I have a one-hour sunset that I want to compress into 15 seconds. I've
tried simply dragging the clip to compress it using the Rate Stretch
tool, but the resulting image seemed to have a very noticeable drop
in quality (perhaps due to the method used by the software to render
the time- compressed clip).

Are there better ways to do this? I thought about exporting all the
images and only re-importing every 240th image, but that means
working with 108,000 images so I hope there's a way to avoid doing
this manually.

I've done exactly this (speeding up sunsets). The way I did it was,
rather than speed it up all at once, doing nested clips, each sped up
a little. I didn't notice any significant quality loss by doing it
this way.

Good idea. I'll give it a try.

I'll probably have to re-shoot the whole thing, though. It was so windy
that day that the tripod moved just enough to notice when you speed up
the footage. Also, I mis-judged the f-stop setting and the footage is a
little too dark (any advice, guys?). Maybe I'll forget the ND filter this
time too.

Oh joy, another hour pacing in the snow...
