Timelapse export mode

[masc4ii]

Can we make Time-Lapse export mode?

I shot MLV video @ 6 FPS and I don't want to render and process all the frames which are 6895 and size of 29.5 GB then speed it up in editing software I want to export 1 Frame after every 25 Frames for example or 1 Frame after 50 Frames this is changeable choice depending on the Time-Lapse speed you want but you got the Idea.

Would be cool. Then you have to increment the frame by factor you need. I guess it's gonna be easily doable. Or am I wrong? This way even playback preview can be done.

I dig this idea big time...

Right... we just need a variable which is accessable from export settings - something like "Timelapse skip frames [xx frames]". And in export we increment the frames with i=i+1+variable instead of i++.

I think this variable should affect playback too. For previewing whats the result gonna be.

Yeah... think so too... but that's difficult! :-/

There are more idea's by a1ex for this topic: "180-degree averaging, instead of skipping". But because of performance reasons, this would be export only then:

We can do both, skipping or averaging.
