    Converting Canon 5D stills to timelapse sequence

    Posted by Josie Le grice on September 23, 2011 at 1:43 pm

    I have a series of jpeg images (about 4MB each) shot on the Canon 5D,that I have been trying to convert into a timelapse sequence. I have been using the Quicktime Pro image sequence converter (using 1 frame per second setting), but the sequence created is very jerky indeed.

    I have tried using Mpeg Streamclip to re-convert as has been suggested in other posts on this subject but with no success.

    Is there a better way of doing this? Or have I been missing a step.

    Thanks

    And what settings are you choosing with QTPro?

    I have tried all kinds of settings.
    Originally Apple ProRes (HQ then LT)
    Next DVCPRO
    Then DV PAL

    Aha! Silly old me. I had been using 1 frame per second. Duhhh.

    Thanks so much for the help

    Motion is also a useful program for creating a timelapse from stills.
