Converting images to video

Hi...everyone
I am writting a program to capture my desktop and save into images of gif/jpg type and now i need to to convert all the images into a video file so that i can produce an video file at the end..
Pls guide me how to do it ..
Thanks in advance...

You'll want to look into JMF - Java Media Framework and the Java Image I/O APIs.

I'm not sure that JMF can actually convert a series of Image objects into a JMF Video object. But it's a start.

  • Convert and save video, audio, and images to more than a hundred standard f

    I bought Quicktime pro because it said it could "Convert and save video, audio, and images to more than a hundred standard formats". I have .mov that i took and want to change to an .avi
    I feel stupid but how do i do it? shouldn't there be a "convert" or "save as" button?

    AVI isn't dead, it remains the ONLY format in which any real editing can be performed (ie filters and colors and zooms etc). That said, converting FROM any compressed format like .mov back to an uncompressed format will not restore the information lost in the original compression conversion. Like the man said, you probably won't like the result. If you want to make an AVI to edit artistically, you'll need to go back to the source and re-record it to make an original uncompressed avi (example I use 'DVD to AVI converter' software to recode my homemade DVDs to a huge uncompressed AVI, then play with cutting and cropping and zooming and special effects and color filters, etc in a program such as VirtualDub, an THEN open in QT Pro to convert to MOVs to share).

  • I finished making an animated .gif image in FireWorks. My question is, how do I convert it into video so that when I edit video, that every video editing program recognizes it? Long story short, How do I convert animated .gif files into video formats?

    I worked in Adobe FireWorks to make the animated .gif. What program do I use to convert the file from .gif to any video format: .mp4, .m4v, .avi, .wmv, etc. I want to convert it into video format, so that QuickTime Player plays the video, I can insert it into iMovie '11 and edit, and also insert it into Final Cut Pro X and edit video.

    Thanks for getting back with me so promptly.  It has taken me this time to connect with the proper people to find out the information you requested.
    The camera used to film the class was a Panasonic AG-HMC40P, owned by a local cable TV station; they use Kodak video encoding software, and a SD card was used to store the video.   The file extension is .mts, and the mime file is MPEG 2 transport.  He said I probably need an AVCHD converter, and the Mac app store lists 8 of those options, 4 free and 4 for up to $9.99.  He said I'll also need a converter for later plans of posting on YouTube or on the website, and while some of those in the app store might work for the later needs, he knows one app called "Compressor" that would work for the uploading later.  He also suggested I could try renaming the .mts file to .MP2T, but he wasn't sure that would work.
    They don't work with Macs at the studio, but I had thought I could have some lessons there in editing, and apply what I learned to my iMac and iMovie.
    First, though, I have to be able to see it and review it!
    Thanks again!

