Second Hyperlapse test. I’ve been waiting for this to come out for months. It really does make sped-up bike video look almost watchable, though, ironically, YouTube said it looked a little shaky and offered to clean it up ;-) The center point of the video wanders back and forth oddly, as Hyperlapse tries to find the focus of the shot. In the thumbnail shot, you can see how Hyperlapse chooses to include far more of the left of the shot than the right.

I switched TealLantern over to Munitions today, using the “free” monthly station cash so it didn’t cost me any REAL money. I’ve only worked on a damage build so far. In damage mode, Munitions seems to have slightly less active crowd control than Mental did, but somewhat more actual DPS.
