Always remember this as you could end up with a mess of sorting out thousands of pictures to rescue your videos!Ĭhronolapse has a built in encoder to convert your screenshots into a video. Chronolapse will automatically use the folder that was used, the last time you used Chronolapse. Otherwise you'll have a really mixed up video of you working on 2 or more different paintings. Keep different folders for different paintings. Remember that if you want to work on 2 different paintings, you will need to save the screenshots from Chronolapse in a different area. If you want to come back to it later and work on it just open up your painting and Chronolapse, Hit "Start Capture", minimize it, and go to work. When you are done (or want to stop painting for the day and come back to it) just pull Chronolapse buck up and click the "Stop Capture" button. When you are ready to record just hit the "Start Capture" button, minimize Chronolapse and go to work. Make sure the box next to "Screenshots" is checked. The more screenshots you have the longer your video will be(which we can also change in blender). The shorter you set it the more often a screenshot will be taken and vice versa. I usually stick with anywhere between 2 and 4. You should only have the main window of Chronolapse up now. Navigate to the folder you want to use and and click "Ok" at the bottom. This is where you'll choose the folder that you want to save your screenshots in. Near the bottom of the window that pops up, there is a "Save Folder:" option. To set Chronolapse up first, next to the "Screenshots" checkbox click configure. Then it saves and numbers those screenshots in a folder that you specify. But what it does is it takes a screenshot every few seconds(you can set how many seconds). Its a really simple program and its pretty self explanatory. Second you'll need Blender (Download here: ).Ĭhronolapse is the program you will use to "Record" Your work. First you'll need Chronolapse (Download here: /p/chronolapse/… ). Ok we are going to need 2 different programs. But who wants to pay when it can be done for free? There are probably much better and easier paid ways to do this with a program like Camtasia or Fraps.
