Setting up Time Lapse Recording

To record long periods with little change, you can use the Time-lapse feature. With Time-lapse you can capture the desktop at a slower frame rate and play back at a faster frame rate.

For example, you want to capture your screen for a long period of time. However, you don't expect frequent changes to the state of the screen. Continuous recording would capture a lot of unnecessary footage and the changes to the screen would be too slow to notice when playing back later. With the Time-lapse feature in place, you can capture frames after predefined time intervals (for instance, one frame every minute) and play back the recordings at a faster rate, to give the impression that the changes were faster than they really were. This will save time, it will be easier to see the changes.

NOTE: Audio recording will not be carried out during Time-lapse recording.

1. On the Tools menu, click on Settings.
2. Select the AVI Video tab.
3. Select the Time-lapse option, and click on Time-lapse Setup.
4. Specify the Recording rate in frames per second.
5. Specify the Playback rate in frames per second.
