## AI overview

The third and final post in a series explains how the author creates a time-lapse video from photographs taken from the same position over multiple years. It discusses ordering images by day of year and time of day, using EXIF metadata, and practical observations about video generation.

## Source excerpt

In the first post of this series, I focused on the project foundations: what should I do to create a video from photos taken from the same position year after year? I dedicated the second part to aligning images. It wasn't as easy as I expected. I stumbled upon new concepts, such as ORB and RANSAC. In this third and final post, I want to tackle the video creation itself, explain some 'artistic' decisions, and leave the door open to future work.