  • Video Format Total Solution: How to Convert and Edit Video on Windows/Mac

    More and More video formats are coming out with different video encoders and it makes our spare time more and more colorful. However, it is not to say that there is no problems. Actually, different video formats make it difficult to share video with others, even your own camcorder and iPod. Is there an easy way to convert videos effectively. Yes, there is.
    In this article, I will show you guys how to convert videos on windows and mac.
    Part 1. How to Convert and Edit Videos on Windows
    For Windows users, you need a Video Converter(http://www.aiseesoft.com/total-video-converter.html) to do that for you.
    Here I use Aiseesoft Total Video Converter(http://www.aiseesoft.com/total-video-converter.html)
    Step 1: Download and install Aiseesoft Total Video Converter
    After you download it to your computer, double click it and it is really easy to install.
    You just need to click “next” and it will complete it in seconds. It will automatically run after installation.
    http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/total-video-converter/screen.jpg
    Step 2: Load Video
    Click “Add File” to find the video that you want to convert and click “open”. It will be loaded automatically.
    Step 3: Select the target to decode
    In the “Profile” drop download list you can find your target according the usage of your output video, such as if you want to put the video on your iPod touch, you can select the “iPod” in the first list and “iPod touch 2 MPEG-4 640*480(*.mp4)” in the second list.
    Step 4: Set Advanced Parameters
    After you select the right output profile, you can click “setting” button to set your advanced parameters. You can adjust video and audio settings separately. In video section, you can change “video encoder”, “resolution”, “frame rate”, “video bitrate”In audio section, you can change “audio encoder”, “sample rate”, “channel”, “audio bitrate”If you want to save this profile and settings and use it next time you can click “save as” button to give a name to it. And the next time you want to use it you can find it in the profile list named “user defined”.
    Step 5: Choose a Destination
    To browse and find a output folder for your output files or just the default one.
    Finally, Click “Convert” button to begin your conversion, here in the converting
    interface you can choose “shut down the computer when conversion complete” or “open output folder when conversion complete” or you just do not choose neither one.
    Tips: How to Edit the Output Video
    This video converter is also a video editor, you can use it to edit your output video as follows:
    http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/total-video-converter/effect.jpg
    1. Effect:
    You are allowed to adjust the “Brightness”, “Contrast”, “Saturation” and you can choose the “deinterlacing” to make the video more enjoyable.
    2. Trim:
    In “Trim” section you can pick up any part of the video to convert.
    There are two ways to select the part of the video you want. One is set the start and end time in the box. The other one is to drag the start and end button in the processing bar.
    3. Crop:
    This function allows you to choose a certain play area to convert. That means you can choose a part of the screen you like to convert. For example, you just like the tv in the middle of the screen, then you can drag the frame around the preview window to select the tv and the output preview will show you the output video.In this section you can also choose the “zoom mode”, such as “keep original”, “full screen”, “16:9”, “4:3”.
    4. Watermark
    In the section, you can add a watermark on the output video to show people something, such as your name, website, studio name or other things. The watermark could be words and picture. You can adjust the transparent of the watermark easily to make it more beautiful.
    Part 2. How to Convert Video on Mac
    This time you need a Video Converter for Mac(http://www.aiseesoft.com/video-converter-for-mac.html)
    Step 1: Add File
    Click “Add File” button to load the video you want to converter
    http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/mac-video-converter/steps.jpg
    Step 2: Choose profile and adjust settings
    You can find your output video format from a drop-list called “Profile”You can also adjust the specific settings of the output video, such as “Resolution”, “Bitrate”, “Encoder” and so on.

  • E71 Gallery Images and Video Clips

    Hi there,
    last night I discovered that I am now no longer able to view any images or video clips in Gallery. I had taken some photos over the past few days in various conditions to test the camera out. I went back in to review, which I was able to do only days earlier and now it just sort of hangs and no images are displayed. I can exit out, but it wont show even the preinstalled images. The same thing happens with video clips.
    Has anyone else came across thie problem and/or have a solution?

    Nokia phones are unable to play MP4 files, or any other video file with the exception of Real Video files.  The video file MUST be packaged thru Real Player.  1 of 100 MP4 files will play, but typically the phone CANNOT even see that the MP4 file is on your memory card.  
    The issue is a problem with the firmware on the phone,  You can view the MP4 files on all phones and all computers, but not Nokia.  Nokia is history, yet they keep building phones that look new and have new features, but they only work with antiquated files formats.  Furthermore
    the features that actually work are typically crippled by patent infringment issues.
    The Nokia suite will not work with windows.  Typically Nokia suite will open and freeze.  Again a software issue totally ignored by Nokia, because selling a new phone is not contigent on making all the features work.  They proudly list the features on the package, but for the most part the features you paid for are not going to work correctly, and most often not at all.
    To get a video file to to work on the E71, your best bet is to take the loss, throw the phone in the garbage and by a different brand.  If you insist on getting videos to play on the E71 disaster, make sure to run your files thru Real Player and convert to a '.RV' file.  The format is ancient, but they will work most of the time.  The file size is massive compared to todays standards as well, so buy a massive memory card, but remember the E71 has a tiny limit of 8 gig.  You can then use file manager on your computer to transfer the files to your memory card on the phone.  DO NOT try to use nokia software with Windows to transfer files, simply put, you will waste hours, and in the long run it will work about 10% of the time at best.
    Nokia has been on the brink of bankruptsy for a while, and it will not be long now.

