For the first method can you turn it into avi. or something else other than quicktime?

[samirhunited7]

When using your iSight, how did you manage to get such a good view of the sky from your computer?

and how do you connect a camera to your computer?

Can anyone recommend software that is like Gawker but for the PC, thanks

[Nevanator7]

Does Gwaker still work if my computer is in sleep?

[SnowboardNOR]

i dont get this; the program dont detect my Nikon D70S OR my Sony videocamera... anyone knows how i make the program use these cameras?

Gawker started gaying out on my mac on 640 480 vid with 5 secs at 40 frames. Evocam looks to be running very smoothly and professionally compared to the Gawker.

I was actually surprised at the many functions it sported inside it's simple looking interface. A bit difficult to grasp at first but after spending about 5 mins on the program, it becomes second nature. I am testing it's performance as we speak so I can't speak too soon yet. It just might be my computer if it freezes again. 1.5gb RAM

will it take loads of memory? like if I did that for 24-hour 5sec per frame. how much would that take? 500mb? 2gb?

@GuineaForce

I took 12 hours at 1 frame @ 5 secs.

300MB, not too bad

I've done this with Power Director on the pc.

I drop the video clip on the timeline or storyboard. Select Speed. A box pops up which lets you use sliders or type the duration time in hr, min, or sec. I prefer the latter.

This seems more like how to make a stop-motion, I was expecting how to take a video and make it go faster with is very easy with apps like Final Cut,

[dragade101]

i know how to do this in final cut pro which I feel is far better. (take a clip, add that to the 'time line', select desired section, then there is a render option which allows you to speed or slow down the content. This also gives you a lot of control of how much you want to see and how long you want to view it in. I would be more specific but I dont have final cut pro on this computer.)

following the above method is ok. But if you have footage from another source its nice to use that.

cool

Great stuff thanks

You can just do time lapse with iMovie HD 6. It has the time lapse feature built in. (you can control how often it captures a frame too).
