Timelapse with FRAPS?

Technology and Gaming Help and Support
#1

I’d like to capture a timelapse video with FRAPS, for example 60 frames per minute. Is it possible to capture this directly to video or do I have to do it with screenshots.

#2

set the custom fps value to 0.x?

#3

Have you tried it? It seems to be playing at a normal rate in Windows Media Player no matter what value I put in there. I could be doing it wrong though.

#4

so… then you have to make it with screenshots.

EDIT:
or you edit it with a video editing program and remove the frames you don’t want…

#5

If you set it up to automatically take screenshots every minute or so, you can load that into premiere and it’ll treat the series of images as a video file.

#6

Ok Hamster the thing is I don’t have time to obtain Premiere. I’m using VirtualDub and having a little trouble, but it should hypothetically be able to do the same thing.

#7

Get CamStudio, it’s also free, and has the timelapse options

#8

Thanks for that.

Consider this thread closed, unless anyone wants to discuss screen captures further.
I’m using FRAPS to capture 1 FPS, then renaming the frames sequentially and bringing them into VirtualDub to convert to AVI.
