			At this point, you can watch your timelapse in VirtualDub (which I recommend) or apply any effects or modifications. This also gives one more chance to remove any unwanted frames. Just press left and right to go frame by frame and delete to remove a frame. When you are satisfied, select ''File'' and ''Save AVI'' to create the time lapse video.
