Screen capture on Mac?
Quick question for any Mac users.
Is there any software that can take a desktop screenshot at regular intervals (once per minute?) and save it to a folder? I would like to do a timelapse, but recording a video file over two days seems a bit too risky.

You could improve the naming convention, but running the following as a Ruby script will do:

Oh, and you’d probably want to sleep 60 seconds, not 1.

Or you could just use cron or launchd to run that screencapture command every minute.

Ah, thanks for the responses… but I’m not really sure how to run Ruby scripts on the mac, nor how to run cron jobs on my mac. Sorry! o_o;

how about applescript?

Ah, the applescript almost works… but only saves one screen! D: I can’t seem to figure out how to fix that.

Or you could use Automator.

Ah, I managed to find a program called InstantShot that works for me. I run two instances of it, and each one is set to take a screenshot of a different monitor once per minute.
