Timelapse creator

A pair of scripts for creating timelapse videos of your OSX desktop

To install:

$ mkdir ~/Desktop/caps
$ cd ~/Desktop/caps
$ git clone <this_repo> caps
$ crontab cap.crontab

To create timelapse video from screencaps:

$ cd ~/Desktop/caps
$ ./make_video

To uninstall:

$ crontab -r
$ rm -rf ~/Desktop/caps
