In this week’s video, I discuss time lapse video, those fast-moving videos that convert hours and days of activity into minutes and seconds of video. I explain two ways of creating such videos, one easy and free, the other more complicated and time consuming (guess which method I’ve been using).
It's a large undertaking and investment to build and release a Mac version of Timepage (regardless of Catalyst), and we're a small team - we're doing the best we can to prioritise. Our plan is to release web and desktop version of Actions first, to enable syncing across iPhone, iPad, Android and Mac/Windows. (In Mac OS X El Capitan or earlier choose Turn off Time Machine). When you next want to back up your Mac click on the greyed-out Time Machine icon in your menu bar and choose Back Up Now.

During the video, I demonstrate how to create a time lapse movie using Gawker (the free and easy solution). I also demonstrate how to do the same thing using Evocam ($30) and QuickTime Pro ($30). I also include a short snippet of an older video I created, set to some entertaining music that fans of Benny Hill will instantly recognize.
