    First time lapse

    I just wanted to share my first attempt at a time lapse video that I shot over the summer at Sequoia National Park in California.

    https://vimeo.com/109294029

    I used RawTherapee and Gimp for photo editing, then used avconv to put each individual sequence together and then used OpenShot to combine all the sequences into one video.

    That's pretty awesome, well done! I'm interested, what framerate did the photos end up being displayed at?

    Thanks, I ended up using 25 fps since that was one of the options that openshot wanted to use for saving. I didn't look around too much to see if there was a was to save it in the 24 fps that I originally did for each segment.

    Impressive. How about reading a poem or a John Muir passage as a voice-over?

    Very well done! I liked the soundtrack but at one point a thought that a ship was going to appear, I don't suppose you get many of those in that park
    I'd like to try time-lapse myself one day.

    This is the command that I was able to get to work with avconv
    Code:
    avconv -f image2 -i DSC_%04d.JPG -r 25 -s hd1080 test.mp4
    You will need to replace DSC_%04d.JPG with whatever format your camera uses to name its files and the files will need to be in numerical order starting at 1.
    Changing the -r number will change the framerate and -s lets you set the size.

    Unfortunately avconv, like ffmpeg, seems to be very termperamental so I can't guarantee this command will work for other people(if you do a google search there are plenty of pages where people are giving different commands for both programs saying this was the only way they were able to get the program to work and couldn't figure out why the commands that other people had success with didn't work for them). Good luck
