Capture the magic of your Blender creations with the Timelapse Recorder! This powerful add-on simplifies the process of creating stunning timelapse videos directly within Blender. Effortlessly record your workflow and transform it into a captivating video, perfect for sharing your artistic process or showcasing your animation skills.

Key Features:

• Easy-to-Use Interface: A dedicated panel in the 3D View sidebar provides intuitive controls for all recording and video creation settings.
