- Had to modify ffmpeg command
You must be logged in to reply.
I installed ffmpeg 0.6. When I tried the commandffmpeg -f image2 %05d.jpg lapse.mpegI got the error message "At least one input file must be specified". Butffmpeg -f image2 -i %05d.jpg lapse.mpegworked fine.
Thanks for this article. One of my coworkers needs to make a movie from a collection of images. Now that I know about ffmpeg, it will save us from having to purchase Photoshop.Posted by SSteve on September 07, 2010 at 08:21:28 Pacific Time

Hi, I am having problems with snapping a frame. When I put the command into terminal all it came up with was:
-bash: /Applications/isightcapture~/test.jpg: No such file or directory
Please help me!

@Louque:
/Applications/isightcapture should reflect where the isightcapture script is placed on your computerPosted by 14nicholasse on August 08, 2010 at 13:56:00 Pacific Time

Hi,
use the full path name rather then the tilde (~) you'll have better luck getting it to work. Once it's working yopu can mess around with the path= commandPosted by labenskit on October 07, 2010 at 16:53:37 Pacific Time

hi david,
seems like an error copying the script. did you copy & paste the whole text here: http://makezine.com/images/23/timelapse.rb ?
if it still doesn't work, could you paste your script here?Posted by niryariv on July 31, 2010 at 07:52:16 Pacific Time

Hi,
you're problem is that the file is in rich text format.
edit it in vi and remove everything that doesn't belong then save it with the rb extentionPosted by labenskit on October 07, 2010 at 16:51:16 Pacific Time
