In ubuntu I created a bash script and ran it all day while I worked (using apt-get install ImageMagick)

	#!/bin/bash
	i=1;
	while [ 1 ];
		do import -window root -resize 50% my/foldername/$i.jpg
		let i++;
		sleep 10;
	done

At the end of the day I had hundreds of photos and used ffmpeg in the "my/foldername/" directory from the command line:


	$ sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
	$ ffmpeg -r 10 -i %d.jpg -b 15000k timelapse.mov
