Add image sequence in Compressor 3.0.5?

I am trying to import still images and convert to a quicktime file to process my time-lapse photography. Can compressor 3.0.5 do this function?

Nick is right. QT7 is a better choice.
Make sure your images are numbered sequentially.
Open up QT7.
Select: File>Open Image Sequence
Import the files,
Select the Frame Rate
Select Export
Select Quicktime Movie then Options
Set the video codec and audio settings, etc.
Export.
Be happy.

  • Size of Add Image Sequence in Compressor is too small?

    Hello all,
    i tried to import an image sequence into Compressor (20 Tiff files sequentially numbered with 1920x1080 aspect ratio) so i can export it to Apple ProRes. I want to do this through compressor so as to be able to use the batch option in the future...
    Problem is, after i import the image sequence, in the inspector window under the A/V attributes tab i see encoded bounds: 68x40 and display bounds: 68x40 and the image appears to be 68x40 in pixel size. I tried to export the sequence to Apple Pro Res 1920x1080 to see if it was just the compressor preview that looked bad. Now i have an ugly 1920x1080 image that originates from a 68x40 image, You can imagine the pixel size!!!!!!
    Am i doing something wrong here? Is there a limit to what size of images can compressor handle?
    Thanks
    Tolis

    Well, i am replying to myself...
    my original tiff files were slightly longer than 1080 pixels wide (1128 pixels) and that is why Compressor could not work with them!!!!! Once i used a tiff file that was 1920x1080 all worked fine...
    Thread solved....

  • Exporting PNG Image Sequence in Compressor?

    Hi everyone!
    Can anyone help? Any Compressor pro's out there?
    I can successfully export sequences via Final Cut Pro using Quicktime conversion as .PNG Image Sequences retaining the alpha channel (millions+). However in Compressor the Image Sequence settings seem to ONLY support targa or tiff, IS there a way to export the image sequence using compressor as a alpha channel PNG!
    You can export the sequence as a .mov with the png codec.. but I must have it as the image sequence!
    Any ideas anyone?

    Sorry, but I have not been able to find an option for exporting image sequences with Alpha channel in Compressor either. I submitted a bug report about this a few months ago.
    Why do you need to use Compressor? If it is for deinterlacing or resizing, you could export from FCP using Compressor, and choose to export a QuickTime movie using the Animation codec at 100%. After that, you can export your Animation file to a PNG image sequence using QuickTime Pro.
    It is the only workaround I can think of at the moment.
    I would recommend submitting a bug report: http://www.apple.com/feedback/compressor.html

  • Add Image Sequence default frame rate

    Compresssor 3.5 appears to default to 24 fps when adding image sequences to the batch.
    Is it possible to change this default to 23.98 fps in a plist somewhere? I deal almost exclusively in 23.98 material so having to change this for EVERY image sequence I process is a pain.
    -Matt

    I'll try to re-formulate (I'm sorry, english is not my native language).
    What I do in Compressor:
    1) I import my image sequence
    2) set it at 25fps in the image sequence settings
    3) choose prores 25fps export (I created a prores preset at 25fps, as you suggested)
    And the resulting clip is okay.
    BUT
    I have many image sequences and it's too slow to manually interpret every one of them at 25fps. The problem is in point 2). Because there's no way to interpret all the image sequences at 25fps with just one click for all.
    I think it's the same with quicktime: you have to import every single image sequence, select the frame rate, export... one at a time.
    I will have a look at mpeg streamclip.
    thanks for answers

  • Compressor outputs stuttery QT's from image sequence

    Hey all,
    I'm having an issue when trying to batch image sequences from compressor. The resulting QT is 'stuttery' and 'jumpy'. The source image sequences are .tga's and the destination formats are ProRes 422 HQ @23.976/ 23.98
    The attributes pane recognizes the seq as progressive and 23.98 before putting my settings on and I've not enabled frame controls.
    I did have this working at one point during testing, and I remember having to do something mundane to each image sequence so that it came out alright - I thought it was choosing the 23.98 fps setting in the attributes inspector, but that doesn't seem to be doing anything.
    This is on a mac pro1.1, quad 3ghz and 12 gb ram.
    Any questions or help would be grteatly appreciated-
    Thanks all!

