Animation of Sequential Images …through ImageJ
Background
ImageJ
A cross-platform public domain image processing software that had been developed in 1997 by Wayne Rasband at the National Institute for Health.
Applications
Images collected from one location can be sequentially stacked and animated through ImageJ.
Animation of sequential images makes it easier to observe changes over time.

PracticeNet Radiation on Earth
Download Sequential ImagesSave all images in TIF format (TIFF) in order to be able to process in ImageJ. Incorporate a number in the name of the saved image that appropriately represents its place in time.
Sequentially Number Images
Save Sequential Images
Make a folder on your desktop.
Place all sequential images in the desktop folder.
In this case, you should have 12 images representing composites of monthly net radiation.
Import Sequential Images
Through ImageJ, select File > Import > Image Sequence
Click on first image and select open.
A sequence options screen will pop up. Select sort names numerically and use virtual stack and click OK.
Save Stacked Images as a Movie The images are now stacked in sequential order as a single file (V). Click on the file and save as an animated gif (PC) or avi (Mac) movie file. You can now embed link in PowerPoint.
