How To Create a Raspberry Pi Time-Lapse Video or GIF
Time-lapse videos are really easy to create with a Raspberry Pi. Raspberry Pi OS has almost everything we need to get the job done. All you need for this project is a Raspberry Pi, camera, and a subject to capture.
What is time-lapse?
Time-lapse refers to the process of capturing still images of a subject over a long period of time. By combining the images together, a video can be produced. Time-lapse videos can be used for monitoring plant growth, watching the seasons change, or even as security footage with low storage capacity.
Here's a sunset time-lapse recorded on the Raspberry Pi. This was created by capturing one image every 10 minutes.
