The Auto Screen-lapse Tool

Introduction

asl is a resource-inexpensive way to create timelapses from your screen. It takes screenshots at intervals (asl.py) and uses ffmpeg to convert them into a video (timelapse.py), optionally archiving them

How to use

Run asl.py at bootup, with a cronjob, Autostart, etc. It will take screenshots at intervals, but if more than a certaing time is between them (i.e. different session), asl will create a new numbered folder. Whenever you want, run timelapse.py to create timelapses.

Todo

• Install scripts
• Configuration in .ini format
• Make it available on the PyPI
• Cross platform - using ffmpeg bindings rather than os.system()
• Tests, i.e. example pictures
• PEP compliance, SLOC limit (for contributors)
• Automatic archive zipping
• Timelapse from archive
