A collection of simple scripts for making timelapse videos set to music
Make sure you have avconv and mp3info installed (apt-get install avconv mp3info
)
./watchmecode.sh /path/to/video/file.mpg /path/to/audio/file.mp3
This will make a video called done.mp4
in the current directory.
This has not been thoroughly tested at all, only on Ubuntu
I have no horses in this race, but since Ubuntu 14.04 doesn't have ffmpeg
packages by default, I just use avconv
instead of ffmpeg
.
If you do want to use ffmpeg instead of avconv, go ahead and install ffmpeg
and modify the backend
file to specify ffmpeg instead of avconv.
It's hacky, but whatever.
See videos made with WatchMeCode, and post your own to the wiki.

Except for mmcat
