I am trying to create a time lapse from a webcam I have hooked up to BI.
I do have it set to record 1 pic a minute and create an MP4 file, but the file is not available until it finishes recording at the end of the day...
So.... I am posting a picture a minute to a folder, and having ffmpeg batch a new movie once an hour and then batch upload it to my website. This way every hour today's timelapse is updated to include from sunrise to when the movie was created.
The problem is every 1 minute is a but too long, but what happens when I do every 20 seconds, and it gets to SkyCam_999.jpg? I need it to go start at SkyCam_0001 and use 4 digits, not 3.
10 hours of Daylight = 600 images for one per minute, but 1200 every 30 seconds, or 1800 every 20 seconds... ffmpeg need to have the format stable, so it has to ALL be 3 digit or all be 4 digit....
Is there anyway to set this up to use four digits in the naming?
Thanks
Phil
