Time-sensitive question: Manually setting target run-time - images@jerryandlois.com - 2024-10-17

I'm brand new to LRTimeLapse (installed on my Win11 machine yesterday), but haven't been able to find a question to a simple question.

I have an extremely simple timelapse I need to generate. About 2350 frames, all with the camera locked down (not moving), lighting also locked down.

My commercial client needs a time-lapse of the build-up of a cabinet with a set of rack blade servers being physically installed, and then cabled up.

The shoot time was about 5 hours. After weeding out "dead air" (people taking a break, while the camera was still clicking away), I've ended up with about 2350 frames.

The client is hoping for a MP4 that runs about a minute.

Is it possible to control the final run-time of the video that gets generated? Or is each still image locked in to a 1:1 frame rate (if the output is 30 fps, that translates into 30 still images producing 30 video frames)?

Thank you for your help!
Jerry

Again, best do such fine tuning in the video editor.
In LRTimelapse you can only roughly control the speed in the render dialog to 2, 1/2 etc.
