NightPro for GoPro

Run nightpro to automatically make nightlapse videos from your GoPro's nightlapse images.

Installation

pip3 install nightpro-for-gopro

Be sure to install ffmpeg as well.

Maunal Installation

Clone this repository, then run this from the repository's directory.

python3 setup.py install

Usage

Just run nightpro from the folder containing your nightlapse files. Nightpro will find all of the starter photos for the series and run ffmpeg on them. There are also several optional arguments that can be passed in.

nightpro -i <input_folder> -o <output_name> -s <size> -r <rate>

Argument	Optional	Description	Default
`input_folder`	yes	path to folder containing nightlapse photos	current folder (`.`)
`output_name`	yes	name of the video file to be created, names will have `-<starting photo number>.mp4` appened	`nightpro`
`size`	yes	size can be specified in `WxH` format	full size
`rate`	yes	framerate	`32`

ffmpeg

NightPro is a wrapper for this ffmpeg command, which turns a series of images into a timelapse video. Nightpro defaults much of this command and automatically finds the start numbers for you. That way to run the command below multiple times, you only have to run nightpro once.

ffmpeg -r 32 -start_number <number> -i ./<folder>/G00%d.JPG -vcodec libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p <name>.mp4

-vcodec libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p ensures compatability with Quicktime