    It's perfect when I put it through FCP: as was the previous workflow. It'd just be a heck of a lot easier to batch all the shots I deal with ^^
    I think that re-selecting the 23.98 in the atributes window for each image sequence seems to get it. Any other ideas?- it'd be great if I didn't have to. boy- I sound lazy
    Thanks a bunch!

  • Compressor 3.0.5 Image Sequence import missing

    I'm looking at this article

    Make sure your images are numbered sequentially.
    Open up QT7.
    Select: File>Open Image Sequence

  • Import image sequences

    I work in a post production enviroment and am finding it problematic that i cant import image sequences into compressor of FCP. I know the work around to import into quicktime and export a reference movie. But this is both time consuming and anoying is there a way to do this otherwise ??

    I do this all the time. Render your image sequence to a separate folder for each pass, use a numbering fomat like bg_0001.tif, the go to File>Import and select any file in the folder and check the Image Sequence box and import.

  • Changing the frame size of a Quicktime image sequence

    I need to create an image sequence of a short piece of video. I know how to make an image sequence using the Quicktime conversion, but I can't get it to export in widescreen 1920 x 1080. It keeps exporting the frame size of the images as 1440 x 1080. How to you change the frame size?

    the original clip has a frame size of 1440 x1080 hence that is how it exports ... you must set the pixel aspect ratio in your image processing app to 1440x1080 then the footage should appear normal.
    (in Photoshop that's the HDV Widescreen 1.333 pixel aspect ratio setting)
    edit: or you could export a tiff image sequence using compressor and do the resize in there

  • Sending image sequence job to compressor in command line : how to set the framerate?

    Hello,
    In Compressor, when you import a image sequence, it's possible to set the framerate and add an audio file before choosing a preset and lauching the encoding task.
    I want to dlo the same thing with command line. I know how to send a compressor job with command line, but no how to add theses settings.
    In the compressor command line help, we've got this :
    Job Info: Used when submitting individual source files. Following parameters are repeated to enter multiple job targets in a batch
              -jobpath <url> -- url to source file.
                                               -- In case of Image Sequence, URL should be a file URL pointing to directory with image sequence.
                                               -- Additional parameters may be specified to set frameRate (e.g. frameRate=29.97) and audio file (e.g. audio=/usr/me/myaudiofile.mov).
    So there are also framerate and audio parameters in command line but i've no idea how to write the command line with theses parameters
    Here is an example of command line for Compressor (by Apple) :
    ./Compressor ‑clusterid tcp://127.0.0.1:51737 ‑batchname myBatch ‑jobpath /Volumes/Source/ShortClips/NTSC24p.mov ‑settingpath /Users/stomper10/Library/Application\ Support/Compressor/PhotoJPEG.setting ‑destinationpath /Users/machinename/Movies/myDestinationFilename.mov.
    Thank you for your help!

    You can see in the command sh running-config command
    show running-config : Displays the current access point operating configuration
    Use the guest-mode SSID configuration mode command to configure the radio interface (for the specified SSID) to support guest mode. Use the no form of the command to disable the guest mode.
    [no] guest-mode .
    Here is the guideline for usage
    The access point can have one guest-mode SSID or none at all. The guest-mode SSID is used in beacon frames and response frames to probe requests that specify the empty or wildcard SSID. If no guest-mode SSID exists, the beacon contains no SSID and probe requests with the wildcard SSID are ignored. Disabling the guest mode makes the networks slightly more secure. Enabling the guest mode helps clients that passively scan (do not transmit) associate with the access point. It also allows clients configured without a SSID to associate.
    Examples
    This example shows how to set the wireless LAN for the specified SSID into guest mode:
    AP(config-if-ssid)# guest-mode
    This example shows how to reset the guest-mode parameter to default values:
    AP(config-if-ssid)# no guest-mode

  • PLease, Help: Compressor 4 not recognize image sequence (Tiff or Jpg) for create a video.

    Dragging or open it from menu, Compressor not recognize image sequence. In the menu doesn´t appear anything.
    THe only way I Found ti was take all the image sequences in Final Cut X, changing duration for one frame, and exporting to compressor for create Pro Res.
    This image are from RAW fotograms and I exported from photoshop.
    I need to use compressor because I have to convert thousands of frames.
    (It´s incredible and sad, how Da Vinci Resolve is working better andgetting people from Final Cut... I love Apple).

