ffmpeg

NightPro is a wrapper for this ffmpeg command, which turns a series of images into a timelapse video. Nightpro defaults much of this command and automatically finds the start numbers for you. That way to run the command below multiple times, you only have to run nightpro once.

$ ffmpeg -r 32 -start_number <number> -i ./<folder>/G00%d.JPG -vcodec libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p <name>.mp4

• Replace 32 with any framerate you'd like
• Replace <number> with the number of the first photo, this is prefaced with G00 in -i, add or remove zeros if your numbers are lower or higher
• Replace <folder> with the name of the folder the photos are in
• Replace <name> with the name of the output file
• -vcodec libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p ensures compatability with Quicktime
• When testing add -s 640x480 before the output name to make a smaller file size and process faster
