CHDK Time lapse.

Ice melting over a stock Intel heatsink. Shot using a canon a540 running CHDK, composed with virtualdub and compressed using xvid codec.

Used this script:

Now does the script just take the photos in every x amount of minutes or does take the pictures and make the final time lapse for you.

I ask this because I am looking for something that will take pictures every say 1 minute

[Insomniac535]

It simply takes the photos at whatever interval you specify. So yes, it is quite capable of taking one photo per minute until the battery gives out. To make it into a a time lapse I used Virtualdub (very simple to do because it automatically views a bunch of sequentually named jpg files as a video)

i have chdk in my a540, but how exactly you did this? script?

[Insomniac535]

Yeah it's a script. It's a modified version of the Ultra Intervalometer. I was having some issues with the normal script so I posted on a forum and somone modfied it to be better for time lapse. I'm putting a link to the script in the video details.

Those are some pretty good heatsinks. Well designed. Better than nowadays :D

And the time lapse is pretty nice too! Looks like about 300 frames.

@y2kroll Made that time lapse yet ? Have a look at my clips and search CHDK for a couple that are a bit different.

I just found the script in CHDK Wikia. No problems with my A540. Used the same ice melting idea and VirtualDub to transform the image sequence in a video. 1 shot each 5s - infinite loop. Pretty nice, maybe someday I'll try to make a sunrise time lapse :)
