Build a movie from jpeg images in Swift using AVFoundation

TimeLapseBuilder

This is a reference implementation for building time lapse videos from still images using Swift.

The sample app runs on iOS, but the TimeLapseBuilder class can be easily ported to run on macOS.

Getting started

1. Clone this repository
2. Open TimeLapseBuilder.xcodeproj with Xcode 8
3. Have a look at ViewController.swift and TimeLapseBuilder.swift
4. If you provide some URLs in ViewController.swift and run the app in the simulator, it will build a video and output its location in the console.

• A very helpful starter project would be for someone to improve ViewController so that it plays the video in an AVPlayerViewController once it's ready.

If you need help adapting this code to use in your app, I recommend posting your questions on Stack Overflow. Please open an issue if you find a bug.

Legacy Swift

Older versions of TimeLapseBuilder are available for Swift 1.2 and 2.0. Check out the Legacy/ directory.

Notables

• @seanmcneil has built a Cocoapod called Spitfire based on this code.
• Various contributors have helped to fix bugs and port this code to newer versions of Swift. You can find their comments and code on the original gist.
