Abstract
An image capture device may capture visual content based on a time-lapse video frame rate. Audio content may be captured along with the visual content based on the time-lapse video frame rate being a target time-lapse video frame rate. Capture of the audio content may be stopped based on the time-lapse video frame rate being different from the target time-lapse video frame rate.
Claims20
A system for generating time-lapse videos, the system comprising:
- an image sensor configured to generate a visual output signal conveying visual information based on light that becomes incident thereon, the visual information defining visual content;
- an optical element configured to guide light within a field of view to the image sensor;
- a sound sensor configured to generate a sound output signal conveying audio information based on sound received by the sound sensor, the audio information defining audio content;
- and
- one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
- capture the visual content during a visual capture duration based on a time-lapse video frame rate, the time-lapse video frame rate defining a rate at which the visual content is captured as time-lapse video frames based on the visual output signal;
- determine change in the time-lapse video frame rate during the visual capture duration;
- responsive to the time-lapse video frame rate changing into a target time-lapse video frame rate, start capture of the audio content;
- responsive to the time-lapse video frame rate changing from the target time-lapse video frame rate to a different time-lapse video frame rate;
- stop the capture of the audio content;
- and
- generate video content of a time-lapse video, the video content including the captured visual content and the captured audio content.
A method for generating time-lapse videos, the method performed by a computing system including one or more processors, an image sensor, an optical element, and a sound sensor, the image sensor configured to generate a visual output signal conveying visual information based on light that becomes incident thereon, the visual information defining visual content, the optical element configured to guide light within a field of view to the image sensor, the sound sensor configured to generate a sound output signal conveying audio information based on sound received by the sound sensor, the audio information defining audio content, the method comprising:
- capturing the visual content during a visual capture duration based on a time-lapse video frame rate, the time-lapse video frame rate defining a rate at which the visual content is captured as time-lapse video frames based on the visual output signal,
- determining change in the time-lapse video frame rate during the visual capture duration;
- responsive to the time-lapse video frame rate changing into a target time-lapse video frame rate, starting the capture of the audio content;
- responsive to the time-lapse video frame rate changing from the target time-lapse video frame rate to a different time-lapse video frame rate, stopping the capture of the audio content;
- and
- generating video content of a time-lapse video, the video content including the captured visual content and the captured audio content.

- determine change in the time-lapse video frame rate during the visual capture duration;
- responsive to the time-lapse video frame rate changing into a target time-lapse video frame rate, start capture of the audio content, wherein the target time-lapse video frame rate is same as a visual content playback rate, the visual content playback rate defining a rate at which the visual content is presented on playback;
- responsive to the time-lapse video frame rate changing from the target time-lapse video frame rate to a different time-lapse video frame rate, stop the capture of the audio content;
- and
- generate video content of a time-lapse video, the video content including the captured visual content and the captured audio content.
