Import image sequence in QT doesnt import all images

I am trying to import 252 images in a sequence, but QT only imports the first 42.  I try importing from 43 on, but it only imports 43.  Then I try from 44 on and it works.  The only change is that the date taken changes from one day to the next at #44.  I have tried reexporting #42 and 43, and even the whole sequence, but it still fails.
I am using QT Pro 7 on a Windows 7 machine with plenty of memory.  Other sequences, some larger, work just fine.

Most likely cause is in the naming scheme you're using.
Something is different in the file name for #43 that is preventing it from being part of the entire sequence.

  • Premiere not giving "image sequence" option on file import

    Hello,
    I'm working on a new install of Premiere Pro 5.5 and I've run across a problem I've never encountered before. When I go to import an image sequence, Premiere is not giving me the "image sequence" checkbox at all.. it's not even there. I've tried two different file types (tiff and jpg) and still nothing. At the point all I can do is render a QT or something, which I rather not do at this point.
    Any thoughts?

    I've tried renaming the entire sequence, starting from zero, and also removing the _ in front of the frame numbers.. no luck so far.

  • Importing from SD card to iPhoto - not all images recognized

    Hi, I'd be really grateful for some help...
    I've got a Panasonic Lumix LX1 camera, with a 2GB SD card. When I play back the pictures on the card through the camera, there are 655 images. But when I've tried to import these images to iPhoto 6, the computer only recognizes 344 of these images.
    In my attempts to import, I've tried using both the camera itself, and a cardreader, to read the disk; and I've tried both importing the pictures directly into iPhoto, and also copying them across from the hard drive created by the camera/cardreader into a folder on my desktop. No joy. It will only let me have the 344.
    Can anyone shed some light on how I might be able to unlock and import the 311 unrecognized images into iPhoto?
    Many thanks!

    RCMA:
    Are there any movie files on the card? They can cause the import to stop. Launch Image Capture, located in the Applications folder, and then connect the camera. Now you'll be able to manually upload the files you want to a folder on the desktop and then import into iPhoto from there. While you're viewing in Image Capture see if you can determine which is #345, the one that stops the import.
    IMO it's better to manually upload to a folder on the Desktop and then into iPhoto to avoid issues that may occur with low battery stoppage, etc. that might corrupt the library. Also I recommend you do not let iPhoto delete the photos after the upload as there are too many reports of incomplete uploads (like yours) and complete erasures.

  • Importing MPEG 2 but sound doesnt import

    I am trying to import a MPEG 2 video file but only the video portion of it will import. The audio does not come in.
    I right clicked in the browser and selected import files and selected my MPEG 2 file. Am I doing something wrong?

    MPEG 2 files can't be used directly in Final Cut Pro.
    You need to convert them using [MPEG Streamclip|http://www.squared5.com] to an editable format such as a QuickTime .mov file using the DV codec.

  • How do I restore all images in a collection to original imported aspect ratio?

    Typically I select all images in a catalog, resize the first image to 640x480.  I then right click on the first image (all images are still selected) click on Develop Settings, Sync and choose to sync only the aspect ratio.  All images are then cropped to 640x480 like the first image, which I then export to a folder.
    I then need to restore all images to the original aspect ratio for building a slideshow to export to my website.  I've followed the same procedure i.e. selected all images, click on the first image, change aspect to original, right click on first image and sync aspect ratio for all images.
    The problem is that the rest of the images do not return to their original aspect ratio but revert to 4x6 aspect ratio instead of the original size when imported.  I've changed the lock to unlocked and tried both but still no result.  Now I have to select each image individually, open the crop dialog and choose custom to get it back to the imported aspect ratio.
    How do I batch restore all images in a collection to the aspect ratio when imported?

    Rotating an image is adjusting its crop rotation and crop size.  You originally said you wanted things back to import state which presumably was full resolution w/o any adjustments to ratio, size, or rotation.  If you are wanting to do things in the middle of your other processing I'm less sure what to tell you.
    Taking a crop that you have at 3:2 and setting it to 4:3 shrinks in the longer sides, and resetting the ratio to 3:2 shrinks down the shorter top and bottom--this is how it always works, because a crop box is not ever expanded by setting the ratio to something different, and changing the ratio back and forth like that makes the crop-box smaller and smaller. 
    Are you having an issue because you want to fiddle with the crop in the middle of other processing every time, or is this a special case because you've moved on in your processing after asking your question some time ago? 
    If you routinely need to do this, an easier way might be to export the images at the 3:2 crop, then reimport those JPGs, change the crop on those JPGs, only, then re-export them a second time, and be done with them.  This sounds like you're making proofs?
    If you are making proof-sized images at a different ratio?  Why not just export the 3:2 images at a smallish size, perhaps with a watermark and not have to worry about making them 4:3 ratio?
    Another alternative would be to print the images to JPGs instead of a printer, and set the paper size to a 4:3 ratio and turn on the Fill option--which will chop of the long sides automatically as it prints them.

  • PPRO CS5.5 - Default-Interprets ALL Image Sequences to 29.97Fps - with NO option to change that !

    Hi...
    Like the header says...
    I am working with 23.98 Image Sequences. When I import them, ppro sets the fps to 29.97. Does't matter what I do. I can only change it via the
    interprete footage dialog.
    In After Effects, there is a SMART preference to let AE know WHAT kind of image sequence the user imports,
    I was kind of hoping to find such in Premiere Pro.
    Any Ideas ?
    Thank You !

    Hi -
    and thank you for chiming in...
    I had already tried that and for some reason it did NOT take on the effect.
    I thought to myself, let me try and restart PPRO and see if it makes a difference.
    It did..
    Now it works, so I came back to report that.
    for some reason, now - I do NOT have to restart for that preference to take effect.
    Strange.. But it DOES work now -- GREAT !!!!

  • Jumpy playback from image sequences rendered in Apple Prores and then exported to h264

    I will start by saying I have been using FCP since 1.0 and am in no way new to this software, but this issue has me going crazy.
    First the Specs:
    MacPro 2 x 2.66 Quad cor Intel Xeon
    16 gig Ram
    OS 10.9.2
    FCP 7.0.3 (sorry but I am not a fan of FCP10 at all)
    In other words, a beast of a system that has played back everything I have ever built on it for years until now. So now for the issue: I work with an amazing 3D Max builder and we have created a building animation exported from that program into and image sequence ( we have tried JPG, TGA and PNG still all with the same effect). I open Quicktime 7 Pro, build the image sequence, save as .mov, import into FCP and drop it into my 1080p30 Apple Prores (HQ ... we also tried SQ) timelines. The timeline renders perfectly and I can play the video perfectly through my system out of Firewire 800 to my Motu V4HD device which then converts the signal to HDMI to my 55" LED TV. The video and playback is perfect.... until:
    If I try to play back the same exact time line into an exported video file, the file will play back with random jumpyness in it. I say random since you can play it back 10 times and it will hiccup during playback at different spots in the video. If you review every frame in the file though using Quicktime 10, 7 or VLC viewer, every frame is perfect. So, it must be the data rate right? Wrong. I have exported now to H264 MP4, M4V, MOV , ect, etc at different data rates from 4mb to 40 mb per second. They all have the same randow jumpyness to it. So it must be my computer right? Nope. I have a Macbook pro that is more powerful than this machine and I rebuild the file using the same method (something I have done a thousand times before) and the exported file does the same thing on that machine. I had my friend do it on his machine... same thing. ERRRR....
    We have even tried using After Effects and Premier to the same result. Rendered it straight from Quicktime Pro, same. Rendered it to 720p30, same. Render it to 24fps, same. I had another editor render it using whatever methods he wanted to use... same. Tried Compressor, SAME.  Tried Adobe Media Encoder, SAME......We even, god forbid, used a PC running Premier and built the image sequence and rendered to h264 at 30fps, 5mbs.... @#$@#$ SAME!
    We just remade the 3D Studio Max export into a 60fps animation since I thought that the individual frames we appearing too far apart and thus causing the jumpyness. That was causing the playback of the upclose objects flying across the screen fast to appear jittery, but not the random playback jumps. The 60fps did smooth out the animation greatly during fast flybys, but the playback jumps are still there in all players, QT, VLC, the web, etc.
    I was starting to think this issue is realted to Mavericks, but since the PC did the same thing that is not it either. I have linked a sample of the clip below exported to 720p30, 25mbs... something that is much smaller than the original and should playback smooth very easily on any of my systems.
    FYI: I have now opened numerous projects I have edited over the last few years and noticed that all of them are now jumpy, so this isn't just an image sequence issue. While the other projects don't use image sequences and instead are shot footage edited together, there is still the random jump (far less than the image sequence as you will see) but they are now there... ***? I have cleared preferences in FCP which helps for a short period of time, but once exported I get the same glitch.
    As I said... I am stumped... ANYONE have ideas for me to try?
    Here is a sample file for you all to see and please tell me if anyone does not see the issue after playing it several times in a row.
    www.media3lv.com/switch/NORTH-sample-720p30_25mb-sec.zip
    One last thing to note... my main goal for these videos is YouTube or Vimeo playback via our company website. I have a few other animations online right now using YouTube and the problem is also showing there. At first I thought it was just my videos, but I have looked at numerous YouTube videos now showing 3D animation and alot of them are jumpy.
    www.supernap.com/supernap-building-design.html
    www.supernap.com/supernap-tscif-exchange.html
    These don't show the issue as bad since the camera fly is much slower, but why is this occuring and is it coming from my source, or is this a known youtube issue? I can program this using out own modules, but YouTube and Vimeo allow for multiple resolutions and a checker script which makes it easier to share over all devices at all quality up to 1080p.
    Advice is welcome and appreciated?

    I have tried at actual, full screen, using 1080p30 size from the original compressed to 4mbs (something my system can handle without blinking), 720p30, etc. etc. etc.  Nothing stops the jumps. Even the activity monitor shows only 5%-15% processing being used by QT and/or FCP.
    I plan to pull my old G5 out of the closet, it runs 10.6.8 and is still rock solid for video editing in FCP7.  If it plays smooth on that 8 year old system then I know it's Mavericks. I'll try that tonight. It floors me though why the original 1080p30 will playback perfect via FCP and Motu, but once I turn of external monitoring and just try to play it via the preview monitor it is jumpy as **** and then the exported file does the same thing.  So strange.  I even deleted prefences of FCP and that does help with screen playback initially, but it always gets jumps in it after playing for a while.
    I knew I should not have started using Mavericks and I HATE FCP10.

  • How to apply animated effects to image sequences?

    I've heard many times that, if a certain effect isn't available in After Effects, "it's no problem", it can be added later in Photoshop.
    I understand that an image sequence can be created, imported in PS, the effect applied to all files then exported.
    What I don't get is how can someone animate such PS-based effects. Let's say I want the value of a certain parameter of that effect to follow a sine Bezier curve.
    How do I do that in PS?
    Thanks.

    Well...  Seems to me you could do at least SOME automation with scripting.  You could conceivably write a script that would drive whatever feature or plug-in you want to control across multiple images and feed slightly different parameters to it each time.  You'd have to get into the nuts & bolts a bit...  There's a scripting forum where they might be able to give you some additional ideas...

  • Animating image sequences

    Hi guys and girls,
    I'm a complete noob to AE and so have very little knowledge of what I need to do.  I'm sure the info is out there, and I've tried going through the help sections but when I do a search all I seem to get is info on adding layers and I don't think that's what I want!
    What I have and need help with is putting several image sequences together, and then adding individual images in between each sequence (if that makes sense).
    I rendered out an animation from Cinema 4D in groups of .tiff image sequences, I did it in groups as I have individual images with text on them that I want add  in between each group.  Each of the 10 groups of image sequences run at 30 fps and has anything from 100 - 250 frames totalling 1925 frames.  The images in the groups are numbered sequentially so if need be I could put all the images into one folder and open them all in one go, I just thought it would be easier for placing the individual images if they were broken up into groups.  The individual images that I need to add in between each group need to be visable for several seconds, just long enough for someone to read them.
    So my questions are, 1 - How do I connect all the groups together?  2 - How do I insert the individual images? and 3 - How do I get those individual images to stay visible long enough for people to read the text?
    I may need to add some sound to the animation at some point as well, but that's not definate yet!
    I think that's everything (I hope!)  Any help would be very much appreciated
    Cheers
    Jim

    So my questions are, 1 - How do I connect all the groups together?  2 - How do I insert the individual images? and 3 - How do I get those individual images to stay visible long enough for people to read the text?
    As Bogesian says, this may be best done in Premiere or another editing application.  If you do it in AE, you can import the image sequences as single pieces of footage, and the individual images as individual images.  Then you add the footage to an AE comp: the easiest way is to add the first image sequnce to the make comp icon at the bottom of the project window, let AE make the comp, and then change the comp's duration in the comp settings.  You then add the footage items to the comp, moving them as needed along the timeline.  You can trim the out points of the single images to the duration you want. 
    But there could be a more fundamental problem: 30 fps is VERY RARELY a valid frame rate, especially if it's going to video, Blu-Ray or DVD:  the proper frame rate is almost always 29.97.  If it's goes to the web ONLY -- no possible chance of ever going to video, Blu-Ray or DVD -- 30 would be okay.  You need to double-check your frame rates.
    And here are the tips on importing images or image sequences:

  • 3D Rotation Slider for image sequence

    I created a 3d model rotated it 360 degrees and exported it an image sequence. I would like to be able import the sequence in flash and rotate the image sequence 360 degrees by creating and dragging a slider.