    By menu, you mean you tried to add the image sequence to a batch lby clicking on the plus sign icon and it didn't give you a browsing window, or what…?

  • Compressor 3.5 and Importing Image Sequences

    Hi,
    The marketing says,
    ++++++++++++++++++++
    Image sequence support
    Graphics compositing applications and film workflows often use an image sequence format for cross-platform compatibility as well as to keep quality high. Image sequences treat each video or film source frame as a still image.
    Compressor 3.5 imports image sequences in standard formats including TIFF, Targa, DPX, and OpenEXR. You can specify an audio file to incorporate with the image sequence as you import it — for example, the original field-recorded audio for a clip that was converted to a sequence.
    ++++++++++++++++++++
    But exactly how is this done with Compressor 3.5? Don't see it in the wizard or Add File dialogue boxes.
    thanks!

    Oops, just found it.
    Job > New Job With Image Sequence...
    However, I can import a SGI file on it's own, but not with the above menu selection - the files are gray'd out.

  • Compressor 4 drops frames when converting 25fps image sequences

    I am using Compressor 4 to batch convert 30fps and 25fps 1080 tiff image sequences to Uncompressed 10bit 422.
    I have created custom presets for both 30fps and 25fps.
    The 30fps conversions are fine.
    But the 25fps conversions have missing or dropped frames and the resulting clip is too short. For example a 106 frame image sequence becomes 88 frames when converted to Uncompressed 10bit 422 QT. (which suspiciously similar to the 83.33% difference between 25 & 30 fps)
    I have double checked my setting and can not find a problem (see grab)
    Any suggestions much appreciated.

    Update: I have found a work around for this problem, but it is not pretty!
    By using the 30fps setting even for 25fps sequences, every frame gets included in the resulting QuickTime. But it plays at the wrong frame rate, so I then use Cinema Tools to change the frame rate to 25fps. Then everything is fine.
    As Compressor 4 has been around for while, I can't believe this hasn't come up before!

  • How to add audio to image sequence?

    I've imported a Photoshop image sequence into FCP X 10.1.1.  Dropped it on the timeline, created a compound clip.  So far I can't figure out how to add audio of any kind.  I've tried starting over, making sure properties had audio setting enabled.  No change though.  No matter what I try, no audio tab in the inspector.  What am I missing?
    Thanks,
    Michael

    Are you importing an audio file that is seperate? Otherwise it is attached to your video. in the timeline, choose expand audio & video. You can import almost any format. Import it into the same event that you are in - a song from your desktop or from your folder where you copied all your contents from your camera card or music from ITunes (in which case you use the audio tab on the far right of the timeline UNDER THE INSPECTOR).
    How did you import your media?:

  • Feature Request: Please allow us to merge audio with image sequence in AME.

    So far the only programs that allow this (that I'm aware of anyway) are the old version of QuickTime Pro, and Apple's Compressor. I simply want to add an image sequence to AME, and combine an audio track to that image sequence for export. This would save me an extra step. 80% of my work begins and ends in After Effects. I do very little video editing, so most of my exports are rendered from AE and then exported from Quicktime or Compressor to whatever file my clients request (Most often ProRes for a master version, and h264 or x264 Quicktime files for the web).
    Is it possible we might see this feature added anytime soon? Thanks!

  • Exporting image sequence (tga filetype)

    Hello,
    I'm using Apple® Motion 5.1 on Apple® OS X 10.9.1 Mavericks.
    I can only export a project as image sequence with the following filetypes:
    DPX Image
    JPG Image
    OpenEXR
    Photoshop® File
    PNG Image
    TIFF File
    How I can export the project as TGA filetype image sequence?
    Thanks.

    This is correct, Targa is not an option for export from share in Motion.  My first question would be, is TGA an absolute requirment or preference?  PSD,TIFF or EXR should pretty much be equivelent and and just as well supported in any app that reads image sequences.  If TGA is absolutely required, and you have Compressor, you can use Send To Compressor for share.  Then add an image sequence preset.  Inside compressor you can change the file format to TARGA.
    If you don't have Compressor, and again, TGA is an absolute requirment. I'd recomend exporting to tiff and then using a third party app to convert to TGA.
