This is gonna be a rather short post. But since I burned a fair amount of time researching this I guess it is worth sharing.
A few friends (Kai and Timo) and I did a little rapid prototyping session (48h) for a game project a few weekends ago. We decided to take pictures of it – 1 every 15 seconds – to be specific.
Now with a couple of thousands of high-res pictures I was confronted with the task of finding a software to easily create a video of them now.
VirtualDub (find here) turned out to be the most fitting for the job. It is not the most intuitiv option “Open Video” for that and then to choose “Image Sequence” from the Filetype-Dropdown. Then you you just select the first image in the folder you want to import and that’s it. Then you can simply render a uncompressed AVI File.
Now with a 50GB AVI I compressed it using the VLC Player (link).
Here is the final result (Thanks to Kai for the Title renderings):
