How I create simple time lapse videos on Windows PCs

Hey, PCWorld readers! I’ve been fascinated by time lapse videos ever since I saw the video effect used on a bean-sprout growing in second grade class.

Being able to condense days of growth into a short video that I could watch in just a minute seemed like magic to me. What’s more, it opened my mind to something about plants that you just can’t see every day — the fact that they’re not just inanimate things. They can move just like us (albeit a lot more slowly).

The great thing...
