quicktime pro timelapse tips

Hi. I'm new to MAC, Quicktime and I want to start working with video for fun. I have a set of timelapse pics that I've already downloaded to iPhoto. There are around 100 pics. These pics are in an event that has other pics. I want very much to make a video of this sequence of pics.

I learned that there's an "import sequence" command in QTime.

I didn't find a way to import only the pics I want from the event. The best thing would be to create a new album in iPhoto and then use the import sequence command? Or should I export the pics from iPhoto to a folder in MAC and so on?

Since I have a feeling I'll start working with a large volume of files, I'd like to know what's the smartest way to manage them for making videos, maybe editing later, deleting and so on.

regards

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Export the photos you want to use at the target dimensions desired to a separate folder. Then use the "Open Image Sequence" option to select the first image in your sequence and select an appropriate playback frame rate at which to load the entire sequence to the QT 7 Pro player.
