you can do video editing in blender? I thought that was a 3d editor...
and nope, never made a video of anything in my life, not even of the cat using my smartphone.

And just out of interest, has anyone else tried doing that and if so, what software do you use to record/edit?

OBS for recording: obsproject.com/
DaVinci Resolve for editing: www.blackmagicdesign.com/uk/products/davinciresolve/

You could also look at HitFilm express for editing: fxhome.com/express

All of them are free.

Thank you Banj, I shall check those out. Although google tells me that OBS doesn't automatically do timelapse, you have to manually speed it up in editing. That's the thing I liked about Cafe Recorder, it does all that for you in a one-click way, it just saves in an odd format. But those different editing options may indeed help with that!

And yes, Charlotte, Blender does have video editing functions, I often use it for little clips. And now you've made me want to see a video of your cat!

I'm not sure how to shoot the video when the cat holds the phone...

Google is correct, it is designed for live streaming and/or recording in real time. Time remapping is pretty simple in Resolve though if you want to speed up your recording.

did you make any videos Banj? Since you know what to use and all... Can't recall anything but the stuff you did for the nexus and that wasn't actually recording stuff was it? (My memory is terrible. Maybe I saw Sucker Punch too, but I can't recall that I did...)

I haven't any videos of me painting if that's what you mean.

aw. I liked seeing Valence paint. Maybe we should all try to add some videos
Not that I have any of the software needed. And I seem to spend most my time under water currently...

It's something I've been thinking about doing.

good! keep thinking! or rather... er.. stop thinking and start doing
