Is Vegas brawny enough to handle 20,000 stills?

I'm trying to create a time-lapse piece from 20,000 or so still images, all JPEG files of 60K size or smaller. When I try to add all these images to a Vegas project, it just hangs.

Am I asking too much of my beloved Vegas? Must I render sequences of 1,000 images at a time?

Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Scott....

I really am going to have to learn some Visual Basic or Javascript one of these days. Hate to admit it but my programming language is limited to COBOL, FORTRAN, ASSEMBLER, and in the PC world, just plain old BASIC.

That's just a BATCH file - i.e. DOS. No Java and no Basic used.

Thanks Ed,

I know it is just a batch file, but are these merely DOS commands? I just can't remember the name of the "language" that is used to write the program (script)....

Yes, those commands are ALL part of DOS.
