timelapse-generator

Overview

Ever heard of ffmpeg? This is a bash script to generate a timelapse video from a video source using the ffmpeg CLI tool.

Requirements

Ensure you have ffmpeg installed on your system.

Usage

1. Navigate to the timelapse-generator directory:

   cd timelapse-generator

2. Run the script with the following command:

   sudo bash ./generate_timelapse.sh ~/path/to/destination/folder ~/path/to/video/source

3. You can adjust the number of frames per second by modifying the -r 1 attribute in the script to -r <any number of frames>

   # Adjust frames per second as needed, example:
   ffmpeg -i "$filename" -r 10 -f image2 "$temp_dir/%05d.png"

   Note: the higher the framerate the slower the video. This means you can generate a slow motion video too.
