Time lapse Movies
« on: May 12, 2015, 11:55:00 AM »
PLEASE can you add the ability to adjust the length of the time lapse movies from 1 hour up to, say, 12 hours.  I show a time lapse on my website but only for the previous hour - I have searched extensively and can find no way to automatically stitch together the saved hour movies for use on a website.  If anybody has found a way please let me know.

Getting the wunderground site to do the work is too troublesome - their ftp server is too fussy on file size and format and you loose the excellent weather summary Weathercat overlays in the bottom left of each image.

I am sure this is a simple tweak and, in the age of Mac's with multiple GB of memory and fast internet connections, entirely feasible to manage the larger output files.

Many thanks

I also tried to figure this out and gave up on trying to use the one from WU. If the 'Cat could do this it would be fantastic.
