I have taken 30,000 still images that I want to combine into a timelapse movie. I have tried QuickTime Pro, TimeLapse 3, and Windows Movie Maker, but with such a huge amount of images, each of the programs fail (I tried SUPER ©, but couldn't get it to work either.?). It seems that all of these programs crash after a few thousand pictures.The images I have are all in.JPG format, at a resolution of 1280x800, and I'm looking for a program that can put these images into a timelapse movie in some kind of lossless format (raw/uncompressed AVI would be fine) for further editing.
Does anyone have any ideas, or has anyone tried anything like this with a similar number of pictures? Use.This will create a video slideshow (using video codec libx264) from series of png images, named named img001.png, img002.png, img003.png, Each image will have a duration of 5 seconds, change the variable according to your choice. Ffmpeg -f image2 -r 1/5 -i img%03d.png -c:v libx264 -pixfmt yuv420p out.mp4If your images have four digits, use%04d, etc. If your images do not have this pattern, you can use shell globs, at least on Linux and OS X: ffmpeg -f image2 -patterntype glob -i 'time-lapse-files/.JPG' You can also change the output framerate by specifying another -r after the input. If you do some basic calculations you'll see that you are probably running out of memory if you are trying to keep the movie uncompressed.Each frame is 1,024,000 pixels. At 32 bits per pixel that's 32,768,000 bits (4,096,000 bytes or 3.9 MB).If we multiply that up by 30,000 frames you need 117187.5 MB ( 114.45 GB) of memory to hold the whole movie in memory in one go - no wonder QuickTime Pro is failing.You could try reducing the resolution but that might still fail.You will need to build the movie up in smaller chunks and then stitch the whole thing together.
I would expect that there are applications that do this without loading the entire movie into memory. The final movie will also have to be compressed - again as it would occupy 114 GB on the hard drive. A movie only occupies a single DVD after all while your movie is 20 minutes long (at 25 frames per second). @ddrachenstern and @ChrisF - there is a difference between immediate storage and long-term storage. There is no video editing program that stores the entire length of the uncompressed video data in memory.

Even when you scroll through the preview, it will recreate the data from what it has stored on the hard disk from the various media sources (and maybe a bit more for caching). Other then that, when you finally 'render' a project, then you get the full video output (usually as a stream). The full video output can then be saved as-is (e.g. Uncompressed/RAW), or streamed to an encoder.–Feb 22 '11 at 21:56.
Yes, I know that this thread is over a year old. I've been using this for over 2 years though, and it works great with 10,000+ images:1080p@24fps, no sound ls -1v grep JPG files.txtmencoder -nosound -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=21600000 -o windowsillflowers7.avi -mf type=jpeg:fps=24 mf://@files.txt -vf scale=1920:10804k@90fps, no sound ls -1v grep JPG files.txtmencoder -nosound -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=21600000 -o windowsillflowers7.avi -mf type=jpeg:fps=90 mf://@files.txt -vf scale=3840:2160I had to mess around with the codec a lot before getting something that youtube would recognize, though. An sample using the 2nd block can be found here. I use Google's Picasa.
It's also a very good photo organizer in my opinion. Here is how.1) File Add Folder to Picasa. add the folder with your photos.2) Right click your added folder in the left 'Folders' menu and Select All Pictures3) From the top menu Create Video From Selection.4) Now you're in the video maker Video Tab Transition Style Time Lapse5) You can Load an Audio Track, change the dimensions (I normally use 1024x768), add slides with text ini the Slide Tab.6) Video Maker Video Tab Create Video. You can sign in with you google account and upload it to youtube from here too.Back in the library, you can right click the video locate in disk to see where the video was saved. Another good thing about using Picasa is that you can select all the pictures and go to the top menu Picture Batch Edit I'm Feeling Lucky. It will correct the contrast and colour of all the photos at the same time.Before you create the video, you may want to add some movement to your time lapse withDisclamer: I'm the author. I faced a similar problem a while ago when I tried making a timelapse for a create-a-thon at a local hackerspace.
I run OS X, so I'm not sure how viable it is to use this on Windows, but I used MEncoder.This is the command I used in terminal: mencoder mf://.jpg -mf w=800:h=600:fps=5:type=jpg -ovc copy -oac copy -o buildmadison.aviThere's two problems with this:. It's AVI. All it does is slosh the images together into a single file with no compression. Of course, it's fast as heck, and it actually works!Afterwards I ran it through another utility to convert it to a halfway decent format.MEncoder is part of the MPlayer project, located here.
