cd to dir that holds the images
Create a directory called resize and run
"mogrify -path resize -resize 1920x1080! *.JPG"
If you need to Deflicker your images place the script in your resize directory and run
"./timelapse-deflicker.pl -v"
This will create a dir called deflickered
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
"ls -1tr | grep -v files.txt > files.txt"
then
"mencoder -nosound -noskip -oac copy -ovc copy -o outputfile.avi -mf fps=25 'mf://@files.txt'
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
"ffmpeg -f image2 -i img%d.jpg -vcodec libx264 outputfile.mp4"
