convert fits files to video

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
