I’ve been looking for a piece of free time lapse photography software for a while now and finally found Perios. Perios is a tiny download and very, very simple to use.
For my first movie I set the software to record one frame every five seconds but I feel I need to continue experimenting for improved results. Once the software captures all the still pics you have to export them as a movie file. I then added all the credits and music in Movie Maker. Too easy!!!
The only hassle I had with the software was trying to get it to work with a webcam. I eventually just stuck with the built in camera in my laptop.
Possible Time Lapse Subjects
- flower blooming / plant growth
- spider spinning a web
- tracking shadow movement throughout a day
- artwork being made
- a classic game of chess
- the classroom working
- lego construction
- snail race
- decomposing fruit
- butterfly hatching
- traffic outside your window for surveys
- is the movement of the lunchtime crowd fractal?
- fill up and ant farm and record tunnel creation
- growing of crystals
- your fish tank
- clouds across the sky / storm coming
Feel free to add possible uses to my list.

PS Just did a search for time lapse on You Tube and had a chuckle at this Nascargot

Some digital still cameras do this too now… well at least my little Canon Ixus does.
Hey Ad,
Love the time lapse, and yes I do love watching a man do a woman’s work, although it is taking all of my concentration not to make snide remarks about how short the vid would be if it was of a woman achieving the same thing!!!! Nah, only joking, you look like you are well practiced, even vacuumed under the couch I noticed! Better than I would have done.
As for time lapse photography, as is often the case with new ideas you give me my mind boggles with the opportunities it could provide. I look forward to experimenting with it myself!