  • Open source image, audio, video hosting - MediaCrush

    Hey guys! I've been building MediaCrush over the past few months, with my friend (and fellow Arch user) Jose Diez, and several other open-source contributors. It hosts video, audio, images, vectors - over 500 different file formats are supported. You can upload almost anything (like a mp3, flac, mp4, webm, avi, bmp, svg, cr3...) and it'll be converted (losslessly where possible) to browser-friendly formats. You get a link to share, like this: https://mediacru.sh/Fx73lJhU0_Id
    The site is completely open source. You can run your own clone of MediaCrush locally with the help of the detailed instructions in the README. Pull requests are welcome, too, so you can help make it better if you please. It's written in Python and it's built on the shoulders of giants like ImageMagick and ffmpeg. Our whole shop is Arch - our dev machines are Arch, and all of the production servers (web servers, processing servers, and storage servers) are running Arch.
    ✓ Share images, audio, video, vectors
    ✓ Super fast hosting
    ✓ Hotlinking/embedding
    ✓ Create albums of media
    ✓ Keep track of files you've uploaded (optional)
    ✓ Privacy-first data policies (link)
    ✓ Excellent public API (link)
    ✓ Entirely open source
    ✓ HTTPS only
    ✓ Ad-free
    You can upload files right away at https://mediacru.sh, or set up your own instance to host files on. Feel free to hop into the IRC channel for a chat, too: #mediacrush on irc.freenode.net. There are a couple of other cool things that you might like. For example, MediaCrush-cli lets you upload files from the comfort of your favorite shell.
    $ mediacrush --album *.jpg # example usage
    You can find it in the AUR as mediacrush-cli. There are also browser extensions that make it easy to rehost images around the web: Firefox, Chromium (both are open source, of course 1, 2). I also have a little script that uploads screenshots via scrot straight to MediaCrush.
    Here are some example URLs to play with: Video, or audio, or a GIF (we convert those to video, makes them load faster), or how about an album?
    Let me know what you think! I hope you like it.

    practice, but of course it totally breaks on pixel art.
    You're absolutely right. The reason we decided to convert GIF to video is because the majority of GIFs are sourced from video, and GIF is a poor choice for that kind of media. However, GIF is well suited to pixel art. The original GIF doesn't go away when you upload - if you want to host GIFs on MediaCrush like that, I suggest hotlinking straight to it: https://mediacru.sh/1hBjPzWZGy6m.gif. That being said, we strive to make the conversion as close as possible to the original, and I feel that in both cases, the final result is close enough to give the general idea, and then you get the original GIF when you click "Download", so it's suitable for sharing.
    Yes, I agree that it is quite good quality, the problem only arises when the output must be 100% accurate as with pixel art.
    It's good to know that the original does not go away.. Especially for formats like GPL, this is quite helpful.
    Files are run through detect, which determines what kind of file they are, collects some metadata, and selects a processor. Processing is distributed, which is accomplished through Celery (with Redis as a broker).
    I see, excellent summary. With the help of that, I have written a GPL detector (which maybe doesn't work fully, I had no idea whether simply open()ing the file would be okay with your architecture):
    def detect_gpl(path):
    # XXX don't know how to access path. Is standard open() ok?
    with open(path, 'r') as f:
    lines = [f.readline().rstrip() for v in range(3)]
    if (lines[0] != 'GIMP Palette' or
    (not lines[1].startswith('Name: ')) or
    (not lines[2].startswith('Columns: '))):
    return None
    return {
    'type': 'application/x-gimp-palette',
    'extra': None,
    'flags': None,
    Haven't written rendering code yet, but I think imagemagick can do the job; it would probably be possible to generate an XPM directly in Python code, that ImageMagick could then convert.
    Regarding the other formats you mentioned, could you offer some test files, and a general idea of what they are and how we might go about detecting them and supporting them?
    Yeah, I'll provide some shortly. You may not want to support them all, but here's a summary of what they are:
    * GPL : Gimp Palette. Used by GIMP (duh), Inkscape, Mypaint, Scribus ... most OSS graphics apps. Identified as above (well, my routine above is actually fairly paranoid -- just checking that the first line content equals 'GIMP Palette' is normally enough to detect it). Sample files here.
    * ora: OpenRaster. 'Generic layered image format', hopefully will become a standard for layered raster graphics interchange. MyPaint's native format, supported by GIMP and Krita. Convertable to PNG using calligraconverter[1].
    * kra: Krita's native format. Convertable to PNG using calligraconverter[1].
    * xcf, xcf.gz, xcf.bz: GIMP's native format. Convertable to PNG using xcf2png (from 'xcftools' package)
    * ase : probably don't bother -- this is Aseprite's native format, which is not particularly common in the wild. I don't know of a tool that converts it. I just tried it for testing's sake.
    * webp: Google's WebP format. Already handled, but you seem to currently convert it to a video even if the image is static.
    [1] Available in the package 'calligra-extras'
    You're welcome to submit pull requests; you should join the IRC channel to participate in dev chatter. Thanks for the feedback!
    Thanks, I'll look at doing that once I'm familiar with the system.

