#How to build a video (mpg of animated gif) from a sequence of files.  
#First I make a subdirectory where I copy the images (avoid destroying the originals)
#In this case the files are unprocessed Nikon images: dsc_????.jpg where ???? 
#is the image number.  The following code is in a script file: make_video.  
#I put this in the video directory and then execute it. Takes a few min to build the video
#
for i in dsc*.jpg
do
echo $i
#convert -despeckle $i tmp
#convert tmp  -gamma 1.25 $i 
convert -unsharp "3.0 0.5 0.0" $i tmp
convert -resize 640 tmp $i
