In this folder are two files: EXAMPLE.config.json and timelapse_maker.EXAMPLE
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLE.config.json is an example config file. The config file looks like the following:
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"real_days": 0,
|
|
"real_hours": 0,
|
|
"real_mins": 30,
|
|
"real_seconds": 0,
|
|
"target_length_min": 0,
|
|
"target_length_sec": 30,
|
|
"target_fps": 30,
|
|
"camera_ip": "192.168.2.231",
|
|
"camera_port": 3400,
|
|
"camera_username": "henrypump",
|
|
"camera_password": "HPCamera1903",
|
|
"output_file": "test1.avi"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Where:
|
|
real_days: the number of real time days to capture images
|
|
real_hours: the number of real time hours to capture images
|
|
real_mins: the number of real time minutes to capture images
|
|
real_seconds: the number of real time seconds to capture images
|
|
target_length_min: the number of minutes the output file should be (this is used in conjunction with target_length_sec to get the full length of the output)
|
|
target_length_sec: the number of seconds the output file should be (this is used in conjunction with target_length_min to get the full length of the output)
|
|
target_fps: the frames per second the output file should be run at (10fps is choppy, 15fps is less-choppy, 24fps is cinematic, 30fps is smooth, 60fps is really smooth)
|
|
camera_ip: the ip address of the camera (the " marks are important)
|
|
camera_port: the port number for the camera
|
|
camera_username: the username to login to the camera (the " marks are important)
|
|
camera_password: the password to login to the camera (the " marks are important)
|
|
output_file: the name of the output file (the " marks are important also be sure to include .avi else Windows won't recognize it)
|
|
|
|
The name of the config file should be:
|
|
config.json
|
|
|
|
Once the config file is setup just double click timelapse_maker.exe and the software should run itself.
|
|
Some caveats:
|
|
The software is only guaranteed for Panasonic iPro cameras
|
|
The software will not recover in anyway in the event of a windows reboot or the software being closed.
|
|
The software is better suited to longer run times ie: setting longer real time runs is better than shorter ones
|
|
The software defaults to making a timelapse folder in its current folder where it stores all the images once the video is made this folder can be deleted
|
|
DO NOT close the window else you'll have to start over, the images won't be lost but the run will be skewed
|
|
The software processes all the images in the timelapse folder regardless of what run they are from
|
|
Technically the software could be run remotely and given a public IP that is port forwarded but is NOT recommened
