Timelapse video from images revisited.

After a number of trials described in my previous post on this subject I decided to purchase QuickTime Pro cause I could not find any decent free alternative. I am not saying it was wrong decision but for some reason my searches did not locate a great utility I am going to write about now. It is called Time Lapse Assembler. It free as a beer and quality is really great. Yes, it cannot handle TIFFs but if you got high quality JPEGs it should be all you need.




Features

  • Exports MPEG, H.264, and RAW movies
  • Select between 15, 24, and 30 fps
  • Allows resizing of finished movie
