Timelapse

[morgan_moore]

Probably the oldest ask in the book.

Good timelapse software for PC (not premier!)

Also tried loading into resolve and got media offline after 20 frames. Tried resaving as tiff and various other tricks - always 'media offline'

Then tried 'timelapse tool' and all was good.

Whay is resolve failing?

Hello Morgan, this is how I make timelapse in Resolve. (normally my panasonic GH7 does this automatically).

Save your photo's as jpeg. In preferences make lenght/duration stills: 1 frame. Grab all the stills you want and put them on your timeline. Done!

Media offline can have other causes. (clear your cache).

And yes these are contrails, costing us millions (farmers with less crops, solar-industry) and contribute to global warming. Per farmer that can be up to 10.000 euro per year on lost crop.

I know how to do a timelapse in DR16 - its the media offline thing that is popping up.

How do I clear cashe?

Thanks

that doesnt seem to help

Hi Morgan,

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound pedantic with the timelapse. But I didn't know what you know or don't know

I had problems with Davinci like 'media offline' and other odd behavior. It helped to update the video driver. That solved most problems. See minimal configuration guide for the required driver (for PC that is). Latest NVIDEA driver.

I found this on Blackmagic forum.

A lot to dig through on the BM forum.

I updated my geoforce nvidia thing - not that I know what it is apart from a load of ads for Call Of Duty (Ive never played a computer game or since 1984 anyway)

no luck

Well at least your PC is now ready for version 17

ffmpeg is another option. Here is an article on that approach https://medium.com/@sekhar.rahul/cr...-on-the-command-line-with-ffmpeg-1a7566caf877

J Michael.

I ignored your post - hunted around the web and slowly came to FFmpeg.

Which is looking good - I can probably now understantd the article

after 5 mins of playing Ive got quite far

Pi camera jpeg stream -> ffmpeg -> resolve optical flow

And a loop?

 

[morgan_moore]

Yep it’s looped - doing frames all night tonight

The resolve mystery is sorted.

I managed to name my fliles..

0001.jpg -> 0009.jpg ->00010.jpg ->00011.jpg

What you may notice is that Ive not correctly managed the quantity of zeros in the file name. This broke resolve (but not some others) - when files are named properly resolve works propery
