I was hoping to use windows Movie Maker but Microsoft have killed it off. You cant even download it any more. I did quite a bit of googling to land on the one I used. Most of the howtos I found were basically advertorials for one companies software or another.
I learned a bit doing this one, mostly that it will be easier to produce JPG images off the camera as most of the software will require it anyway to create a lapse (Meaning I had to find a Canon RAW to JPG converter) and the file naming setup needs to be carefully considered in Backyard EOS to produce a file structure that will make it easy to import 1200 files in the right order!
Hopefully some clear weather pops up in the next couple of weeks so I can have another go. But sooner or later I will need to use a better camera. I bought the 350D on here as a cheap intro and it has some limitations, as well as a not very sensitive and quite noisy sensor. With a bit more gear I can use my wife's Nikon D3 with is more sensitive, less noisy and not modded so the colour is easier to deal with.
