Is there a quick, smooth, and easy way to link up still images from a time-lapse sequence in Adobe CS5 ?

 

I will be shooting time-lapse with a Nikon D2X, and as such, realize that I must do it in JPEG not RAW. But, after the shooting is done, I must put all those stills together sequentially in their high quality. I am hoping there is an option in CS5 that will allow me to do that. If it is in the manual, what page, because I cannot find it.

 

If not, what would you suggest? I do NOT want to lose the original quality in the process.

 

Thanks.

I would shoot it in RAW, open Adobe Bridge, select all, open in Camera Raw, do an amazing color correction without losing any of the quality. Save images as JPEGs. In the save dialog you can decide how you want to number your sequence. Import to Premiere/After Effects etc. as "image sequence". My company has done a lot of movies which are color corrected in Camera Raw, using TIFF-sequences.

I can't see that there's any difference in the export of the final product. I suggest he uses the program he is most comfortable working with. There is no good reason to choose an NLE based on how or what they export.
