Time Lapse Assembler For Mac

Time Lapse Assembler is a simple, clean and intuitive Mac OS X application that helps you render time-lapse videos using a sequence of images.

Time-lapse photography is a well-known technique where the movie frame are captured at a much lower rate than used to display the image sequence. Consequently, when played at normal frame rate, the time in the footage appears to be moving faster than normal.

After capturing the necessary sequence of pictures, you need to transfer them to your Mac’s hard disk in order to load them in Time Lapse Assembler and render a time-lapse video.

From Time Lapse Assembler’s user-friendly interface, you’ll be able to easily select the source directory containing the sequentially named JPEG files. Moreover, you can change the video codec used to encode the video and select between h.264, MP4V, RAW and photo-JPEG.

On top of that, Time Lapse Assembler helps you resize the output video to the desired video resolution, or to any other resolution by simply toggling the “Scale proportionally” option. Thus, you can manually type in the values for the desired output resolution before initiating the encoding process.

Moreover, Time Lapse Assembler offers four different quality settings for the generated movie and, as follows, you can choose between Max, High, Normal and Low based on the purpose of the video. You also have the option to set the frame rate value anywhere between 0.1 and 60 FPS.

It is worth mentioning that Time Lapse Assembler requires a Intel-based Mac with Quicktime 7.2.1 or later installed. You also need to make sure that all images from the source folder are all the same size  in order to obtain a high-quality video.
