Hello, this is going to be my first LudumDare, and I decided I wanted to create a timelapse movie. Well, I created ETL or Easy Time Lapse. Choose a file format (BMP or JPG), a minute interval (cannot be decimals), and click the button to begin. Tada! Screenshots will be created in a \/screens directory.<\/p>\n

Random info<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If you create a timelapse ever 1 minute, you will have 2880 images.<\/li>\n
  2. The size of those bitmaps will be approximately 8.5gb<\/li>\n
  3. The size of those jpegs will be approximately 500mb<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n

    Based on 3mb for BMP, 170kb for JPEG. The quality of the jpegs isn’t bad either, in fact, it’s great. I encourage you to try it out before hand, and sorry for releasing this so soon to the competition start but I hope at least one person will use it ;).<\/p>\n

    Link (Windows ONLY; any version should work): http:\/\/willhostforfood.com\/users\/Dazappa\/ETL.exe [~500kb]<\/p>\n

    This program also doesn’t do anything fancy like adding in the time to the image. I wanted to release it ASAP.<\/p>","time":"August 8th, 2008 3:11 pm","title":"ETL: Windows app to create timelapse images"}
