This is my hydroponic setup. New seeds were planted a day before the recording of the time lapse started. I will to remove the giant kale trunk when seedlings will be strong enough to survive the lights.
An old Canon T2i is connected to a power supply instead of the battery. It starts with the lights timer.
Magiclantern's firmware intervalometer is used to capture an image every 2 minutes. The short version skips 10 frames, using images taken at a 20 minute interval. The long version uses all frames.
All pictures are glued together at 60fps using ffmpeg and following youtube's recommended settings
/usr/bin/ffmpeg -pattern_type glob -i 'hydro_timelapse/IMG_*.JPG' \
-framerate 60 -bf 2 -pix_fmt yuv420p -coder 1 -vcodec libx264 \
-movflags +faststart -g 30 -vf "transpose=2,transpose=2" -crf 18 \
-profile:v high hydro_all_20180401.mp4
This video is 10x. Here is the long version of the first 30 days: https://youtu.be/ZFtHVucG3Lw
The camera is still there. I will post updates with a longer video!
