is it possible to make a movie from JPEG images? i accidently had the gopro shooting images, not a movie. but i think it would be interesting to make a high speed looking movie from the 1000 or so images that are sequential of me windsurfing. thanks.

Hi Vestel -

I don't know how you had the camera set - as in time between each image - but you could make an easy video by:

1. Importing the photos & dropping the in the timeline
2. Select all
3. Click Slideshow and choose the Time Lapse template
4. Click Customise to set the image duration (number of frames)
- you can always change this later
5. Choose Advanced Editing
6. Back in the timeline, see how it looks and whether you need to reset duration.

Cheers - Tony

Hi, Borgus1.

Thanks for your recommendations. I found the second video to be quite helpful in explaining the process, but....

It suggests that if the video is still jumpy, the empty portions between frames can be eliminated to produce a smooth video clip.

With this in mind, I took my 8 second video clip - made from about 100 frames animating a drawing - elongated it to make the spaces visible to remove, and spent about three hours removing all the blank spots. Once done, I can't get the "slideshow" option to reappear, and the video I now have seems to be over 7 minutes in duration!

How can I compress this new video segment, and how do I get the "slideshow" tab to reappear?

Any ideas? Anyone?

Thanks.
Paul
