Hi i'm a little confused here,

I've downloaded the FFMPEG software but i dont know which path to put into the "Path to FFMPEG" space to make a timelapse.

But i dont know what to put here:

Good that it works now :slight_smile:
I guess you haven't run .configure and make after you unzipped the downloaded ffmpeg so there was no binary. Here is a guide on how to compile ffmpeg if you need it in the future

Pls mark this thread as solved so other people know you got the solution :wink:
