Anyone have a recommendation? At the moment i'm just looking for something to stick images together as a time-lapse video in HD. If there is a free one with some more controls then I'm all for that.

Preferably Mac based, but windows would be fine.
 
VirtualDub is free and will do what you want. Don't know if it works on Mac but works fine on Win 7

To try it quickly.
Ctrl R to open frame rate control. I select Convert to FPS and use 24fps.

Ctrl P to open compression menu (pick desired codec, i use xvid)

Ctrl O to pick your video file (this includes pictures as well)

The pictures need to numbered sequentially, pick the first img and all the rest in the series will be loaded.

You can also add audio.
Go to Audio menu then pick "audio from other file..." and choose your music.
F7 to save as avi.
Wait for it to finish processing then enjoy.
