How do I convert still images to a time-lapse video file?

[HubbleWebb]

Hey guys,

This is probably a newbie question for you guys and might be obvious to you, but I am pretty new to photography still.

So pardon the newbie question.

I was wondering how to convert a series of still images into a time-lapse video file like an MP4 or MPEG file.

I have a Canon EOS DSLR and I took a series of pictures of the sun setting tonight. I took a shot every 30 seconds for a couple hundred shots. Then I took a series of pictures every 10 seconds for a similar amount of shots.

How do I convert these series of images into videos?? Does the Canon "Digital Photo Professional" allow you to do this??

If not, what other free program is commonly used to do this? I don't want to compress or degrade my image quality.

I want it to just play the stills like a video at 30 or 60 frames per second. I'm looking for a free program if possible.

Thanks for the info!! I appreciate it!

A previous computer that I used to have had Windows Movie Maker on it. My current computer has Windows 7 Home Premium. I don't think Movie Maker came with it.
I also don't have Photoshop FYI.

Is there a free program available for download that would do what I need??
Thanks again guys!

I use "Time lapse Assembler"  - it's free and works really well with my Canon 550D.

I resize them first then use quick time pro.

No need to download this one, just upload your stills and then download the completed gif. There is a limit on how much data you can upload, but the last time I used it (a couple of years ago now) it was free.
