Been trying out a few timelapse videos recently and have been using Quicktime Pro to merge the final images into the resulting .mov file. Downside to this is that the resulting file is 1.5GB+.

Anyone got any quick/easy tips to shove this .mov into Premiere Pro (CS5 if that makes a diff) and preferably scale it down to 720p (It's at 1080p atm) and re-compress it to be a lot smaller in file size? Although I know videos can get pretty large so not expecting miracles.

<3 for any help.

Scratch that, Sam gave me a hand with it all.

This was the result

Only a quick test (Only really good at the end) and got another one going atm that I'll leave in the darkness for a bit longer to hopefully get some more interest in the video.

Turned out pretty nice. Can't wait to see the proper one you're doing.

Thanks :). Hoping it works out well, it's due to snap away until 10PM and there was a pretty epic sunset today, so here's hoping.
