  • Really cool. Can i know your Mencoder code? I have troubles with mencoder, it outputs a low quality. Thanks!

  • @nahuel89p

    mencoder "mf://*.jpg" -mf fps=30 -o output.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=16000

  • You can use color correction on WMM?

  • @imoveatparaderest

    Color correction was done in ImageMagick with settings from GIMP on Linux. I used WMM for final editing, such as adding sound and output. I originally tried Kdenlive and OpenShot on Linux but both those programs would crash too much.

    My next project I hope to be an all Linux workflow.

  • Fantastic quality, kudos to you !

    I've made an ice melting time-lapse myself just today, but with a point and shoot, no intervalometer and no tripod. Yea...

  • I have to much time on my hands.

  • wouldn' t you get the same effect just recording the ice cube and then fast forwarding it?

  • I loved the part where it melted!!

  • thats really cool:D

  • I liked it...
