An Attempt at Time Lapse Video
So, on our trip the weekend before last (you know, the one with the broken car window and the poorly behaving gadgets), I also took many pictures with the Sony Vaio UX280P out the window on the way.
I've turned this in to a simple time lapse video that's about a minute long. Instead of trying to figure out how to do a little embedded Flash player for my own Flash video, I decided to just let Windows Movie Maker write out in WMV format. Then, I uploaded it to cruxy. Why cruxy and why not YouTube (or Google Video)? Well, I might try those, as well. Cruxy seemed like it might be easier to switch to a local version at some point, though. They also provide tools for transcoding video files to and from most of the major, unprotected formats.
So, anyway, here it is (hopefully):

Very kewl! Never heard of Cruxy before, but it seems to work well enough. :)

Oh Shane, that's pretty cool! Maybe it was worth all that bitching you did when you were setting it up...
:P

It did turn out OK. The original video looks a bit better, of course.
It's not quite the time lapse of Planet Earth, though. Someday I want to try some stuff like that. It would also be fun to do one with a drive across the country, or something, especially if it could be done on a timer so it was more reliable and more evenly spaced.
The other issue was the amount of time I could put between changing frames and the length of time for the cross fade. At about half a second each, that makes for pretty long video from not many images. It can't be too boring, ya know?
