In the Image Sequence Settings dialog, choose a frame rate, then click OK.

You can choose any frame rate, but there is almost always an intended correct frame rate
based on the original format. If you aren’t sure, check with the person who generated
the image sequence to make sure you choose the proper frame rate. NTSC uses 29.97 fps,
PAL uses 25 fps, film traditionally uses 24 fps, and HD might use any of the above, as well
as 59.94 or 60 fps. For more information, see

“Frame Rate and Timecode.”

Choose a frame rate
for the movie from this
pop-up menu.

Your image sequence is imported into QuickTime Player as an uncompressed video file.

Choose File > Save.

Note: You can also choose File > Export > QuickTime Movie. This gives you the option