    What part of what you want to do are you having a problem with?
    If you create a new movieclip symbol and try to import one of the images onto the stage while inside of it, then if the images are named as a sequence Flash should be able to detect this and ask if you want to import the whole sequence.  If you select yes then it will place the sequence along the timeline of your movieclip.
    For the the Slider, just bring one in from the components library and set it up such that its range and increments match the frames occupied by the images.

  • Time-lapse and Image Sequence issue (Possibly also Frame-Rate)

    So I'm in the process of making a time-lapse, and have batch edited and exported (in jpeg) 627 images.  My sequence settings are 23.976fps 1920x1080 (1080p).  Doing some quick math, 627 images at 24 frames a second should give me a little over 26 seconds.  However, I'm only getting a 20 second clip.  The settings on the clip are 29.97fps and 5184x3456 (I scale it down and use some keyframes to add some motion.)  So my question is is there a way to import an image sequence as 24 fps, rather than the default 30 that the clip is imported in?  Even when I put it the clip on the timeline and click "Keep sequence settings" it cuts it down to 501 frames, and I still only get 20 seconds worth of clip.   Thank you for your answers!

    I am in PAL land so I not that familiar with ntsc but I think the difference has to do with the 23.97.
    If you make a custom sequence you can set that to 24 fps exact.
    Import the jpegs as an image sequence. this means select the first image, check image sequence at the bottom of the window and hit OK.
    Also in the preferences under Media set the Indeterminate Media Timebase to 24.

  • QT Pro "Open Image Sequence" only grabs one image

    QuickTime Pro:

    (Actually, the frame rate request window may be flashing by quickly.)
    I have the image files numbered sequentially.
    Any ideas appreciated. On my previous laptop it worked fine !
    Thanks,
    David

    Hey there,
    Your problem is rather strange, I have not had this problem myself. I open sequences all the time with no hassles. I just tested it now with .png files which you've used, no issue. I'm on QT 7.4.1.
    I've also just updated to 7.4.5 on another Mac (G4, OSX 10.4.11), and it works fine. Have you asked around to see if anyone else is experiencing this issue?
    If it was easy enough to down grade to 7.2, perhaps you could try re-installing QT 7.4. If it doesn't work, just go back to 7.2. Though... I don't want to be the blame for your loss of another Pro code!!
    Good luck.

  • IMAGE SEQUENCE ISSUES

    Okay...I have sat here now for hours trying to figure this out and have gotten 0 percent closer to a resolution. I have NO CLUE what is happening and it is frustrating me. A while ago I had created a large video compiled of image sequences through tons of photos as you can see here:
    https://vimeo.com/33233916
    Now I go back to create something similar and for whatever reason all of my vertical photos are being stretched to fit the screen like a horizontal image...I can't do anything to fix it. I have tried keeping the height the same for both images, the width the same, etc. I have tried different aspect ratio in programs like iStopMotion and others, however Quicktime had worked great for me in the past when creating that other one. I have no clue why my verticals are being stretched. I have about 6,000 photos I need to compile into a sequence before the end of this week and nooooo clue how to get the verticals to just fit as they do in that video I linked above...they used to just fit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am currently on version 7.6.6 if that helps.

    It appears that something has been altered as to the manner in which images are being added to the QT 7 Pro player window using the "Open Image Sequence..." option. Images are normally suppsed to be added using the "Fit Within..." scaling routine but instead are now being added using a "Fit To..." ("Fill") scaling routine. Since the scaling feature is automatically called by the app during the opening of the images and is not a user accessible option, there is nothing you can do until or uless Apple QT technicians fix this bug. Suggest you and any other users having this same problem post QT Feedback reports to bring the problem to Apple's attention.

  • Image Sequence Problem

    I just upgraded to QT Pro so that I could do some image sequence stuff.
    I load a sequence, set the frame rate and get a white screen following a microsecond blip on the screen. I have tried with one, two, three etc images and the result is the same each time.
    The images I am trying to load are all jpeg straight from camera. File sizes are no greater than 11 megs.
    I have 4 gig of memory on a 2.8 iMac.
    Anybody have any clues?

    I found that reducing the size of the images to 6 inches wide in Photoshop CS3 allowed image sequencing to work. The ogiginal images were 65 inches wide. I left the resolution at 72 dpi. That gave a file size of about 363 kb instead of 11 megs. Now I need to go back and play with higher resolution to determine what the threshold is, where it stops working again.
