so im new to video editing and with the moon being so big last night i thought i would set my gopro up on a 10 second timer. So i compleatly missed the moon, however i did get one really bright star. I now have over 1300 pictures of this star and i want to throw it all together. My question is how? i have final cut pro and i movie. Any help?
thanks

Quicktime 7 Pro ($30). Put all the images in one folder, then go to File > Open > Image Sequence. Pick the first image. Then you pick 24 fps and it will turn it into an image sequence. After that, simply export it to h.264 at native resolution and you're done.

or

You can download MPEGstreamclip (free). Press Command + B, then add all the photos you want. In the next window, choose "convert to quicktime" and make sure you check the "join all files" box. Under compression settings, change the codec to ProRes LT, 100% quality, native resolution, uncheck interlaced scaling, and put the frame rate to 24 fps.

Bam.

Imovie-this is the way I do it. Its not the best but it does work.

-drag the photos into the project (top left box).
-highlight all of em.
-change the photo time to .01(the lowest itl go).
-take off the ken burns effect.
-export the movie.
-then import that movie and speed it up to whatever looks good.

that super cool and this is what i came up with, its pretty bad because i was using a gopro and couldent zoom but i really want to know what is left to the moon, is it a planet? or is it just some sort of lens reflection. Also you can see a point where the moon turns yellow on one side and a shooting star passes
