Then I bolted the box to a post on top of a nearby shed.

A shortscrap of gutter attached the top helps keep rain off the glass, but I alsocoated it with 'Rain-X' to help shed wind blown rain. It's not a prettyarrangement, but has worked well over the last year.I chose the older D360 because it connects to the computer with a serialconnection. This allowed me to run a cable about 40 feet down the pole andinto the shed where my laptop was located.

A USB connection would have beenlimited to about 15 feet or so.I used a piece of CAT5 cable to make the serial connection to the camera.This left me extra wires I could use to run power to the camera as well (Ihad to double up wires for the power connections). A simple power adapterin the shed and appropriate connectors at each end make up the connection.All standard Radio Shack parts.I use a free program called 'CAME' (to control the camera and take the time lapsepictures. Steve's Digicams has a list of similar software atbeen very happy with the CAME utility, even though it requiresresetting several settings if the power goes out and you have to reboot.I started out taking a picture every 15 minutes, but found I missed toomany details.

So, I settled on a picture every 5 minutes which seems towork out well.Every few weeks or so I bring the laptop in the house and transfer theJPG's to my desktop PC. Then I go through and delete pictures that weretaken at night, during lunch, or day's where nothing was happening.

For theperiod of April 2003 to Jan 2004, I ended up with just over 3000 pictures(about 835 MB total). If space were an issue, there are certainly manypictures I could still delete if I wanted to.To create a video from the pictures I used another free program called'JPGVideo' (www.ndrw.co.uk/free/index.html) to convert the JPG picturesinto an AVI file (use Indeo compression to avoid enormous file size).I then use the free 'VirtualDub' (www.virtualdub.org/index) program toresize the video to the DV standard of 720x480 and save it out as astandard DV file (I use the MainConcept DV codec - www.mainconcept.de).Next, I use Adobe Premiere to add music, fade in's and out's, etc. Andresave to a new DV file. Any video editor would work for this. You couldeven use VirtualDub in a pinch.Next up is 'TMPGENC' (www.pegasys-inc.com) to convert the DV video into aMPEG2 file for making a DVD.Finally, I use 'DVD-Lab' (to author and burn theDVD.Overall the setup has worked very well, and the process really isn't ascomplicated as it sounds.

The picture quality is great, and the time lapseis really fascinating to watch.One of the first things I discovered was that I had to disable the cameraflash, to avoid the reflection off the glass of the weatherproof box. Thisis easily done in CAME.

We had one power outage that glitched the camera.This required climbing up a ladder, opening the weatherproof box, andturning the camera on/off to reset it. Otherwise, I haven't really touchedthe camera in over a year.I've had the camera 'shift' positions a couple of times over the year as myhomebuilt box flexed in the heat, or sagged due to the weight of snow. But,it's a very minor problem, and virtually undetectable in the final video.If it were an issue, I could have built a sturdier box and strongermounting.The biggest problem I have had is the fluctuating lighting from day to day.Cloudy overcast day's seem to produce the best, most even lighting.

Brightsunny day's are bad as some parts of the picture are very bright whileother parts are quite dark. I'm sure a lot of this is due to all the talltrees surrounding our house and casting shadows. The camera compensatesrather well with the autoexposure, but there's only so much it can do.Still, the resulting video is pleasing to watch, and an irreplaceablerecord of our house construction.

Second question first. Yes, just about any editing program will permit this. I'm not sure how the first question differs from the second, unless, you are looking for software, that controlls the camera and turns it off and on periodically.What I want to do is connect a camcorder video signal directly to my PC anduse a program to capture frames at set intervals and output them as an AVIfile.Mike.
