Image capture device for generating time-lapse videos

A method for generating time-lapse video frames using a dynamic time-lapse video frame rate, the method performed a computing system including one or more processors, the method comprising:

• storing visual content captured by an image capture device in a buffer for use in generating the time-lapse video frames, the visual content captured based on a value of a capture frame rate;
• generating the time-lapse video frames based on a first value of the dynamic time-lapse video frame rate, the dynamic time-lapse video frame rate defining a rate at which the time-lapse video frames are generated from the visual content stored in the buffer, the first value defining a first rate at which the time-lapse video frames are generated from the visual content stored in the buffer, the first value of the dynamic time-lapse video frame rate being different from the value of the capture frame rate;
• detecting activation of a trigger to change the dynamic time-lapse video frame rate during generation of the time-lapse video frames;
• responsive to the activation of the trigger, changing the dynamic time-lapse video frame rate in generating the time-lapse video frames from the first value to a second value defining a second rate different from the first rate, wherein responsive to the activation of the trigger, the dynamic time-lapse video frame rate alternates between the first value and the second value;
• and
• continuing to generate the time-lapse video frames from the visual content stored in the buffer based on the dynamic time-lapse video frame rate such that the time-lapse video frames include a first set of time-lapse video frames generated based on the first rate and a second set of time-lapse video frames generated based on the second rate.

A system for generating time-lapse video frames using a dynamic time-lapse video frame rate, the system comprising:

• a touchscreen display;
• and
• one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
• store visual content captured by an image capture device in a buffer for use in generating the time-lapse video frames, the visual content captured based on a value of a capture frame rate;
• present the visual content on the touchscreen display;
• generate the time-lapse video frames based on a first value of the dynamic time-lapse video frame rate, the dynamic time-lapse video frame rate defining a rate at which the time-lapse video frames are generated from the visual content stored in the buffer, the first value defining a first rate at which the time-lapse video frames are generated from the visual content stored in the buffer, the first value of the dynamic time-lapse video frame rate being different from the value of the capture frame rate, the value of the capture frame rate resulting in the visual content being captured at a faster rate than the first rate at which the time-lapse video frames are generated from the visual content stored in the buffer;
• detect activation of a trigger to change the dynamic time-lapse video frame rate during generation of the time-lapse video frames based on user interaction with the touchscreen display that is presenting the visual content;
• responsive to the activation of the trigger, change the dynamic time-lapse video frame rate in generating the time-lapse video frames from the first value to a second value defining a second rate different from the first rate, wherein responsive to the activation of the trigger, the dynamic time-lapse video frame rate alternates between the first value and the second value;
• and
• continue generating the time-lapse video frames from the visual content stored in the buffer based on the dynamic time-lapse video frame rate such that the time-lapse video frames include a first set of time-lapse video frames generated based on the first rate and a second set of time-lapse video frames generated based on the second rate.
