TimeLapse

So I have this construction timelaps (about 10 thousand or so images) from May to October - What would be the best way to create a movie out of this. I haven't tried it, but....would FCP5.1 be able to import that many images?
or is there a better way to do this in FCP

thanks

Are the images numbered? If they are - that is, if they are, for e.g. image00001.tiff, image00002.tiff and so on, you could theorietically import them as a folder, then dump the folder on the timeline and they would all appear in order. Theoretically.

In practice, 10,000 images sounds like a lot to get going all at once. I would import them in blocks - so - maybe in weeks at a time or something?

Are they still images?

Also, are they prepped for FCP? Or are they too big/too small/wrong format/CMYK etc?

Use the import image sequence in Quicktime to make them into movies that you can import into FCP.

Do you have after effects? I haven't done this particular workflow, but I would imagine it would be easier in AE than FCP.
