A Max patch for creating time-lapse movies.

Like the Lunchbox, the patch can work with whatever a computer can capture: HDMI, HDV, DV, etc. The patch can "flip-flop" or "onionskin" between the video feed and the last frame captured.

The patch names all of the captured video feed stills with a timestamp, making for easy organization in After Effects, Final Cut Pro, etc. The patch can also communicate with a DSLR through custom hardware.

A timestamp on the very small video feed stills makes for easy substitution with very large and correspondingly camera-timestamped DSLR raw files. The in other words, the video feed can act like a video tap on a film camera.
