Timelapse Video with Vegas and 7D at DVinfo.net

Has anyone used Vegas to do a JPG sequence video, or timelapse?

I shot my first timelapse footage yesterday with my Canon 7D, but don't know how to import all the jpgs to the timeline so that each one just appears as one single frame.

Has anyone done this before? What's the secret? Isn't there some sort of import preference where all new stills can be imported as one frame and then the timeline rendered as a video?

Go to File - Import - Media, click on the FIRST image, and then click on the "Open still image sequence" checkbox. You can also specify how many in the range to import.

Thanks Edward. That was easy.
