Alright love slave, here is the short version of how I make sequences.
Scan in all the images or capture them from DV (although dv quality is sketchy and you need to run the interlace filter on the frames to clean them up a little). I normally use my slide scanner and then color correct the images, save them then start to compile them in one image. Drop opacity and do a really quick line up. Go back with the free-transform tool and rotate the images and skew them to make sure they all line up flush where I’m gonna gradient them together. Put quick masks on and removed up to/past (depending on your layer order) the image you wana keep. Brush size depends on what res I’m working at but use your judgment. After you get them all looking close and clean then go back and color correct again. Might have to nudge a couple layers to make it all line up perfectly. Link the layers together and save it. When you go to present it I would crop it down and change the size for the medium you are showing it on.
There is a longer version of that but with just that you should be able to get a style of your own, I generally do a lot more with a couple filters and more image adjustments but that should get it looking nice if you spend the time on it. This is some picture I did for calc class over spring break for extra credit. Little over compressed because I was trying to get it small enough to upload here but there is that blasted 30k rule. It turned out alright. Good luck with your’s
