Creating timelapse images into a quicktime or .mov file

I photographed a timed sequence of still images lasting for a few seconds, and would like to know how I can create a short movie from these images.
I've already photoshopped the images which are saved as .jpg files. And want to post it as a movie file online and email the file.
Would I create these time lapsed images into a movie by using a program like IMovie or within PhotoShop?
I have Final Cut Pro but still very much a stranger in using this program. I will when I've more time.
I have PhotoShop 8 (yeah 'ol school, but it works for me ), MacBook Pro running with 2GB Ram., OS 10.5.7.
Something tells me, that this could be a simple task of importing these images, but could be to good to be true.
Would greatly appreciate any feedback on the best way in creating such a file.
thanks in advance.. ~A~

Christopher..
Was doing this in ImageReady, followed all the steps to save the file (with all the time lapse images) as a quicktime movie file.
And when I open the saved quick time movie file it only saves one image as a .mov quicktime file and not the rest of the images?
Looked through a few notes, retried and couldn't figure it out?
Marion..
FCP.. I have no idea where to begin in learning how to import .jpg (timelapse) images into FCP let alone piece it into a small film.
All the images are ready to be converted into a movie file..just don't know where to start.
any leads would be greatly welcomed! ~A~

Compress many "still images" into a quicktime video file....possible????

Is it possible to take hundreds of "still frames" (like jpegs or tiffs) into Compressor and export them as a quicktime movie(I know I need 30 pics for every second using 29.97)? If so how? Thanks

Quicktime video (.mov file) will not load and play in Firefox 3.6.16

I have a computer with Firefox 3.6.16 installed that will not play Quicktime videos (.mov files) in the browser. This is a desktop computer.
Another computer (laptop) with exactly the same version of Firefox installed will load and play them perfectly in the Quicktime player.
Both computers have Quicktime addin 7.6.9.0 installed and designated as the default application for Quicktime movies.
Both computers play the videos correctly in IE 8.
When attempting to play the video in Firefox, the player window opens and attempts to load the video, but soon seems to freeze leaving a black window open where the player should be.
From what I have observed, this seems to be a problem related specifically to this computer, and since the video plays in IE I have ruled out the firewall blocking loading from the site.

Hi, I've exactly the same problem, 'cept I've XP Pro. When I say exactly, I mean the format used is HDV 1080i60, along with everything else there.
And I'm right there with you. Why Quicktime can't play a natively encoded HDV Quicktime file (using Final Cut Pro), is beyond me, but basically, I've used K-Lite Codec Pack, and Quicktime. Neither work, although Quicktime does ask for internet connectivity to download resources or something similar (I don't have Internet Access at home). I've used VLC on a friend's PC, and, while it works, there is a very strange, and irritating flicker where there's heavy movement
Where can I get the resource needed, as another party needs to view the clip, and they already have it. So if they can update their codec library or similar, then that would be much better (as I wouldn't need to upload a FullHD Video again)
thanks

How to convert a .flv file into a Youtube sharing .mov file via Compressor?

I'm trying to convert a .flv file into a Youtube sharing .mov file via Compressor but every time I submit it, it fails due to error code -50. It worked two hours ago (albeit, very slowly) with another .flv file but now it refuses to even try. Please help!

Sorry you're having problems, but it's not surprising. The error code is invalid media.
The easy way is to forget about Compressor and upload the Flash file directly to You Tube with their uploader.
You'll also save a generation of compression loss.
Good luck.

Quicktime 10 not opening Quicktime 7 MOV files

All of the old Quicktime movies created from IDL TIFF images and exported using the IDL 6.3 Research Systems Inc. Codec will not play in Quicktime 10. The files would not play in VLC or Flip4Mac either. Imported the MOV files into iMovie 11 (9.0.2), the thumbnails showed the images and tried to export in different formats. All formats displayed black screens. Any ideas would be appreciated. I have dozens of movies that need to be made accessible to coworkers.

Unfortunately the codec was not installed on this system... The error seems to be happening only for TIF files that were used to build the project.
Then perhaps you should install the missing codec if possible or convert the files on the "old" system. If the TIFF images are encoded using a proprietary or custom compression codec, then QT would require the same codec to decode the file data for both playback and conversions.

Problem creating several image maps (linking to different pdf files) RoboHelp 8

Hi,
I have a problem creating several image map hotspots (that link to different .pdf files), from the same image using RoboHelp 8 HTML (WebHelp project).
After compiling, the first image map hotspot created, opens the .pdf file correctly. Unfortunately, when clicking on the other image hotspots, I get an error " Cannot find file...<file path>... Make sure path or Internet address is correct".
All the pdf documents are located in the same folder within the project.
Can anyone help?

Have you added the target files as baggage?

Any way to capture a still frame as an image in Imovie HD? "Create Still Frame" just gives me short MOV files

I'm trying to export a still from a project I'm working on so I can add some things to it in photoshop before importing it back in to the imovie project.
It's from the end of a clip I have. I know I could just use grab and take a screen capture but the quality would be awful.
Imovie HD has this feature, "Create Still Frame" and when I google this problem all the answers tell me to use that.
HOWEVER: When I do use Create Still Frame, instead of giving me a JPG I can use or another image format, it creates a short 5 second .mov clip of the still. If I wanted it in movie format I'd just use the original clip, what I need is an image format!
There doesn't seem to be an option anywhere to change what type of still frame format it uses. There must be a way to do this however, all the answers I've found say it should be JPG and I should be able to locate it then in the project package - what am I doing wrong?

