Has anyone done this before?

I have shot a series of images and am now wondering what you do with them. At time like this Google just seems TOO BIG!!!

I've downloaded the first think I found, so we'll see how that goes.... but.... any tips welcome

There will be many neater fancier versions with ui's but at a very basic level;
for flv and many other formats i use;

ffmpeg -f image2 -r 2 -i imgnames_%d.jpg output.flv

( A lot of the programs you will be recommended are just wrappers around ffmpeg )

for gifs ;
gifsicle --delay=10 --loop imgnames*jpg > output.gif

both are available on all platforms.

I don't wish to sound rude, or uninformed, but eh?

Beneld, Sounds very flash man

I guess what solution suits depends on what software you currently have and are familiar with.

A lucky google hit mins after posting for help told me I could do it in Photoshop, who knew? I use CS6 so cant confirm other versions support this.

So my haphazard workflow went like this:
shot pics in raw (270 over 40 mins)
In camera RAW Iprocessed one, saved settings, applied those settings to the full batch
Export the batch as JPGS as a sequence
In Photoshop CS6 File > Export > Render Video
Choose your path to pics
Then I think I did that again but it went straight to exporting the video at my chosen frame rate which was 24fps (for no considered reason)

Things I've learned:
MORE shots needed, more frequently.
I don't have much patience for sitting about, so my 'concept' wasn't realised; boats bob about on water, tide goes out, mud revealed, boats wedged stationery on mud.
I needed to have read the manual better so I could set the timer I have to infinity, and not have it time out at 99.
Some sound would be nice, maybe waves and birds type music. I am rubbish at sourcing music though!
It's quite fun to see the end result
