Movies from Stills

[Jack Rodgers]

The recent thread about importing digitals into iMovie reawakened a few 
neurons and I remembered two ways to do this that don't require more 
software.

Drag the jpegs into iPhoto and select them. Select the menu item 
File:Export and select Quicktime to make a movie from the selected 
stills. Set whatever options you prefer. The movie you create can be 
inserted into iMovie.

Open Quicktime PRO, that's the version you pay $29 for a password. 
Select File:Open Image Sequence and select a folder of images and ONE 
of those images. Then click Open and the entire folder of still images 
will be made into a movie. Chose xx seconds per frame for the stills. 
The frames will be the size of your jpeg so you might want to reduce 
the size in advance using a graphics prg. Of course you're back in 
iMovie again with the same problem we started with...  :)

Again, resizing your jpegs to 720x480 might help or whatever the actual 
size should be.
