## About The Project
Time-lapse photography is a technique whereby the frequency at which film frames are captured is much more spread out than the frequency used to view the sequence. It allows the user to create beautiful videos of a slow-changing environment. For example, if you have one 2 hours of video containing the sunset, you can create a 2-minute short video of it with just the click of a button.
## Demo
_This will be updated soon._
## Downloads (Executable)
- [Windows](https://github.com/animikhaich/Timelapse-Creator/releases/latest/download/Time-Lapse-Creator-windows-x64.exe)
- [Linux](https://github.com/animikhaich/Timelapse-Creator/releases/latest/download/Time-Lapse-Creator-linux-x64.run)
## Getting Started
If you just want to run the code, then you can head to the Releases Page and download the executable. I have it both for Linux and Windows. If you want to develop, modify or contribute, you can follow along.
### Prerequisites
- [Python 3](https://www.python.org/)
### Built With
I wanted to reduce the file-size for this simple project. Hence, I used Tkinter instead of PyQT5.
- [Tkinter](https://docs.python.org/3/library/tkinter.html)
- [OpenCV](https://opencv.org/)
### Minimum Hardware Requirements
- CPU: 1 Logical Cores (Threads)
- RAM: 500 MB
- Storage: 500 MB (Including Dependencies)
- OS: Linux, Windows, MacOS
### Installation
1. Clone the repo
```sh
git clone https://github.com/animikhaich/Timelapse-Creator.git
```
2. Install Python packages
```sh
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
1. Run the main file
```sh
python main.py
```
## Usage
There are two buttons and a dropdown selector.
- With the first button, you can select and open one or more Video files
- Then you can select the amount of speedup that you want to introduce to your video
- Finally, press the "Convert" button to see the video being processed on the progress bar.
