How to Make a Movie File From A Sequence of Frames
From a Windows PC:
There are several ways to make a movie from an image sequence. Adobe After Effects is made for that kind of thing. It is expensive though. Here are a couple of links describing how to do it with other Windows and Linux tools.

From a Mac:
Using Quicktime Player 7
Quicktime Player 7 is the older version of Quicktime Player for Mac. It has more capabilities than the dumbed-down current version. Your computer probably already has it -- look in your ‘Utilities’ folder. You can get to the Utilities folder from the Finder by using the ‘Go’ menu at the top of the screen.
1 Open Quicktime Player 7.
If you don’t have Quicktime Player 7, you can download it for free.

2 Select ‘Open Image Sequence’
from theFile Menu.
3 Locate the exported frames in your Dropbox folder or in the ‘_movie_export’ folder you saved from iTunes in the steps above. Click ‘Open’.
4 Find the first frame in the sequence, usually ‘frame0000.png’. Click ‘Open’.
5 Choose a frame rate for your movie. usually the same rate you chose when exporting.
6 Voila! There’s your movie. You can now use the File menu options ‘Save As’, ‘Export’, or ‘Export for Web’ to save the movie in a format of your choice.
(I am not sure but you may have to pay for Quicktime Pro to be able to export in multiple formats).
