A quick introduction to timelapse video and some of the tools used in linux to help create them. 
</p>
<p>
cd to dir that holds the images
</p>
<p>
Create a directory called resize and run
</p>
<p>
 "mogrify -path resize -resize 1920x1080! *.JPG" 
</p>
<p>
If you need to Deflicker your images place the script in your resize directory 
and run
</p>
<p>
 "./timelapse-deflicker.pl -v"
</p>
<p>
This will create a dir called deflickered
</p>
<p>
If you use mencoder to create your video you need to use ls and make a text 
file with the files listed in sequential order
</p>
<p>
 "ls -1tr | grep -v files.txt &gt; files.txt"
</p>
<p>
then
</p>
<p>
 "mencoder -nosound -noskip -oac copy -ovc copy -o outputfile.avi -mf fps=25 'mf://@files.txt'
</p>
<p>
if you use ffmpeg something like this should get you out of trouble, though 
your files need to be named in sequential order starting with img(number 1 2 etc).jpg 
</p>
<p>
 "ffmpeg -f image2 -i img%d.jpg -vcodec libx264 outputfile.mp4"
</p>
