Select Movies from the Control Panel popup menu.
Select Time-Lapse or Stop Motion from the Movie Type popup menu.
Select the Create an image sequence instead of a movie option.
The selected movie type, Time-Lapse or Stop Motion, will record the same except instead of creating a QuickTime movie, images will be created.
The image sequence will be saved in a folder with a prefix of ImageSeq followed by a time stamp. This image sequence folder will be saved in the directory specified in the Snapshot Preference panel.
The image sequence files will not be added to the Snapshot Clips or the Movie Clips control panel.
The image sequence can be used later to make a movie or post-process with custom special effects.
Note: If your computer goes to sleep while recording the current image sequence it will stop recording.
