timelapsify

A Ruby Gem for taking and making timelapses.

Installation

Timelapsify is hosted for your pleasure on RubyGems. You can install it like this:

$ gem install timelapsify

If you're looking to get the development environment set up for yourself, you can clone the repository, then run the following commands to install it locally:

$ cd /path/to/cloned/timelapsify
$ bundle install
$ gem build timelapsify.gemspec
$ gem install --local timelapsify-*.gem

If you happen to encounter any problems with the installation, they're likely due to your personal setup, though you're welcome to open an Issue about it.

Internals

Timelapsify uses RMagick and a variety of other programs to capture screenshots. These screenshots are then stitched together to create a video file.

Contributing

Support for other screenshot capturing programs and other such things would be greatly appreciated as a pull request. If you have an idea, feel free to fork this repository and add support for other systems.
