Smart Timelapse

Hi there,

As you know, we like to do timelapse videos, when doing a gamejam. There are some great tools out there, like Chronolapse.

But one major disadvantage is the fixed interval for all tools, which does not always fit the needs of a gamedev who does code, graphics and audio all by himself.

Smart Timelapse checks which of your windows is currenlty active and checks a file "intervals.txt" for a part of the window title string. So you can easily do a screenshot every two seconds when doing graphics and a screenshot every 20 seconds when you are coding.

The times in intervals.txt can be floats. If you want to exclude certain programs from screencapture, you may enter a negative value.

The files will be named in a common manner so that tools like chronolapse and others can easily create videos out of the screenshots.

Please feel free to use or change Smart Timelapse. Released under GPL 3.

If you like it, drop me a message at twitter @Laguna_999.

Smart Timelapse was already released for the MiniLD51 Tools Jam. Today I build a new, more stable version with some additional features (like excluding certain Programs from screencapture).

Best, Laguna
