NightPro is a wrapper for this ffmpeg command, which turns a series of images into a timelapse video. Nightpro defaults much of this command and automatically finds the start numbers for you. That way to run the command below multiple times, you only have to run nightpro once.
ffmpeg -r 32 -start_number <number> -i ./<folder>/G00%d.JPG -vcodec libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p <name>.mp4
-vcodec libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p ensures compatability with Quicktime
