How can I make a time lapse video?

[What Zitt Tooya]

As the title says, however is there one that allows me to place the camera in a static spot(s) so you can watch the city being built without having to follow the default follow camera?

I think there are specialized programs that can record your games for you; though I've never used one and as far as I know, they can't capture anything that isn't inside your screen view.

An alternative would be to periodically zoom as far out of the city as you can get, perhaps even go into the city tile purchase mode and take snap shots. Do it regularly, say; every 10 minutes to half an hour and you'd quickly build up that video you wanted. I'm pritty sure that's just about the only way to do exactly what you're asking.

1. You would need a screen recording program to capture video. There are quite a few out there, also AMD gaming evolved has a Plays.Tv feature to record (if u have amd card)

2. Secondarily, you need a video editing program ( for example: windows movie maker, Quick Time player, avs media, adobe after effects, u can even use Photoshop) to edit captured video fps speed and then render it out at web compatible fps and web encoded video formats (h264, mpeg, flash/shockwave video), and then you can upload to web. Optimal web fps is 12-15fps, but no higher than 30fps.

I think what you have done here is hijack someone else’s thread. Just the same, the mod is working unless you have a mod conflict. The control instructions are below(taken from the mod page itself).

DESCRIPTION
Camera Additions adds some features to the default game camera.

Features:

Hold RMB: SCROLL!
CTRL + SHIFT + O: Disable & enable scrolling
CTRL + SHIFT + I: Invert camera scroll direction
CTRL + SHIFT + 0-9: Save a camera position
CTRL + 0-9: Move to a saved camera position
Holding CTRL, ALT or SHIFT: Stop scrolling (usefull when zoning)

The scrolling sensivity can be changed by adjusting the ingame value of "Edge Scrolling Sensitivity" in the game options.


Note on camera positions:

The camera positions are saved per city name (the text you've entered at the new game creation screen). So having two save games with the same city names will result in the "same" configuration.
