Time-lapse photography with dvd-slideshow
Over the last few years I have been experimenting with time-lapse photography. One easy way to compile a time-lapse video is to use dvd-slideshow, a tool for creating video slideshows from digital photos, and more.
To get started, copy your photos into a single directory on your computer, then use dvd-slideshow's dir2slideshow utility to create the control file that dvd-slideshow needs. The -n flag tells dir2slideshow what to name the slideshow:
dir2slideshow -n "Time Lapse Video" /path/to/photos
When dir2slideshow finishes, it leaves a text file in the current directory whose name closely matches the name you provided; underscores replace spaces and special characters in the name. If you edit the file you'll see several lines at the beginning that provide a title and some fade effects to the video when it is rendered. I suggest removing these; you can always go back and add titles later. Also check the last few lines and decide whether you want to remove the additional effect commands there. When you are finished, every line should look something like the following:
