I have taken 30,000 still images that I want to combine into a timelapse movie. I have tried QuickTime Pro, TimeLapse 3, and Windows Movie Maker, but with such a huge amount of images, each of the programs fail (I tried SUPER ©, but couldn't get it to work either...?). It seems that all of these programs crash after a few thousand pictures.
The images I have are all in .JPG format, at a resolution of 1280x800, and I'm looking for a program that can put these images into a timelapse movie in some kind of lossless format (raw/uncompressed AVI would be fine) for further editing. Does anyone have any ideas, or has anyone tried anything like this with a similar number of pictures?
Answer
Avidemux can create movies from a bunch of images. http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/
You could also use mencoder, but is a bit harder to use, with all the command line options 'n all. I've been using this:
mencoder mf://*.jpg -mf fps=xxx:type=jpg -ovc x264 -x264encopts bitrate=yyyy:threads=2 -o outputfile.mkv
I use
xxx = 25 and
yyy = 1200
which produces vids that are just fine. Add tunes to the movie by inserting:
-oac copy -audiofile audiofile.mp3
