Use Automator to create and upload a time lapse video to Flickr


Today’s announcement that Flickr now supports video got me to thinking about a tutorial I wrote recently and I decided to jazz it up a bit with some Flickr integration.

In one of my last appearances on The Lab with Leo Laporte, I explained how Automator could be used to create a simple time lapse video using your Mac’s built-in iSight camera. That was pretty cool on its own, but what if you could get Automator to get that video to your Flickr Photostream somehow? You can and it’s pretty cool!

Check out the new and improved tutorial!

Note:Thanks to Ryan Yewell for giving me the time lapse video idea!

Build Your Own $50 Apple TV

The Apple TV is a truly cool product, if you have a widescreen TV. But what if you don’t have a TV that supports component/HDMI inputs or 480p? Suddenly this $300 product end up costing you $1200+.

If you have $50 and a Mac mini then you can make one of your own that will play just fine with your older TV. And this one will play your DVDs and DivX files too. Don’t have a spare mini? We got options for you too.

Read about it in our Mini Media Mac tutorial.
