Create time lapse movies for free with Gawker

by Stephen Embleton on Jun 15, 2008 at 08:56 PM

GawkerEver wondered how to create the time-lapse effect you might have seen on TV or YouTube? Wish you could present hours of a movie in just a few minutes? Well, Gawker lets you do just that.

Gawker is a useful piece of freeware you can download for your Mac. Using an external camera or your built-in iSight, you can start making time-lapse movies absolutely free. One of the neatest features of Gawker is the ability to share cameras connected to other computers on your home network, this allows you to view and record other people around the house and create time-lapse movies of them, too, provided they also have the Gawker application installed.

To create a time lapse movie, all you have to do is select a camera for use with the application and then configure how often you want Gawker to take a snapshot. Every 30 seconds is the preset amount. As you record the movie you can see what has been recorded so far using the “preview” option, and the finished movie is stored as a .mov file at any location you wish.

Gawker is available as a free download, weighing in at just 2.1MB.
