Thanks Dave. I cant remember now but I had a data recovery disc tool that would recovered video files as individual frames which sounds kind of crazy but I would use to do just that. This was a long time a go and cant remember but, oh well…

thanks again!

I don’t mean to offend anyone but it seems to me that you guys are reading the question too literal! the 10 day video was just an example to illustrate the point.

Yes, there is a proper tool for everything but sometimes you don’t have those tools. I ran a race this past weekend with a video camera on my helmet and it lasted 35 minutes so If I wanted to get a 2 min time lapse effect I would have taken 3600 still images at a 17.5 sec interval (provided I want to display 30fps). In any case too much math !

Thanks anyways…

OK guys I’m going to try to resurface this topic because I’m looking for exactly the same thing and perhaps Stephen is not using the best example with the one second photo. We have all seen videos of a flower grow right. They show the process from germination to full flower. Now to do this let say for example that the flower takes 10 days to grow (this is just an example I don’t really know how long it takes for a flower to blossom but stay with me…) so I would set my camera to take still images at an interval of lets say an hour so at the end of the 10 day process I would have 240 still images. If I then convert the stills to a 30 fps video I would have the Blossoming flower process in just 8 seconds.

So, and I’m hoping you are still with me, lets say I have a very high capacity video camera that can record 10 days of video of the same flower process and I wanted to get the same 8 second video time lapse effect, I would have to remove all the frames in between each hour of video to have only 240 frames at the end.

So, long explanation but I hope you guys see what I mean, is there some software that you know of that given a video can remove frames for a specific interval so as to get a time lapse still image effect?
