Method 1: ffmpeg ( btw, it's open source) works: ffmpeg -start_number 925 -f image2 -i Light_%03d.png 1.avi do not work ( pulling my hair, and don't know why) ffmpeg -start_number 925 -i Light_%03d.fits 1.avi ffmpeg -start_number 925 -f image2 -i Light_%03d.tif 1.avi i guess, maybe, Glob pattern is not working properly under windows .... todo: try again under Linux Method 2: ImageTOOLSca ( 40 days trial, last update was in 2008..., basic but "still" working ) this works for me Method 3: 2 steps convert the fits format to tiff or png format use ffmpeg or similar encoder to convert to video ffmpeg wiki stargazerlounge
