Time lapse feature
I have a few Ring stick-up cam’s (battery) and I’m hoping this .gif comes through properly, but what I would love to see is a feature where you can set up the camera to take screenshots and then store them in a folder where you can later compile them into animated .gif’s. It’s really an awesome capability and you could totally brag that up as one of the cool features of Ring. I love the system, I don’t know how else to get this .gif for you to see. The way I did this one is I took a screenshot every day for a month and them combined them into a .gif. If Ring built this feature in, you could set up your timelapse how you wanted and have it done automatically. Imagine setting one up where someone was building a house or overhauling a car? The ramifications are pretty awesome.

I’d also like to be able to apply filters for downloading. For example, I’d like to be able to download only Motion Events between May 17 3:40 pm to May 24 11:30 am, or download only Captured Snapshots between May 12 2:40 pm to May 25 8:30 am.

SAgreed. We need the ability to select multiple video clips and download them in one batch. Even better if there was an option to concatenate them (although not necessary).

CAn option to concatenate the Snapshot Captures is really a MUST! Right now when I download snapshots (30 sec frequency) to my iPad’s Photos app, they are concatenated into a 15 sec. video covering a 15 min. timeframe. Just a day’s worth would be 96 video clips. Concatenating up to a 24 hour timeframe would make one manageable 24 minute video clip. In that the resolution for snapshot clips is unfortunately only 640 x 360, the file size would still be very small.

B@ CappyNear … I really like the new “Snap Capture” but I haven’t figured out how to download the snaps that are taken. I’ve only figured out how to view them. How did you download the Snaps? Plus I really really like your idea to have an option to concatenate these snaps into a downloadable video!!!

It would be awesome if we could download a “time lapse” video from the pictures taken between recorded events. Ive had many beautiful sunrises taken with these pictures, and no way to download a video!

It would be great if we could specify intervals for a camera and have snapshots saved in interval folders to create Time-lapse videos/animated gifs. Or just be able to specify a time frame to save snapshots and have software to create a from-to/interval video. I love the views I get from a few of my cameras and it would be fun to do something with them beyond security.

This would be really cool, I have a spotlight cam on my back garden and a time lapse video of the garden over a year or six month would show the seasons changing and how much the garden has changed

I’d like to use my ring camera to shoot a timelapse video of a construction site under my window. I set up my device to take a snapshot as frequently as possible (I think it is every 15 minutes or so) and was very disappointed to find out there is no way to even download the images in bulk (never-mind as a timelapse video). There is also no way to filter the timeline for only snapshots. It is such a glaring omission that I wonder if it is intentional to discourage this usage scenario (although I can’t see a reason why it would be).

It would be cool if I could take a week/month/year and create an automatic time lapse video. There is construction behind my house and it would be cool if I could create a video of the progress over the last few months to a year.
