Hi Tim,


I have written a little app for combining images into a movie. It is really designed for creating time lapse movies, but it does have some features, like the ability to skip frames, that you might be able to use. It is available in the Mac AppStore named "Time-Lapse" for $5. You can download the manual first (www.microprojects.ca/software/Time-Lapse.pdf) to see if you can make use of its features.

Sounds neat!  Okay, well I left my computer running all night and had Astro IIDC save all the frames out as separate images.  I think I might select every 30th or 60th frame (original captured at 1FPS, 8406 frames!) to make a movie of the whole event, then make another of the frames around the annular phase and of the sunset, which started just before 4th contact.

Hi Tim;


I had written an app to do that years ago, but it won't work on intel Macs.


It would create reference movies form the main movie. A reference movie doesn't contain media, so it's only a few kilobytes and can refer to any length / size of movie. 230 ref movies would be maybe 200 kilobytes.


I'm on vacation for the next week or so and won't be back until after the Venus transit.


TTYL..

Hi Milton:


How do I break the movie into chunks?  I'd like to preserve the original so I can try other processing later, so I'll likely have to wait until I'm home and can make a duplicate onto an external hard drive (I don't have room on my laptop).
