about
This type of timerlapse (some call it a drivelapse) is something I've always wanted to try but never got around to creating one. The actual timelapse is from the 10sec mark to the 46sec mark, after this I describe how I created this on my Linux Mint machine.
This is a BASH script update where I've added some help lines at the end of the script.
thoughts
A drivelapse would be more suited to a longish country road ride, driving in a suburb or city makes the resulting video a bit too cluttered.
I need a new microphone!!

Bash Script (3002.txt):
https://mega.nz/#!LMsyiChJ!1NxZREiISKChKtPPuc4yFp5ZZ6ct2l4v_N1v7jydQjk
- rename 3002.txt to 3002.sh
- move 3002.sh into /bin/ folder
- open terminal in /bin/ folder as root
- in terminal type chmod +x 3002.sh
- PS this didn't work for me, therefore I right clicked an 3002.sh then changed the properties/permissions and made it executable
- you may get further errors due to missing external programs, run these next lines in the terminal
- sudo apt install mencoder
- sudo apt install imagemagick-6.q16
- if all is well, type 3002.sh in any folder that contains your sequential images
- on some linux distros I had to
-> type
sudo 3002.sh
**ATTENTION**
I've just noticed my script only works on .JPG file extension, there is 3 ways to resolve this problem
1. (
Best) use the bash script to recognize the extension (jpg JPG jpeg png bmp etc) then continuing to process the timelapse as per normal taking into account the image extension.
2. (
Terrible but all my cameras do this) Only use cameras that output .JPG files LoL.
3. (
for .jpg only) in terminal type ->
rename 's/.jpg/ .JPG/' *
My Huawei P8lite creates .jpg images so when I get to update the script for option 1, option 3 will do for now.
