So as everyone in the U.S. is aware, the eclipse happened today. Here in Mississippi we were only at 84% totality. I have my cameras set to record 24/7. Now that it's over, what would be the fastest way to pull 1 frame a minute for about 2-3 hours to create a time lapse? Trying to export 2-3 hours of video would take a long time and trying to manually take 120-180 snapshots would take a long time as well.

Just wanted to see if you guys had any quicker ideas, I have thought about something like this in the past but have just never been able to come up with a common sense approach.

Thanks for the help in advance!

My cameras didn't really show much of a difference until totality when they mostly went into night mode for a minute.

If you export the appropriate region of time from Blue Iris you should then be able to use ffmpeg to create a timelapse from the video. Find instructions via google.

How did the video turn out overall?
Did it give a realistic view of what the eye would see?
