Hi guys,
I am a bit behind on writing script so I'm seeking help. Can anyone help me write a script where I can record a clip precisely for certain amount of time. Like segments of 1s, or 2s, or 5s, or 15s, or 30s, or a minute, or 10 minutes. The reason I want this feature is because I want to try if I can make a hyperlapse via FPSOverride.
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

@title Let's record!
@param n seconds
@range n 1 600

movie_start();                                 
sleep(n); 
movie_end();   


Picoc won't be very precise.
Script not tested.

Works flawlessly in normal recording mate. I can't thank you enough :). I will test out with FPSOverride.

edit: I struggle to do the math for FPSOverride, I was testing 3FPS running the script for 24s, resulted in 3s of recording o.o

what if you set 192 sec to have 24 real?

That's correct. I am trying to understand FPSOverride better. I am newly introduced to this feature.. I will post another help thread in the right subforum.
Thanks!
