Ingesting 5d stills as time-lapse clip
I’m renting a 5d for the weekend and I’m hoping to get some cityscape time lapse b-roll for a piece I’m working on. In other forums, I got advice on how to use an intervelometer to capture stills. But then I don’t know how to ingest the stills into either motion or FCP to create 24 fps. Does anyone know how to do this? I don’t have after effects. I’m posting in the Motion forum as well.
Many thanksDan S.

Set the Still/Freeze Duration in the User Preferences to 1 (or whatever you want each frame to last) then import the folder with the stills in into FCP. Open that folder in the browser and make sure that the stills are in number order, then select all and drop them onto a timeline. Then go for a coffee while it renders.

You could also “open as image sequence” in QuickTime 7…and transcode to ur favorite codec from there.

I’d go with the Quicktime route. It has been designed for dealing with Image Sequences.
Bringing a few hundred images into Final Cut Pro is a sure-fire way to bring it to it’s knees.
