pip install -r requirements.txt
If you intend to use online image storage, setup your AWS environment to allow programmatic S3 access on your machine.
Then:
python aws_setup_init.py
This file creates a new bucket on S3 and saves the name of the newly created bucket.
Usage: screenlapse-capture.py [-t secs] [-o] [-m]
Captures screenshots on your machine every t seconds. Uploads them to the preconfigured S3 bucket, or stores them in data/img/ if running in offline mode.
Optional arguments:
-t secs, --time secs Number of seconds between screenshots. Default is 3
-o, --offline Use filesystem for image storage instead of S3
-m, --multi Take multi-monitor screenshots
If you're uploading to S3, screenshots are organised into folders, with the folder name being the unix timestamp of when the current screenshot capture session first started. When downloading images (see next step), first find the folder on the S3 console, and then use this folder name as the session_key when you call screenlapse-download.py.
Usage: python screenlapse-download.py session_key
Downloads images from the specified S3 location into data/img/. Exits if this folder already exists.
Positional arguments:
session_key The session key (ie. folder name in S3) to download images from
Usage: python screenlapse-convert.py
Converts the images in data/img/ into a 10fps mp4 video. Images are ordered by their last modified date.
