Is there an easy to use one for mac? I'm getting fed up of having piddle easy thing to do that cannot be accomplished in any software I already own. It's one ****ing while loop that would step through a video file frame by frame comparing current to last frame and saving only the different ones. It is so simple I cannot understand why no video software offers this capability.

Is there a a perl library or a quicktime api or both somewhere??

Only thing close to I have found is a script for adobe after effects. Sledgehammer for a peanut.

I did try using the web cam software export function but that balked once I got to 65555 individual frames. Stupid thing has taken each frame and multiplied each by 350... It's irrational. I don't know why anyone would take timelapse frames and keep them real time and want the software to pad with duplicates. You'd want 1 frame per capture! Maybe up to 5 max if you wanted to slow it down a bit. That seems to be using the quicktime api as the list of video outputs available seems to be identical.
