Freeware > Pour cinéaste en herbe

Pour réaliser un clip vidéo, on peut filmer de la manière classique ou revenir à l’ancienne méthode de photos assemblées pour obtenir une séquence animée. C’est l’objet de Photolabse.

Photographiez des gens jour après jour, ou un coucher de soleil minute par minute, et laissez votre créativité s’exprimer. Un fois toutes les photos réunies, chargez-les dans le logiciel qui s’occupe du reste.

PhotoLapse is a freeware jpg to avi convertor.
It will convert a jpg sequence into a, by codec compressed, movie.
I created it for making timelapse movies of large sequences of jpg stills
and couldn’t find any freeware programs to do the trick the way i wanted it.
PhotoLapse needs no installing nor does it modify your registry, just one executable.

* You will need proper codecs for compression of the resulting movies *

With all those digital cameras around these days, the beauty of timelapse
movies is in reach for everyone.
- Take out your digital camera and set it in a low resolution (640×480).
- Pick an object to make a series of stills from, like the clouds or the moon.
- Place your camera in a steady position.
- Make sure you are in a comfortable position because it’s gonna take a while….
- Depending on the subject and the speed of your camera, make a photo every
10 seconds or so and take as many photo’s as you like.
- Download the photosequence to a folder on your pc.
- Start up PhotoLapse and make your movie.
