RuneLite Timelapse Creator

I’ve created an open-source tool that automatically creates timelapse videos from your RuneLite screenshots!

What It Does

If you play Old School RuneScape with RuneLite, you probably have hundreds (or thousands) of screenshots scattered across different folders. This tool:

• 📸 Automatically finds and sorts all your screenshots by timestamp
• 🎵 Adds background music (Sea Shanty 2 included!)
• 🔒 Blurs your chatbox to protect privacy
• ⚡ Uses GPU acceleration for fast encoding
• ⚙️ Fully customizable via .env configuration

Features

• Automatic screenshot discovery - Recursively scans all RuneLite screenshot folders
• Chronological sorting - Sorts by the timestamp in the filename
• Privacy protection - Configurable chatbox blurring
• Music support - Add background music with two playback modes
• GPU acceleration - Auto-detects NVIDIA/AMD/Intel GPUs for 5-10x faster encoding
• Smooth playback - Separate controls for screenshot pacing vs. video smoothness
• Quality control - Adjustable video quality/bitrate settings

Technical Details

Built with Python and FFmpeg, featuring:

• Environment-based configuration (.env files)
• Automatic GPU encoder detection with CPU fallback
• Configurable frame interpolation for smooth playback
• Support for variable screenshot rates while maintaining smooth video output
