Make a Webcam Time-Lapse. EmailEmail Since I began making time lapse videos, I’ve occasionally come across a high quality webcam feed on the internet and thought that it would make a great time lapse video.
It’s basically the same setup that I use; a camera set to record some interesting and dynamic subject at timed intervals. Sometimes the webcam even has its own time lapse video, but usually it doesn’t. Over the last month, I’ve been experimenting with different webcam capture software that’s available on the internet. Today’s post is a quick tutorial that uses only free software. Download webcam capture software. MathPickle. Lightworks. HandBrake.

After consideration and consultation with Gary Kern, Director Of Technology for the West Vancouver School District, it was determined that a 1:1 initiative made the most sense. Whereas in the past it was a common approach to make available a class set of devices that students would access for the block, our staff felt that a more holistic integration was required.
