    I shot a time lapse sequence on my camera and now I need to convert these photos to a timelapse video. What’s the easiest way , if, for example, I shot 200 phoyos at a 1 second interval?

    Hi Diego

    Need a little more info here. When you say you shot a time lapse with your camera, was it a video camera set to capture at regular preset intervals or did you use a ”regular” photo camera that took a separate picture at regular interval ?

    I’m guessing that you want an accelerated final result.

    What type of file(s) did you end up with ?

    Cheers !

    If these are from a still camera, go into Options > Prefs > Editing.
    On this page, set New Still Image Length to 1 second.
    Make sure Automatically Overlap Multiple Selected Media is not selected (unless you want to do a very quick fade from one image to the next which I doubt).
    Make sure all images are sequentially numbered.
    Import them, drop them on your timeline and play the sequence back.
    Adjust the Still Image Length if you want them to be on screen more or less.
