I'm building the imaging payload for an amateur high altitude balloon that will fly in August - with a pair of A550's.
What I would like to do is write a script that will work on roughly, a 2 minute loop.
Top of the first minute, do a 30 second movie
Then, top of the second minute, start a series of 8 stills at 5s intervals - possibly with bracketing +/- 2ev to ensure good coverage of the fairly dynamic scene you get at 50, 60, 80, 100,000 ft.
This, tied to the chaotic motion of the payload - should give us both movies to visualise how much the thing is moving around, and then a cluster of stills from which we can produce mosaics.
Before I set out to write the script - I just need to know, is it possible to have one script running on loop that can take both movies and stills? Also - most of the scripts I've sen written here us variables to make an adaptable and customisable script. That's just a 'nice' feature, right, there's no actual need to do that - one could just hard-code the whole thing in.
Any help and pointers much appreciated.
Doug