  • How do i blend image and video on premier?

    Hello Everyone
    I'm trying to add a video onto an image on Premier. I want the image to be still and the video to play in the background. How do I make an image and video blend together in Premier?
    Any tips/effects to make this look more interesting? for my project I'm trying to add a disturbing footage from the news onto a landscape photograph.
    I'm using pro 5 on an Imac
    Thanks in advance

    Video on track one.  Image on track two.  Use the motion property to locate and size the image.

  • How can I display three images in video rate succession (60 Hz)?

    For a structured illumination microscope application, I have developed a VI that creates three images and displays them in rapid succession (as fast as the loop will go) on a second monitor.
    From the naked eye it's pretty apparent that the loop is not displaying the images at video rate.  Is there a way (perhaps with some sort of buffer) to get them to display faster?  Is WinShow simply not going to be fast enough, and if not, what's an alternative method of displaying the images?  If it helps, the images need only be displayed once each (the loop was just for testing).
    Also, what is a way to measure the frame rate output of the images?
    (sorry for the sloppy code, new to LabView)
    Thanks,

    Hello,
    Why don't  you try drawing one window, call IMAQ WindShow once outside of the loop, then redraw that window each iteration within the loop.  Hopefully this stops the flutter of the window.  You can build a 3 element array of the 3 IMAQ images then use an index array to alternate through which image you want to be redrawn into the single window.  The constant calling of IMAQ WindShow seems messy.

  • Tried to reinstall iPhoto library from external hard drive, it shows that the photos and events are there but there are no thumbnails and if you click on an image or video nothing comes up.

    My hard drive crashed recently and we took it to apple to get repaired. The apple employees said that they would have to replace the hard drive but they didn't have the equipment to get the data off my hard drive. So I took it to a computer store who had the right equipment after a month and a half of waiting they finally got all the data off my hard drive and put it on an external hard drive (Seagate Expansion Portable Drive). I then took it back to apple who replaced the hard drive. Now I'm in the process of reinstalling everything. I have never done a Time Machine back up or backed my laptop up to . Which I now will do very often once I've reinstalled everything. I have reinstalled all of my desktop images and folders as well as my iTunes library with no issues. However when i went to reinstall my iPhoto library it came up blank. I then Rebuilt the library several times and this was the result.
    It shows that the photos and events are there but there are no thumbnails and if you click on an image or video nothing comes up.
    Please help i have three years worth of images from holidays on here and would be devastated if i lost them.

    iPhoto cannot find the thumbnails or the original pictures.
    Go to your iPhoto Library in the Pictures Folder.
    Right-click on it and from the resulting menu, choose 'Show Package Contents'.
    This will bring you inside the iPhoto Library package. There you should see a Folder called Masters. Within that, there should be folder containing your actual photos.
    Are they there?

  • Error while converting Image -to- PDF and then to PDF/A

    Hi,
    I'm trying to convert a Image format(JPEG,bmp,tiff) to PDF and then to PDF/A. I could able to convert Image to PDF successfully.

In other words, this function does not convert any input PDF to PDF/A, but only those PDFs generated from an XFA template which does not include any static PDF content as a background."

    Do I need to point iPhoto to this new location?
    Thanks!

    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
    Assuming a Managed Library:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • Resized images and video seam blurred in motion 4...

