X11 Timelapse Desktop Video
Overview
Not really a 'project', but somewhat useful. Allows you to create a time lapsed video of a screen in X. The only dependencies are ffmpeg and import.
Example Video
Reddit new submission time lapse (I decided against /b/ ;). Click image to see video:
Code
- timeLapse.sh -- The script to capture video. Start the script and it will prompt you to click on the window to capture from. Will spit out a file called timeLapse.mpg. It unfortunately requires the window to remain visible during capture. Usage:
Example:./timeLapse.sh DELAY_IN_SECONDS NUMBER_OF_CAPTURES [MUSIC]
would take 1000 captures, one every 5 seconds. Example:./timeLapse.sh 5 1000
would take capture a frame every minute for a day, and put the audio of test.mp3 with the end video../timeLapse.sh 60 1440 test.mp3
Conclusion
Simple yet handy, not much else to say :p I was originally going to put it as a tutorial and not a project. It's really trivial, and the simple technique can be used to do other types of video creation.
