Nice one.
I found on high quality on my crappy laptop it would pause every frame it saved in to the timelapse, so I got annoyed and canceled it.

If your talking about finding them they are in this folder:
[User Name][AppData][Introversion][Prison Architect][video]
If you want to view the video

Does windows movie maker support the file format these come in? It's been improved quite a lot since windows 7 & its pretty easy to use.

I found that running the files through handbrake after PA spits them out makes them like 50 times smaller, with no appreciable loss of quality. Also it gets rid of the annoying black bars on the side.

Used XMedia to re-encode the video to WMV and it shrunk from 3gigs to 50megs.
Click here to see Day 0-4.
Here are some screenshots of what it became at 30 days, no cheats - 240 capacity, half full, 3 workshops netting $25k/day (I was going to add more before hitting the IRL), 2 big cell blocks with 5 small blocks within, 24 prisoners per minor block, pretty clean utility lines, and good flow so far.

Offices and Laundry; Laundry uses a back corridor for access to the cell blocks
