Creating time lapse video in real-time
View Patent ↗A time lapse video is created in real-time, without post-production. User configurations are set for a time lapse video recording. A real-time video feed is received into a buffer. Based on a user configuration for frequency, certain frames in the buffer can be discarded prior to generating the video file. The time lapse video is output as a video file according to user configurations.
1. A computer-implemented method for creating time lapse video in real-time, comprising:
receiving one or more user configurations related to time lapse video;
receiving a real-time video feed;
generating frames according to the one or more user configurations; and
outputting a time lapse video file, wherein the duration of the time lapse video file is less than the duration of the real-time video feed;
varying a frequency of input with respect to real-time for the real-time video feed,
wherein generating frames according to the one or more user configurations is varied contemporaneously with the varied frequency, and
wherein the time-lapse video file is output with more than one frequency of input relative to real-time.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one more user configurations comprise at least one of: frequency of input relative to real-time, duration of input, and duration of output.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating frames according to one or more user configurations comprises:
buffering frames of the real-time video feed; and
selecting buffered frames according to a frequency set by the one or more user configurations, and
wherein outputting the time-lapse video file comprises outputting the selected buffered frames.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the real-time video feed comprises 24, 25 or 30 frames per second of video content.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating frames according to one or more user configurations comprises:
buffering frames of the real-time video feed according to a frequency set by the one or more user configurations, and
wherein outputting the time-lapse video file comprises outputting the buffered frames.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving an indication of cancelling the frequency variation,
wherein the time-lapse video file is output without the varied frequency.
7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing source code that, when executed by a processor, performs a method for creating time lapse video in real-time, the method comprising:
receiving one or more user configurations related to time lapse video;
receiving a real-time video feed;
generating frames according to the one or more user configurations; and
outputting a time lapse video file, wherein the duration of the time lapse video file is less than the duration of the real-time video feed;
varying a frequency of input with respect to real-time for the real-time video feed,
wherein generating frames according to the one or more user configurations is varied contemporaneously with the varied frequency, and
wherein the time-lapse video file is output with more than one frequency of input relative to real-time.
8. The computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the one more user configurations comprise at least one of:
frequency of input relative to real-time, duration of input, and duration of output.
9. The computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein generating frames according to one or more user configurations comprises:
buffering frames of the real-time video feed; and
selecting buffered frames according to a frequency set by the one or more user configurations, and
wherein outputting the time-lapse video file comprises outputting the selected buffered frames.
10. The computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the real-time video feed comprises 24, 25 or 30 frames per second of video content.
11. The computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein generating frames according to one or more user configurations comprises:
buffering frames of the real-time video feed according to a frequency set by the one or more user configurations, and
wherein outputting the time-lapse video file comprises outputting the buffered frames.
12. The computer-readable medium of claim 7 , further comprising:
receiving an indication of cancelling the frequency variation,
wherein the time-lapse video file is output without the varied frequency.
