Making a timelapse

Hi.

Got about 11,000 images, 2 minutes delay between them over a month.

What software would be best and how can I make a time lapse?

I tried Adobe Premiere Pro, but the computer just runs out of memory and the application literally crashes.

Any idea?

Thanks.

I did something similar during the summer, I just used quicktime pro(as a timelapse function built in, really easy)

Think it was only 4000 photos or so, but you can use it in batches if it wont work, e.g. 4000 at a time save as .mov and repeat for next 4000etc, at the end then join all the sections together in adobe premier

11,000 is the batch, there is about 300,000 images altogether.

Ouch, thats one way of wearing out a camera's shutter quickly I suppose!

I did one in windows movie maker - was surprised how good it turned out with hardly any effort.

Can i ask how you managed to capture all those images onto one card and one nattery?
or did you change the cards half way through and have the camera powered? also, what camera? thanks

No it's a webcam

, recording to a PC using some software to take a pic every 2 minutes.
