make a time lapse movie using gpu and 14.04?

[Dave Stevens]

I expect to have a lot of still frames and would like to make a movie
from a specified sequence reasonably quickly. I'm currently using
ffmpeg which works fine and is flexible but fairly slow. Does anyone
know of a method that could use the GPU to speed up the process? 14.04.
I haven't yet set up the final system so I could get any card in
principle if there's one that's preferred.
