Exactly what are these images?


Have you had scans of a few separate images made or have you got scans of every frame of the film?


If the latter, assuming they are named/numbered in order, you could import them normally and put them sequentially into the timeline.


As there may be countless thousands involved, it could prove a bit awkward!


People in this link have suggested FFmpeg and Compressor as being suited to the task.

I would go to a digital conversion store and have them digitize your Super 8

film into an actual movie. Having to work with 100's or 1000's of separate

frame images is unnecessary.


However, you could use iMovie. You could put a group of images, say 400,

into a project and share it out into a clip. Keep repeating the process until

you have numerous movie clips that you can import into a project and share out

as a movie.
