30-second chunks would have been easy. This was 1-second chunks.
I wish I could say I thought of using scene detection, but I just used the wheel on my mouse and the Insert key.But I just tried your suggestion on the raw video (1-1/2 hour file) and it locked up the computer when I tried to drag 5600+ clips to the timeline. I tried again with just a 30-minute segment and it appears to be locked up too.
Here's an undated version with music.

The 30-minute segment finally loaded to the timeline. Thanks for the tip. If I do this sort of thing again, I'll have a smarter method.
30 frames, 30 seconds - easy mistake
The music makes it more watchable, if that makes sense
I think I'll try a few sunsets and passing clouds. Another excuse to buy a HD camera.....
I did this with another NLE and I also created the wmv with it to upload to youtube. It was shot on a Canon HV20 and I speeded up the hour long file 1000% then speeded up that file another 500% so it compressed an hour clip to a few seconds. It took me all of a few munites to do the whole thing.
