I searched the board, but did not find anything. how do you people merge the rendered animation frames to a movie? I am new to this, I use photoshop, but it is a pain. I am not planning on doing this frequently, so I won't be investing in expensive software just for that. I work with Mac, so please no windows suggestions

I know there is after effects and the like, but that is overkill for now.
would it be easier in quicktime pro or imovie?

thanks
wim

In QuickTime Player 7, hit command-shift-O and select the first frame of the sequence then it will open as a movie and you can save from there. QuickTime Player 7 should be on your Mac somewhere, I think it is installed to Utilities now so that you use QuickTime Player 10 instead, but you can't edit with that.

I made the same question some time ago:

Blender could be a solution. It's a pity that Tom's tutorial isn't online any more. I remember it was pretty easy.

Yep, it was quite straight forward. It was about "old" Blender though.

Ranch RenderFarm offers Framanip and 64 bit image sequence loader (although weirdly only the 32 bit version can encode avi's! so you'll need to download both)

Thanks Tom and oz42 for the suggestions, but unfortunately you missed my initial post, these apps are win only, so pretty useless to me, I had bad experiences with my latest windows emulator on mac, therefore...
but thanks anyway for the trouble.

QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OSX v 10.6.3 or later can be found here:

That said, I have never tried making movies with it by opening frames, but at least it won't cost you anything to try the technique mentioned above.
