I would love to have a timelapse record feature.
Something that saves pictures every X Frames.
It would be cool if it could also turn the frames into a video but that is a bonus not the primary request.

Case use for this is to record daily usage on my PC so I can look back at the day and see what happen.
I don't want to record or screen grab if I am on a PC for 4 hours BUT I do want to look back on what I did and how I did that.

Thanks for checking this out.

This could be implemented with a shortcut that calls the `take snapshot' function and sequentially numbers them with a user defined time interval.

The sequence could then be loaded and replayed. Could be a good closing sequence for a show.

This is a really old thread.
I am not sure how to tag Peter B to ask how to do what he is saying.

I am not sure how to trigger the shortcut every X seconds to take a snapshot.
Of course I didn't try to find this before I did a LIVE 24 hours!!!

How silly of me.
I am almost 8 hours in and I thought, wow a timelapse of the 24 hours would have been cool, d'oh!!!

Anyway if someone sees this in the future please let me know if you know how to use a shortcut to create the timelapse as described.

Thanks everyone.

Interesting

what if there where a shortcut function called "SnapshotInput"
and we had a countdown to trigger that and restart the countdown for the next one
or if scripting was an option

;-)
thanks 1 user thanked doggy for this useful post.

I managed to do the time lapse. I made a tutorial on my Youtube channel. Take the opportunity to subscribe, kkkk



SCRIPT:

dim snapshotid as integer = 1
while True
Console.Writeline(snapshotid)
dim snapshotfileext as string = ".png"
Console.Writeline(snapshotfileext)
dim snapshotname as string = snapshotid & snapshotfileext
Console.Writeline(snapshotname)
API.Function("SnapshotInput", Input:="1", Value:=snapshotname)
snapshotid = snapshotid + 1
Sleep(10000)
End While
