# A quick TJ and a question for you all
I have a bunch of JPEGs and I want to make an animation or video out of them (sort of time lapse thingy). What software should I use?

# most animation tools have ways of importing image sequences
if its a crappy gif then animation shop if you can find it, if video Premiere will do it

# Ah, cheers
I don't have any animation tool, except for an older version of flash (of which I don't know if it'll run any more).

# I think the quality would be rubbish and the filesize enormous.
But I just discovered I can export as a .mov from there, so I shall experiment with that! I shall have to put them all in layers first, I guess.

# If you name the jpgs sequentially such as jpg-00, jpg-01 etc.
when you open your jpg you can select "image sequence" by clicking the checkbox and that will import them all into a single file which you can save as a .mov file

# when you use Open in PS there is a checkbox at the bottom "Image Sequence"
check it and it will load and a pop up frame will prompt you for a frame-rate for timelaspe you might want to set it to 24 fps
