timelapse using a d7000 (and small bit with a gh2)

The D7000 is great for doing timelapses! My external intervalometer broke halfway during my trip but thankfully the built-in one saved me! Driving scene was filmed with a GH2.

Great combo to have on a trip actually, a d7000 and a gh2.

 
I just bought the D7000 and want to do this type of shooting. I just haven't figured out yet how to actually edit the individual photos into a moving video. I know it must be fairly simple. Could someone enlighten me? I have Final Cut and Premiere Pro on a Mac. Thanks so much!
 
Use Quicktime Pro 7 to "open a file sequence" of all of your photos. Then you can save it out as a Quicktime movie in the size/codec of your choice.
 
hi! I'm using sony vegas, but basically I import a file sequence into the editor, and it shows up as a video clip. All my photos must be named sequentially for it to import (i.e. 001.jpg, 002.jpg, ...)
Hope that helps!
 
Thanks so much for the answers matthew and hojong. Ok, I'm pushing now but one last question if you could be so kind. On the cloud motion sequence, about how how long between exposures is a good place to start to get that smooth as glass motion? 10 sec, 1 sec, quarter sec? I have no idea where to start. Thanks so much for any help. The video is amazing by the way. I love the clouds and waterfall, and the driving sequence is fantastic. Thanks again.
 
The interval really depends on the speed of the clouds. When it was really windy, and I could obviously see the clouds moving just from watching them for a few seconds, I would set the interval at 1 second. If they were far away and slower moving, I would set it as slow as 6 seconds. Longer intervals is really just to save memory space though. Shooting at an interval of 1 second for any cloud movement will be fine and will ensure smooth movement in the timelapse.
