camLAPSE

Benefiting from the quality of modern professional cameras, time-lapse movie making is easy and efficient...

Are you a YouTube lover vying for attention? It might surprise you that, while very simple, time-lapse movies attract some of the most attention among different types of videos. Be it a blossoming flower, a crawling snail, or the panorama of a great sunset, life is full of beautiful things that can be captured with camLAPSE. Of course, camLAPSE is also great for surveillance.

With camLAPSE, your movie is yours to control. You can determine everything, from capture frequency to the frame rate of the completed movie. camLAPSE is your ultimate tool for time-lapse movie generation!

* As the captured quality could be too high, we added an option to LOWER the captured picture resolution or video quality for those old Macs.

features:
- USB & FireWire HD Webcam, iSight Cam, and DV video devices are all supported
- The capture interval can be freely set, from one second to 1000 hours
- Frames Per Second (fps) of the finished video can be set from 1 to 50
- Can save all your captured images in addition to generating the video
- If you set a long capture interval (30 seconds and above), camLAPSE will not hold your camera for that duration, meaning it is free to handle another task.
- will capture the highest image quality possible
- super-easy operation, step-by-step user guide included
