The name blends "time-lapse" with the suffix "-i," signaling an approach that emphasizes interpolation or synthesis of frames rather than mere capture. In general, timelapsei workflows transform sparse or low-frame-rate input into smooth, high-frame-rate sequences suitable for video delivery.
Techniques associated with timelapsei include optical-flow driven frame interpolation, where motion between existing frames is estimated
