asl

The Auto Screen-lapse Tool

Introduction

asl is a resource-inexpensive way to create timelapses from your screen. It takes screenshots at intervals (asl) and uses ffmpeg to convert them into a video (asl-timelapse), optionally archiving them

Installation

Just pip install asl_screenlapse

How to use

Daemonization is flexible. Run asl at bootup, with DE Autostart, WM config, systemd service, etc. It will take screenshots in $HOME/asl-scrots at intervals, but if more than a certain time passes between them (i.e. different boot), it will create a new numbered folder.

Whenever you want, run asl-timelapse to create timelapses in $HOME/asl-summaries, named according to folder number and in the WEBM format.
