How to make your own timelapse. Assumption: you have downloaded multiple twitch videos or other recorded videos of you making the game. Video editors tend to choke on resizing huge videos or limit you in how much you can speed a video up, so we will use ffmpeg first
download ffmpeg and add it to your path: https://ffmpeg.org/download.html (ref: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/how-to-install-ffmpeg-on-windows-10)
combine videos - ffmpeg, with option #2 - (ref: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7333232/how-to-concatenate-two-mp4-files-using-ffmpeg)
- make a file called list.txt
- add each video name on a new line with the word file before it like this:
file day1.mp4 file day2.mp4 file day3.mp4 - ffmpeg -safe 0 -f concat -i list.txt -c copy output.mp4
speed up video - ffmpeg - (ref: https://superuser.com/questions/1261678/how-do-i-speed-up-a-video-by-60x-in-ffmpeg)
- I think I used this for an 18 hr video, afaik 60 is how many times faster so /2 would be twice as fast
- ffmpeg -i output.mp4 -filter:v "setpts=PTS/60" timelapse.mp4 -an
modify final speed - davinci resolve (it's free - https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/)
- drag clip into timeline in edit mode (3rd tab at bottom)
- right click clip and use change speed to your liking
- go to rocket tab (last tab on right) at bottom to export.
Where is grandma's handbag? In the video of course.
