** About

A simple PHP script that takes screenshots in regular time intervals and then combines them into "timelapse".

Take a look at [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV-AFnCkRLY][this video]] to see an example of a timelapse.

Inspired by Ludum Dare, [[http://code.google.com/p/chronolapse/][ChronoLapse]] and [[http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2010/04/23/linux-desktop-time-lapse-creation-script/][Linux Desktop Time-lapse Creation Script by winferno]].

** Usage

 - ./timelapse start [interval] [offset] - starts timelapse script with given interval in seconds (default: 10).

   'offset' parameter sets the initial frame name. By specifying it, you can continue a recording that was previously

   interrupted.

 - ./timelapse compile [framerate] - compiles all screenshots in current directory to a movie. It starts from 0000.jpg. If not specified, framerate defaults to 10 frames per second.

 - ./timelapse clean - removes all .jpg files from current directory

** Required tools

 - php

 - scrot

 - ImageMagick

 - ffmpeg

** Troubleshooting

If for some reason typing ./timelapse [args] fails to execute the script, try: php timelapse [args].
