| 1279816 | 2012-06-05 23:26:00 | Hi All, I have around 22,000 small jpeg images (motion detection images taken over a period of time). Can anyone suggest an application to merge all these images into a video clip? Cheers :thumbs: |

| 1279817 | 2012-06-05 23:38:00 | Are they numbered numerically? Or in order? I'm assuming one pic per frame? Most video editing suites allow this. Me being a simpleton use VirtualDub (http://www.virtualdub.org/) |

| 1279818 | 2012-06-05 23:41:00 | Yep, all images are named as date/time etc. I have PowerDirector 8 but this can only support up to 2,500 images.... |

| 1279819 | 2012-06-06 01:32:00 | I have successfully used the free graphic viewing program XnView to convert 3000 JPG images to a single EXE slideshow with perfect results. You can also create screensaver or video output. 22000 ??? Download full version zip file here: download2.xnview.com Details: www.xnview.com or www.xnview.org Menu > Create > Slide Show |

| 1279820 | 2012-06-06 03:02:00 | If you don't mind a bit of command-line bashing, pretty sure FFmpeg will do that (probably all in one line). An example from their docs: ffmpeg -f image2 -i foo-%03d.jpeg -r 12 -s WxH foo.avi Where WxH is the output resolution |

| 1279822 | 2012-06-06 04:31:00 | Just tried ffmpeg with ~18000 files (created by extracting each frame of a short video to JPEG's) & worked OK. Mind you, you may have to tweak the quality settings to get an output that does the originals justice. | MushHead (10626) | ||
| 1279823 | 2012-06-06 05:03:00 | Not sure what's used here, but here's 4000. www.youtube.com Failing all else, why not make multiple clips and then merge them once they're videos? Wouldn't that be the simplest option? |

| 1279824 | 2012-06-06 08:49:00 | Making clips and merging them would be a lot of transcoding. Kinda lossy esp as many security cams are not exactly HQ | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
| 1279825 | 2012-06-07 02:56:00 | Thanks for all replies. Managed to get this app en.cze.cz Works really well. Point to a folder with images, then converts to video. easy! |
