How to install PhantomJS on Ubuntu

Version: 1.9.8

Platform: x86_64

First, install or update to the latest system software.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential chrpath libssl-dev libxft-dev

2. The unit runs with the user so create the unit and timer under $HOME/.config/systemd/user/
3. Enable the timer only (systemctl enable --user --now update-user-flatpaks.timer)
4. Flatpaks will update automatically daily, if an update missed - cause the box was off for instance - it will try it again as soon as it can run again.

Contents of update-user-flatpaks.service:

[Unit]
Description=Update user Flatpaks

Convert sequence of JPEG images to MP4 video

ffmpeg -r 24 -pattern_type glob -i '*.JPG' -i DSC_%04d.JPG -s hd1080 -vcodec libx264 timelapse.mp4

• -r 24 - output frame rate
• -pattern_type glob -i '*.JPG' - all JPG files in the current directory
• -i DSC_%04d.JPG - e.g. DSC_0397.JPG
• -s hd1080 - 1920x1080 resolution

Slower, better quality
