Compileing timelaps video from images

[neufuse Veteran]

Wasn't sure where to post this because its on multiple topics...

but I have about 60,000 images (1 per every 2 seconds) of GIF format images from a webcam. I need to take these images (they are sequentially numbered 1,2,3,4,5,etc) and turn them into frames in a video file... is there any programs out there that can do this easily? thanks

According to my Google searching, a tool called VirtualDub will do that. ;)

I can't figure out how VirtualDub can process what is now 250,000 single sequentially numbered gif files and turn them into an avi... i must be missing something

anyone else have any suggestions?

In Premiere and After Effects, you can import the first image and, as long as they're numbered sequentially, it'll recognize and import them all. Then just render it out to video. I'm not, however, positive .gifs will work, you may have to convert them to jpgs or tiffs, (batch process in PS). HTH

Premiere will do it. Just get the demo. Then import all the files. But under preferences you will want to specify how long a particular still image is displayed for (i.e. how many frames), then you highlight them all, drag them onto the timeline, and everything should be wonderful. Then File - Export Timeline - Movie, then save as a Microsoft DV AVI and then you are good to go.
