Buddy Cam timelapse and power outages?

I have a Core One kit that came with the camera.  I experienced a very brief power outage, and the print resumed just fine.

 

This is a 7 hour print, and I was curious to learn how the timelapse might turn out due to the power interruption.

 

Has anyone experienced this? Does it just result in two separate timelapse videos with a gap in images during the power outage?

Each frame of the timelapse is an individual JPG file which has to be stitched together to make a video. So in this case, a power outage wouldn't make a difference.

Ah, okay.  I thought the camera saved them as a video file.  I'll have to find a suitable app to stitch them together.  Thanks!
