    Question, i took a several hundred photos in jpg format and I want to know how to merge them together in a video.
    I bought quicktime pro 7 but it won’t install because I have quicktime player 10. Not sure how to do this. Is there another way to do this easily?

    Thanks

    Do you have Final Cut Pro or just quicktime? It would be easier to have an editing program to put a stills sequence together to make a timelapse. Obviously the stills need sequential numbering so they go in the right order.

    I just bought quicktime pro 7, but it won’t install. I get an error. I think it’s because I have quicktime player 10. Don’t know how to make it work.

    I have adobe premier cs5. How long do you set the duration for each photo?

    Thanks!

    Each photo should be one frame in a timelapse. Use Premier Pro.

    I am not sure why you can’t install Quicktime 7 Pro. Many of the people here have done so when they use Final Cut Suite 3 so it is possible.

    After effects does the best job of this…

    QuickTime Pro is probably the fastest way to stitch an image sequence into a movie, but you are limited to standard video frame rates.

    [Darin Miyashiro] “I bought quicktime pro 7 but it won’t install because I have quicktime player 10.”

    You have to run the Optional Installs package on your Snow Leopard disc to install Quicktime Player 7. It doesn’t replace QT10; it installs Quicktime Player separately in the Applications > Utilities folder.