The shortest way to accomplish this is to download a copy of MPEG Streamclip as relayed by longtime iMovie Discussion Group participant AppleMan1958
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15808352#15808352
First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
Open MPEG Streamclip.
In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.

IDVD unable to display Quicktime HD mov files as 16:9 format :

Hi there.
The problem I have is that iDVD simply does not display the 16:9 format for the quicktime movie clips (less than 3 minutes) made with the screen size setting HIGHER than HD 1280 X 720 16:9. iDVD shows the higher resolutions i.e a.HD 1440 X 1080 16:9 and b. HD 1920 X 1080 16:9 as squeezed 4:3 format. It displays correctly with 16:9 aspect ration for the screen size of HD 1280 X 720 16:9/
The iDVD projects are all created with 16:9 aspect ratio . How can I get iDVD to display the higher HD resolutions in widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio. ?
Thanks in advance
KK

Hi
There are NO HD version of iDVD AT ALL !
The DVD standard is also limited to SD-video
Only way to get HD - as I know of is
• Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. Blue-Ray component
• Blue-Ray burner + disks (short ones can be done on DVD with Mac Superdrive)
• Can only be played on a BR-Player eg PlayStation 3

Can't get Quicktime HD movie files to run smoothly on my iMac G3

I've got a slot loading imac crt/ G3 933mhz 596mb of ram; and updated it to tiger and quicktime 7 pro. Everything was fine. I marvelled at HD quicktime movies and videos in iTunes, but all of a sudden, any new hd files I download from iTunes or the quicktime site won't play smoothly. I found a shockwave file doing the same thing. It's as if my broadband has suddenly gone 56k. I know this isn't the case because I plugged my laptop in to the modem and it's fine. Has anyone else had a similar problem. Perhaps my processor and graphics card can't handle the latest quicktime software. The problem doesn't happen with audio files, and also stll happens to video files after they've completed downloading. The puzzling thing is it was fine until I tried to view previews and trailers in the iTunes store.

Newer H.264 encoded video requires more computer power (and a good video card).
Our G3 machines just can't keep up. Even most of Tiger's "eye candy" will not display on your G3.
Avoid QuickTime content that says "HD" in its name or uses H.264 video. Nothing is wrong with your older iMac. It's just under powered.

Using QuickTime Pro to convert a series of JPEG images into a QT movie?

Can I use QuickTime Pro to convert a series of JPEG images into a QT (uncompressed) movie? Thanks...
Windows XP

Yes.
One of the features of the QuickTime Pro upgrade is "Open Image Sequence". It imports your sequencially named (1.jpg, 2.jpg) liked sized images (any format that QT understands) and allows you to set a frame rate.
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/slideshow.html
You can also adjust the frame rate by adding your image .mov file to any audio clip. Simply "copy" (Command-A to select all and then Command-C to copy) and switch to your audio track.
Select all and "Add to Selection & Scale". Open the Movie Properties window and "Extract" your new (longer or shorter) file and Save As.
As you've posted in the Mac Discussion pages but your profile says XP you'll need to subsitute Control key where I reference Command key.

Creating MPG or MOV files from iDVD (specifically menus)

Okay, this may be an odd question and there may be no way to do it, but...
Is there any way (free, decently workable for someone not super techy) to go from iDVD into an MPG or MOV file?
Really what I'm wanting to do is create a preview of sorts from my current DVD menu (I like the menu's look) so as to show this "preview" online or in a Keynote presentation...
Even if I could get the whole DVD (it's super short) into a file that could be imported back into iMovie to trim would work - if there's a way to do that.
The only thing I see that I can do is create a disk image or like VOB files which I don't see how either of those can work...
Am I dreaming or are there possibilities?
Thanks!

Snapz Pro X is what I use as well. http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/

Lightroom 4.1 - I Cannot import Nikon D300s video / movie files into catalogue - Can you?

Hi,
I can import all of my movie files produced by other cameras into my Lightroom 4.1 catalogue, I have the most recent version of Quicktime installed and obviously as I can import other camera model movies it proves that the basic Lightroom services and processes are working fine.
When I try to import the movie, first on the import module it says 'unable to create preview' and then it states, 'this movie file contains no video frames'.
I had gone back to Lightroom 3.5, but have since realised this version doesn't publish my movie files to flickr if they are >30Mb due to the way the Lightroom 3 Publishing module craps out on memory usage.
I know the D300s records movies using the J-MPEG codec, but I'm not sure if this is a problem with the codecs installed on my machine or whether Lightroom does not support this codec?
Before I waste another few days on trying to resolve the D300s import issue, can anybody else preview and import their Nikon D300s video files into Lightroom 4 or 4.1?
Thanks,
Simon

Creating Still images

I would like to creat still images in iMovie while the movie is playing. I know that I could do this in previous versions but now I can't do it using the shift-command - s keys. It just beeps when I try it. Is there a setting I need to adjsut to be able to do this? Right now I have to go back to the beginning of the clip after it makes a still image. this wastes time.
Thanks in advance for any help.

-matter of fact it's never done that.
I was able to make still shots while the clip was playing in a previous version of iMovie. Maybe iMovie 3 or 4? Last year when I did my daughters ballet recital I was able to make still shots while the clip was playing.
-what exactly do you mean when you say that you have to go back to the beginning of the clip?
After I get done making the still shot, I have to click on the clip again and it takes me back to the beginning of that clip.
Thanks for your help!
