(Take note of the clock in the lower left corner).

If you can choose, it's better to capture more frames or even 1:1 video, and then speed up the footage, than capture too few frames and get choppy movement.]]> Nudel General Sat, 07 Apr 2012 06:02:25 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,127680,127700#msg-127700 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,127680,127700#msg-127700
How long do you want the video playback to last - e.g 1 minute
What playback frame rate does your app use - e.g. 30 fps
this means you would need 60 * 30 = 1,800 frames

How long does the print take that you want to film - e.g. one hour = 3600 seconds,

so to get 1800 frames, you would capture 1 frame per 2 seconds.

Capture rate = 1 frame per (Print_time_secs / (Playback_Secs * Playback_FPS)) seconds .

Someone else may be able to suggest whether a different capture rate makes for a more watchable result.
Otherwise - give it a try... then be the one to tell us how it worked out :)]]> nb99 General Sat, 07 Apr 2012 04:30:45 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,127680,127696#msg-127696 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,127680,127696#msg-127696
