Movie Making?

I'm planning a project using the K7's interval shooting mode.
Does anyone know, please, of a (free?) software that could convert the sequence of stills to a movie? If not, then it will have to be a fast slide-show!

Many thanks,

Roger.

Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

1. MEncoder

2. AviDemux

3. VirtualDub


All of those are free, and can do the task very well.
MEncoder is the quickest, AviDemux is probably the easiest, and VirtualDub is the most customizable.

I do think for this task WMM will be a bit slow, and QuickTime really struggles if you have a large amount of files.

A free unrestricted trial of Sony Vegas? Photoshop Elements can do it

Thanks, all!

Ken, I have Elements 9. Do I understand you correctly... "Photoshop Elements can do it"?

Could you point me in the right direction within PSE9 so to do please?

Thanks again,

Roger.

I'm using an iPad right now and won't be at my PC until tomorrow. I have done this and it's in the section where you can make albums and so on. I can't remember what it's called. I'll let you know.

I've used Windows Movie maker with some success to make time lapse videos.

Anyone know of a proganm that can make time lapse vids with the facility to add control points on each image to line them up.

I've got a series of pics I want to make into a video that weren't taken at exactly the same place on a tripod.

I've found it on Elements, Ken. Thanks for the pointer.
It looks quite good, having just had a cursory play!

I've only used it once but I think the resolution got knocked back quite a bit but there may well be settings you can adjust. Glad you found it.
