CLI that converts images to a timelapse video.
The reason why I started building this was because I had 22,000 images (from a GoPro) that I wanted convert into a movie. iMovie could not handle that many images. It becomes unusable after a couple of 100 images. The images were taken over the course of 4 days with an interval of 30 seconds of the harbor while on a trip in Tromsø, Norway.
I searched around for an open source solution in JS but could not find anyone suited for my needs. NodeJS might not be the optimal language for this type of problem, but I wanted to try it out anyways.
brew install ffmpeg --with-fdk-aac --with-ffplay --with-freetype --with-frei0r --with-libass --with-libvo-aacenc --with-libvorbis --with-libvpx --with-opencore-amr --with-openjpeg --with-opus --with-rtmpdump --with-schroedinger --with-speex --with-theora --with-tools --with-x265
For now I use this checklist as a todo list. At some point I might convert this to the Github's issue tracker for my own features. Please add an GitHub issue if you have an idea/bug report.
