I want to make a video of a typical 10 hour day in my workshop. Rather than using video cameras I will be using 3 Canon and 1 Nikon stills cameras. I won't recording video with these DSLRs, I'll be using time lapse photogaphy. I may also add some video shot on my Sony compact camera. What I want to know is this - Is there any easy way to drop 100s of still photos into the video timeline or will I have to add each still frame individually? I will be using the Windows software that is bundled with Vista but will spend some money if there is a need.
Any amateur (or pro) video editors here? Advice required.

I think picasa will make a slide show video from any folder. Not sure if you can vary the frame rate but you could always edit that in a standard video package. Either way, look for a tweak able slides how feature you can point at a folder.
If in doubt photoshop can also do it.

The windows software will do that no problem and you can add an audio track. You can multi tag the photo's and drag them into the project.
There is an excellent freeware program called virtualdub which I use to import lots [thousands] of images. As long as they are within the same folder and seqentially named it picks them up automatically. You can alter frame rates, compression ratios, change brigthness/contrast - a whole load of visual editing stuff can be done [or not].
