    I shot some footage of a flower in bloom with my PD150. I just let the camera roll continuously for about thirty minutes. Any thoughts on turning this into a ten to twenty second clip?
    Could apply a time change, I suppose, but wondered if any of you have better way to go.
    TIA

    Check out BTV Pro.
    I have used it with great results.

    Just out of curiosity, have you tried speeding it up 10-20,000 times or so, fine tuning for our specific results?

    I hear lots of folks buy Scenalyzer for thirty bucks and use it for a time lapse program on their windows laptops. On the mac side, you could look at Boinx software’s istopmotion, which could be set up to look at your realtime stream and sample out appropriate time lapse grabs from it. BTV is also popular on the low end (cost wise). If you have the latest mac OS and any programming skill you might look into making a special mini-application with their new funtionality… basically it would mostly be a Chron script, it seems to me…
