(per User:Sethwoodworth#Stop-motion)
- I was just thinking of something similar the other day. "xoWebcam" -- Linux 'xawtv'/webcam package sugarized w/GUI. It's got frame capture capabilities built in, with total control of 'motion activated' and sequencing. Just need to find a good/lite package for putting frames into a movie format :-) ( 01:29, 16 January 2008 (EST))
Notes
- How difficult to install xawtv (footprint?)
- Note: Not difficult to install, see xawtv notes. -- 2/17/2008
- Some fonts are missing, preventing startup. . .
- How difficult to install motion (footprint/issues?)
- can call from Sugar ?
- Put entries in crontab for capture ?
- Can run it without Activity active ? (if so, what happens in conflict of Record?)
