Do Gimp or Darktable have tools to do that?

Not an area I'm very familiar with, however.

I've only used gimp for very, very basic editing. No clue if it does video, but skimming through some stuff, it doesn't seem to.

Isn't time-lapse sped up video? Did you mean slideshow video from images? Or did I misunderstand?

No. I took ~4000 photos of the eclipse and want to string them together into a video.

ffmpeg -i *.jpg output.mp4

kdenlive if you prefer GUI

I've seen that mentioned before. I'm not sure how to even get to that point. 😅

what point? what's the problem? feel free to dm me if you need help.

Trying to figure out how to batch process 60gb of photos.

It's gonna take a long time.

I also second ffmpeg.

If you want:

- Just copy the image files into the ffmpeg folder to avoid typing the entire paths.

- Right click in file manager in ffmpeg folder and select open in terminal.

- Copy the command he gave.

I'll try that when I get home from work. Thanks.

And keep the file names short. 4k commandline lenght might be too large

It won't be that long. I skimmed through the captures last night and most of them suck. 🤷‍♂️😮‍💨😐🙄😞