    Hello,
    I don't know if my problem is a bug or a stupid mistake I did, or something basic I haven't understood about motion, but here it is:
    I had to edit today a project I created in september 2009 with motion 3. (I installed 2 weeks ago motion 4). The project is made of images and text. When I opened the old project the images looked ok but seamed blurred although the render settings are at best quality.
    I then made an experiment and created a new project in Motion 4 and imported one image, and when I put the quality at best, again this image look unfocused. I would probably not have noticed the problem and thought that the problem comes from the image or from the capabilities of motion, if I didn't have that old video done in motion 3 with the exact same images in the exact same size in perfect crisp quality...
    I did a research in forums, but haven't found any one with a similar problem. People usually have pixelated images because they didn't put the best render quality...
    I then tried to test this on a different computer with motion 4: same problem. I tried all the settings I could find in Motion, but still no result. I trash the preferences, I repaired the permission of my mac, I reinstalled motion 4, tried several images format and size but still no result.
    I noticed that the problem occurs when I resize an image or when I resize a video. At 100% I get perfect quality, but when I resize them, they look blurred. Anything that requires a render seam to be a little blurred when the render quality is set to best. It seams like the anti-aliasing is working so well that it blurs everything... If I put the quality at normal settings, the elements that have been resized look sharp but pixelated...
    I haven't tried to test all this again in motion 3 because I don't have access to any computer that still have that version installed. And I haven't phoned applecare yet because they are closed right now in my country, but I will phone them tomorrow morning and let you know if I get any result with them.
    I really hope I simply forgot something obvious, or maybe there is a new or old setting in motion 4 that I don't know about or haven't understood properly...
    please help me
    Louie
    ps: My version of Motion is French, so I might not use the right english words used in the english version of Motion.

    Thanks for responding.
    I'm of course sizing my picture down. The project I was working on yesterday that helped me notice the problem is 300x300 pixels and the images are around 500x1000 pixels, scaled down to around 20%.
    I haven't notice today that the problem occurs in other project as well. Before I was not looking in detail at the quality, and if no one tells you about it, you won't notice it. But right now all my old projects done in Motion 3, once opened in Motion 4 seam to have that blurry effect on any image or video that is scaled down.
    I understand that Motion might maybe not be very good at scale down things, and might do it less perfetly then Photoshop. But what is odd is that all my old video exported when I had Motion 3 have sharp perfect scaled down images comparred to what I get today in Motion 4.
    The blur I'm speaking about is very light. You won't notice it easily unless you have an old version of the same video to compare it with. But in the project I was working yesterday at 300x300 pixel, the difference was really very obvious, because at this size every detail counts.
    My idea to solve my problem temporarly was to change my Motion project settings to triple its original size (from 300x300 to 900x900) and blow up everthing 300%, export the video at 900x900 and then scale it down through Quicktime instead of Motion at 300x300. This worked and my images are as sharp as they should be. This project is short and light, so I didn't mind doing this conversion, but when I will work with projects that need more render time, it's not a productiv way to work!
    I noticed another odd thing about the problem, I hope I will explain this clearly by describing 3 situations:
    1. I create in Motion 4 a new project with any preset.
    2. I import an image or a video
    3. I scale it down, by pulling one corner (=> the image or video becomes blurred)
    4. In the properties inspector I type the word "100" to get it back to 100%
    => the image is still blurred, it is difficult to see, but when I import again the same image and put it next to it you can see a difference althought both image are at 100%!!!
    or
    1. I create in Motion 4 a new project with any preset.
    2. I import an image or a video
    3. I scale it down, by pulling one corner (=> the image or video becomes blurred)
    4. In the properties inspector I click on the arrow in the top right corner of that reverts to the original settings the image or video
    => the image is perfect
    or
    1. I create in Motion 4 a new project with any preset.
    2. I import an image or a video
    3. I scale it down, by typing any number in the properties inspector (=> the image or video becomes blurred)
    4. In the properties inspector I type the word "100" to get it back to 100%
    => the image is perfect
    So it seams that my problem occurs even at 100% but only if the image has first been modified in its size by pulling one corner and than put back to 100% through the properties inspector...
    hmmmm
    very odd.
