I have a bunch of time lapse images and I want to make them into a Video.

What would be the best way to do this?

Thanks,

Tools | Options set image duration to as low as it will go (decimal
works out to about 8 frames per second or something like that)

Then import the images

Then drag to timeline in order you want (helps to have them named so they
import in order)

Save Movie
 
Thanks I have the images in there and have the movie ready to go. Though the
it will only allow a duration of .125 seconds between images, or 8fps. Isn't
a normal movie some where around 28fps (0.03571 sec between frames)? Is
there anyway to get something close to that?

I have several thousand still images (over 30,000 by the time the project is
finished) of a construction site and am merging
them all together to form one of those movies showing the building being
built. At 8 frames per second its going to be over an hour long... Even at
28 frames per second it will be 17 minutes... At the 17 minutes we would
still probably take out every other image. to make it about 8 minutes.

Any Suggestions would be helpful. We have access to Pinacle Studio DV
(Liquid Edition), though I have not tried to use it yet. Figured I'd start
out simple. (-;

Thanks,

Do it in a few passes.

If you make your video segments) at a default of 1/8 second for the duration
of each, you'd have 3,750 seconds....

Put all the segments together into an overall video with the 3,750 seconds.

Then for the final pass, import it as a single clip and apply the speed up -
double special effect. You can apply it to the same clip up to 6 times, so
you can have:

applied once - 1,875 seconds
twice - 938
3 times - 469
4 times - 234
5 times - 117
6 times - 59 seconds - a one minute video
