Lots of examples out there, and a bit of trial and error and you've got your picture.There is a program called "motion". Whilst originally designed for motion detection it's perfectly capable of doing time lapse and generating video files automatically.
Apparently OpenShot can do this too - as well as speed up/slow down sequences, etc. I have spent some time playing with in in the past few days - my latest effort is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5zrgEDsxSQ&feature=youtu.be
However my camera (Pentax DSLR) will do time-lapse too, and assemble a movie all on its own.. Maybe that's another option, but potentially more expensive...
