Timelapse

Posted by demize

What would be a good interval to take timelapse shots during a Ludum Dare compo?

    I did every 15 seconds ;)

    Better to have way too many than not enough.

    15 seconds is probably way too often.

    Well, I’ve discovered that screenshots don’t take up much hard drive space, so 15 seconds sounds pretty good.

    How long do you want your final timelapse vid to be?

    48 hrs is 172800 seconds / 15 seconds = 11520 frames / 30 fps = 6 minutes.

    I took 1 per minute, and then doubled the duration, the in-between frames that my encoding software added made it less “poppy”.

    I usually run mine at one per minute. It makes big folders, but not TOO big.

    @jovoc: What encoding software did you use?
