Hi Mike,

I use a simple (and cheap) actioncam Eken H9. It distorts at the edge, but correcting it with software afterwards is not making it better.
I tried normal speed and changing it, but it takes a lot of time and huge SD cards. My strategy is calculating how much frames I need and recording at time lapse.
Turns out that 2 seconds is perfect form my “working days” of 3 to 6 hours. This results in 5000 to 10.000 frames.
I copy them to my PC (I run Linux) and use several scripts (using ffmpeg) to convert the JPG’s to an MP4.
If you are interested I can share the scripts.
This results in very limited time spent in making video’s. I also like the real time vlog types better than the time lapse, but my goal is to record the build and not provide a video manual.
Sometimes I use real time, but every time it takes a lot of time to post produce.
Cheers,
Marcel

What camera are you using mainly for recording in the shop? Are you recording at regular speed, then later changing to time lapse to make the video shorter? I’m trying to figure out how best to record my build process. Thanks!
