With a little patience you can create a polished time lapse movie of your project. You can accomplish all of this with software already on your computer, Mac users should have iMove and PC users Windows Movie Maker. Editing really only involves removing content you don't want and adding whatever you want to finalize your video. The Brinno cameras create AVI movies, so much of the work is already done. The final edit, included the addition of music, logos, title and credit screens. We removed weekends, down time and portions where rain obscured the lens. Since the camera was on a timer, all of the days could have been easily combined to make a longer, albeit, less interesting video. At the start, this may not seem like much, but over the course of four months, three seconds per day turns into six minutes. At one capture every 10 minutes, played back at 30 frames per second (FPS) a full day of work is shown in three seconds. I want more footage than I need but not too much creating excessive editing work. With a long term time lapse the amount of editing work needs to be considered at the start of project. This camera was set to capture a frame every five to 10 seconds, depending on the day.Īt the end of the project I had about six minutes of exterior footage and five minutes of interior. I used a suction cup and ball head to affix the camera to a window above the door. The interior was captured with a Brinno TLC 200 Pro time lapse camera, also mounted in the weather resistant housing.
However, on the next project I will make it a point as I feel it added interest and variety to the final video. I did not have too many opportunities to film the interior work. I am quite confident the camera would have run for the full duration without any intervention. Over the course of four months, I only checked the camera once, downloaded the card and changed the batteries. The camera was set to capture one frame every 10 minutes and the timer was utilized to only have the camera run during working hours. I mounted the camera, using one of my custom brackets, to a board, held in place on top of the job site trailer with sandbags.
