Time Lapse Recording

[technet]

So, I've set it to post a JPG image each 900 seconds, about 48 images per daytime, 17500 images/year. Let's see how a timelapse of it will be!

I would use the schedule to be Relative to Sunrise and Sunset, so you don't have to keep adjusting the start stop times as the days grow longer. Other than that, it looks good! Let me know if you have any issues with ffmpeg or automating it if you want that.

It was already set for Relative to sunrise/sunset, despite the image not showing it.

Also I've already suggested Ken to implement a better approach of Time Lapses using BI features.

So, let the Time Lapses begin!

Not to derail the thread, but how is the Sunrise and Sunset parameters set in BI? I can't see any related settings options and currently my sunrise in BI is usually about 12:50AM

Never mind! ...I found an explanation from fenderman in the following post: http://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php?2121-Relative-to-Sunrise-Sunset&p=17781&viewfull=1#post17781

...almost one year later, I would like to check with you guys what's today's recommended method to join images to make a time lapse video. Images were taken only daytime, at intervals of 15 minutes.

Is there a method to make transitions "smooth" and more fluid?

I eneded up buying a copy of SebTec IPTimelapse as it did what I needed easier than doing it via batch files....I was having issues with saved names not being correct in the files, and then the creation of the mp4 would fail...

Anyone here using LRTimelapse 4?

...I've tried with it, but it was too slow to deal with more than 17.000 images on an Intel Core i5 with 8GB and Windows 10 x64. It seems to be written in Java, and depends on Adobe Lightroom also.

The following is the result of about a year using 52 images per day, taken only at daytime at intervals of 15 minutes, in a video of 6min52sec using VideoVelocity Time-Lapse Capture Studio:
