File Out Tiff Image Sequence

Hello! Can anyone recommend/explain the correct settings in the File Out node to output a TIFF Image Sequence?
Thanks!

Wow, I just figured out the Shake problem. First off you are right, my "black background" is an alpha mask. But why is it there?!? It is a "bug" in Shake:
FileOut - Quicktime Movie - Animation - Options - Compression Settings - "MillionsofColors" - Okay
Now, when I reopen the FileOut node to double check my Compression Settings, it has defaulted BACK to "MillionsofColors+" So yeah, "MillionsofColors" should result in an alpha-free export BUT SHAKE WILL NOT RETAIN A SELECTION OF ANYTHING OTHER THAN "MillionsofColors+" I tried setting it to "Black and White," "ThousandsofColors" - same issue - the export still has an alpha because Shake took the Compression Setting back to "MillionsofColors+"
So thanks for all your help on this, I'm glad your system is not operating with this quirk.
I'm pretty sure I hate Shake.

  • How to edit 16bit TIFF image sequence file in FCP?

    Dear all,
    I have a number of 16 bit TIFF image sequence files (2048 x 1024 resolution) - some of them are RED footage, and others came directly from our f/x guy. We are going into a color correction session in a post house and we've been asked to provide a sequential 16 bit TIFF image sequence of the edited time line.
    I need to do a cross dissolve b/w most of the clips I have. I have created image sequence QT movie (reference files) from the TIFF images. Though they play fine in QT player, when I try importing into FCP, I am met with a "general error". I tried both dragging it into QT, as well as File --> Import.
    I am wondering what can I do to get these clips into FCP in order to apply the cross dissolve transitions I need. Is this a problem relating to the 16bit nature of the TIFF files?
    I tried exporting the TIFF image sequence standalone QT movie, and those imported fine. However, I have a feeling that the standalone movie conversion also decrease my bit depth from 16 to 8. (When I do my final TIFF output from FCP after dissolves / transitions had been applied, each TIFF file is now 8 MB instead of 12 MB, hence my suspicion that the bit depth is adjusted).
    Are there any settings I am missing, or does FCP simply don't support 16 bit image sequence reference file. As a test, I had also converted all my TIFF to jpg, and created jpeg image sequence reference file. These reference QT file can be successfully imported to FCP and I can edit them as if they are a clip.
    If FCP is not able to handle these files, what are my other options? After Effects?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you.

    As far as I know, both FCP and Color only support up to 10 bit color, which is 1024 levels for each color channel, more than enough for avoiding color banding.
    If you need 16 bit for sure, I believe AE will support 16 bit output. Another 16 bit application would be the extended version of Photoshop, which has some limited time line capability.

  • Is the tiff image sequence in premiere pro cs4 lossless?

    is the tiff image sequence export in premiere pro cs4 lossless or lossy?

    Hi,
    Yeah, that  IS an interesting question...When I looked into the quality exported individual frames I stuck it into photoshop and looked at the mode and image size to see what I was getting ...
    I was kinda ( am still very ) impressed with the quality of the individual images Premiere exports in it's sequences.. and I suppose you could say it is lossless but in part that would be referenced to , " Lossless compared to what ? "
    If I put TIFF images into the timeline to begin with and then got them out again, then it would probably be lossy depending on ppi going in. It's like 72 coming out.
    But anyway, the quality is pretty darn good, I have to say...when you export TIFs...

  • Help with TIFF image sequence frame rate?

    I'm working on an animation sequence, its a 24p project.  Whenever I import an image sequence, Premiere automatically interprets this at 29.97 (though, per the help files, it should automatically interpret at the project frame rate, but it's not).  In the project panel, I use interpret footage so that it interprets at 24p.  However, when I bring this image sequence into the timeline it shows at the right duration, but the end of the sequence is cut off (essentially, premiere is still reading in at 30p, but gives it the duration of 24p).
    CS4 is the first version I've had this problem with.. usually, I just bring in the image sequence and it's fine.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Hi, I have the same problem as my workflow is to import R3D into AE CC and render it into Tiff sequence. At first I had changed every setting to 24, and it rendered out choppy and clipped off a few frames in the end.
    Now I have tried this
    Once you import Tiff, right click> Interpret Footage > Main
    Then you will see black box. In this column box, there is Frame Rate column, then tick Assume this frame rate: 24 frames per second.
    You have to type in 24 yourself, then it works out fine.
    My guess is that Tiff is sequence image, and it DOES NOT have frame rate. So you have to tell AE to assume the imported image sequence's frame rate. Otherwise it always assumes 30 by default.
    Hope it works.

  • How to Render a TIFF image sequence with After Effects or Premiere

    So I shot a timelapse in RAW using my D5200.  Developed the images, imported into after effects to make a composition at 1080p 24fps, the clip is 15 seconds long.  Then I rendered the clips a few ways and none of them are what I want:
    I used the H.264 first, its just pixelated and blocky, doesn't retain a smooth resolution. H.264 output an MP4 that was 6.5 MB.
    Then I tried lossless and it output an AVI which is awesome resolution but the file is 2 gigs! Not even VLC media player will play it smoothly without buffering.
    Last I tried H.264 BluRay which output an M4V file which is 45 MB and I can't get it to play.
    So now I'm here asking you all what the way to go is.  When I download films, I will aim for a 1-2 gig 720p or 1080p file on roughly 2hr films.  The resolution is great, the audio is great and the file like I said is only 1.5gigs average.  So what are the rendering settings I should be using to get a file like this? Should I be importing it into Premiere Pro first or what?
    -Thanks
    Bruno
    For Reference, here was my workflow:
    I generally followed an Adorama Rich Harrington Time-Lapse youtube video on workflow which was:
    Developed the Raw files in Camera Raw
    Used the Image Processor to create the Tif files
    Imported into After Effects as a TIF sequence
    Interpreted the sequence as 24fps
    Changed the Composition settings to 1080p 24fps
    Then did the rendering as detailed above

    1. You don't need to export your TIFF sequence so as to import it into After Effects, you can import RAW image sequence into After Effects directly. Camera RAW will start automatically on importing. What is more, you will be able to change your Camera RAW settings at any time you want inside your AE project: in Project panel select your RAW image sequence, right-click, choose Interpret Footage -> Main... In the dialog box click More Options... button (at bottom left), and Camera RAW opens.
    2. Do NOT export to H.264 out of After Effects directly. If you need to export your composition to H.264, export it out of Adobe Media Encoder. Start from HDTV preset. If your goal is to upload your media file on e.g. YouTube, done. If you want to play it back on your computer, but your mediaplayer can't playback it in real time, start to decrease bitrate settings. Keep in mind that modern AVCHD cameras shoot with 28 Mbps, first AVCHD camcorders were shooting with 17 Mbps, YouTube preset in Adobe Media Encoder sets bitrate to 10 Mbps, Vimeo preset - to 8 Mbps.
    Choose VBR, 2 Pass so as to benefit from better quality out of smaller file size.
    See this The Video Road blogpost on Understanding Colour Processing and benefits of Render at Maximum Depth option.
    3. If you're planning to use your After Effects composition in Premiere Pro project, you can use Adobe Dynamic Link. If your After Effects composition is quite complex, render a Digital Intermediate out of After Effects and import it into Premiere Pro. See this discissuon in AE Forum on some production codecs comparison.
    P.S. See also this FAQ: What are the best export settings? entry.

  • Converting Word Files n Excel Files To TIFF images using java

    Can u plzz help me in finding out code for Conversion of word, excel files to TIFF..as soon as possible...i hope vl find some help from u people.
    Thankx n Regards
    Mr.Reddy

    MS keeps their formats secure, it's how they make money.
    There was a project from Apache (sub-group anyway), that was doing some work on it, but documentation and results were very flaky.
    However, TIFF has a format that people can use. Search the web for the format, get the details on the byte structure, then simply apply.
    Now, to convert between text to image, you'd need a rendering engine that figures out how it would look on-screen, then take the resulting graphics context data and convert it into the TIFF format.

  • I get no response when trying to load Targa files as an Image Sequence.  It has always worked in the past.

    I just upgraded from an earlier version of QT 7 Pro for Windows to the latest version (QT 7.6.9 Pro).  I have always had good results in QuickTime Pro importing Targa (.tga) image files rendered in Alias Maya as an Image Sequence, and then exporting those as a QuickTime .MOV.  But now when I go through the steps to import the image sequence, going to the folder and selecting the first image in the sequence, I get no response.  The second QT window does not open, and there is no sign that the import has taken place. I've downloaded the QT manual PDF, and there is nothing in there that would tell me anything I'm not doing already.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Ken

    I would think that image size would always be available when there is an active document in Photoshop.  The only time I remember seeing messages like that where they should work was during the five month period when Adobe released CS6 with so many bugs which took Adobe five months to fix.  During those five month messages like that that should not have happen were common when action switch between documents.  Adobe would start processing the next Action step before the document switch completed, Any step that required an active document could fail with a mess stating the command is not available.
    Are you by some chance using CS6 version 13.0 CS6 without any updates.  Use Photoshop menu Help>About Photoshop.  If it shows CS6 version 13.0 you need to update CS6. .

  • File Naming for Image Sequence to work properly?

    Hi,
    I shot about a 226 shot time lapse this weekend and so far having a severe pain getting it to be a time lapse movie in photoshop.
    Shots were 3 minutes apart.
    Originally I tried using the RAW images, then exported them to full size jpeg, then finally exported them to HD video resolution jpegs thinking format might be part of my issue. But it seems to be more of a naming convention problem.
    Originally tried :
    AAA-XXX-<4 digit shot #>-20100508.<ext> & AAA-XXX-<4 digit shot #>-20100509.<ext>  as it spanned over night. Once sequence was loaded I then saved as PSD before trying to export.
    That would only load the very first image, even though it would come up with the frame rate question.
    Then I shorted it to 0508-HHMMSS.jpg & 0509-HHMMSS.jpg and set the frame rate to 10 frames per second. It warned "This sequence has gaps". Once sequence was loaded I then saved as PSD before trying to export.
    This created a 36 minute timeline in CS5 but the opening image was the one I selected, and then about 36 minutes of blank, with a random image from somewhere in the middle of the scene being the last frame.
    I tried this in both CS5 and CS4 thinking it may be a bug just in CS5.. but I get the exact same results.
    What naming convention is the Image Sequencing 'open' really looking for to work properly. I would have thought that either of the above would have worked.. but so far they are not.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Using Adobe Photoshop CS5 & CS4.
    Christopher

    I did just do a generic 1.2.3.4.5.6. export up to 226 and that seems to have worked. But I don't think I should have to do that and the image sequence function should be able to handle more agile file naming sequences.

  • GoPro Camera Raw Lens Profile settings not working for image sequence in Photoshop/AE/Premiere CS6

    Hey Everyone,
    I'm in need of assistance in either Photoshop CS6, After Effects CS6, or Premiere Pro CS6.  I just installed the trials after seeing Russell Brown demo the GoPro Lens Profile correction feature in Camera Raw.  Basically what I'm looking to do is make adjustments (in Adobe Camera Raw) to a series of still images (shot with the time-lapse mode on the GoPro) and then either export those stills through Photoshop or Bridge to a temporary movie file that will be imported into a timeline (with other video clips), or import the JPG files (with Camera Raw settings) directly into After Effects or Premiere as an image sequence.  The latter would be preferable as it'd avoid the extra step of having to render the intermediate/temporary movie file.
    Right now, my current workflow for GoPro time-lapses is:
              - use Bridge CS4 to do basic color correction on the still images
              - save those as TIF files
              - run the TIF files through a custom script to have Hugin 2012.0.0 (open source pano stitcher) remove the fisheye distortion
              - open the new TIF image sequence into QuickTime Player 7 (Pro)
              - export the image sequence as a QuickTime movie file
              - import the movie file into Premiere Elements 10 to place on a timeline with other video clips (as Premiere Elements can't handle the sequence(s) of thousands of still images without crashing)
    If I can go directly from Bridge to a timeline, it'd save a lot of processing time (and it'd be much nicer to preview the images in Bridge without the fisheye distortion)!
    I can prepare the GoPro JPG files through Adobe Camera Raw in Bridge CS6, though when I go to import the JPEG image sequence into Premiere Pro CS6 or After Effects CS6, none of the Camera Raw settings are applied.  If I export the Camera Raw files in Bridge CS6 as DNG files (a step I'd really prefer to avoid) and then import the DNG image sequence into After Effects CS6, the Camera Raw settings are applied except for the Lens Profile settings -- I can pick other cameras but not the GoPro lens profiles when the DNG image sequence loads in After Effects.  It also appears that once I open the DNG files in After Effects CS6, I can no longer access the GoPro Lens Profile in Adobe Bridge CS6 -- the list changes to the same list I get in After Effects.  Premiere Pro CS6 doesn't let me import the DNG files at all.  I've also tried to import the JPG files (as well as the converted DNG files) into an image sequence in Photoshop CS6, though it doesn't allow me to do so (the Image Sequence checkbox is grayed out after I apply the Camera Raw settings in Bridge).
    There could be an issue going on with different Camera Raw versions.  I didn't have Premiere Pro CS6 installed during my initial testing, though now do notice that the Camera Raw dialog in Bridge CS6 only lets me choose compatibility up to "Camera Raw 7.1 and later" when I choose to export the files as DNG.  I thought Camera Raw 8.2 was an option there a couple days ago when I only had installed Photoshop CS6 and After Effects CS6 (though am not 100% certain).
    Please let me know if there is some workaround to get the GoPro lens profile Camera Raw corrections applied in an image sequence in one of the Adobe CS6 products (without having to export the files as temporary TIF or JPG files out of Camera Raw).  I'd greatly prefer to shorten my current workflow for these files.  (I just updated the CS6 trials and have tested all three programs again though I still get the same results described above.)
    Does Lightroom 5 have any option to export Camera Raw image sequences as movie files (or any other feature that might help in simplifying my current workflow)?  I can't install the trial right now as it's not compatible with OS X 10.6.8.  I'd consider upgrading OS X if I knew Lightroom 5 would do what I need, though am waiting for any potential color profile issues to be resolved in OS X 10.9.
    I can open the image sequence in Photoshop CS6 if no Camera Raw settings are applied and then use the Lens Correction Filter to apply the GoPro Lens Profile settings, though I really prefer the Camera Raw interface in Bridge for tweaking image settings.  As soon as I apply Camera Raw settings to the first image, Photoshop CS6 grays out the image sequence checkbox.
    If there isn't a way to take Camera Raw files straight from Adobe Bridge to a timeline, I may stick with my current workflow using CS4 and see what I can do to better automate some of the steps as the TIF export in Bridge, fisheye distortion removal in Hugin, and render in QuickTime Player all take quite a while.  I won't mind waiting for all the processing if I can set it and check back on it in later the next day when it's fully complete.  Is there a way to have Adobe ExtendScript execute an external shell command (i.e.: a command I could type into the bash shell in Terminal in OS X)?  If not, is there a way to call/run an ExtendScript script from the command line and pass a parameter to it that my custom script could use?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mark

    Can you zip up a few of your GoPro images, upload them to dropbox.com and post a share link, here, so others can experiment with them, or do you mean this issue is global to all camera models?

  • Adding audio to image sequence

    Hello
    I've got a 5 minute animation where various sections need updating so the most obvious thing to do is render out an image sequence and just replace the pieces that are updated. The audio dosen't change and fits the length of my animation perfectly.
    I'd like to use AME CS6 for exporting to various formats as the presets are quite useful. I can load the image sequence no problem but I'd like to add the audio file to it. Can it be done? I can't find an obvious something-to-click button and I'm getting bored of copying and pasting in QTPro!
    Is it a feature request?

    Nick,
    Thank you for your reply.
    I would not have asked such a silly question I went to bed earlier.
    Thanks for your patience.
    The volume is at its maximum level.
    I am sure I am selecting the correct option in Sound in System Preferences.
    When I scratch the microphone I can see the blue markers move.
    The sound over in FCP works correctly and I allow it to proceed to its finish before I turn off the microphone.
    Using Quick Time as you suggested clearly works but again the voice over can barely be heard.
    I have selected an audio track,number 3 or lower and set in and out points in the video track.
    So I think I have followed the correct settings and indeed the volume of the voice was at a useful level the first time I used it.
    The problem is that since then my recording is barely audible,
    Michael.

  • 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:

  • Importing Image Sequences Issue

    I have been supplied with Tiff Image Sequences rendered out of Maya. Unfortunately they do not import correctly, or in order, though their naming convention seems correct.
    EG
    ep000sq01_sh0010_compv02.0001.tif
    ep000sq01_sh0010_compv02.0002.tif
    ep000sq01_sh0010_compv02.0003.tif
    When imported into QT 7.1.3 if I scroll frame by frame through the resulting QT movie there are numerous duplicate frames, dropped frames and frames out of order. This should not be due to my machine as the specs are quite sufficient [G5 DP 2GHz / OS X 10.4.8, 1 GB Ram] as compare to the QT required specs page, see http://www.apple.com/quicktime/guide/hd/recommendations.html
    The Tiff images are of a decent resolution [1280x720].
    Also when imported into FCP 5.0.4 even if in my user preferences under the Editing tab my Still/Freeze Duration is set to 1 frame, the images in the image sequences will not import with a duration of 1 frame BUT import with a duration of 0 frames.
    This all seems very buggy / conflicted for reasons unknown to me at this time.
    If there are any suggestions they will be extremely welcome as time is of the essence [unfortunately].
    Thanks in advance.

    I use the Animation codec and in both cases the fps selected are 25 fps.
    Funnily enough, the image sequences have come from an organisaion that I assumed would have their naming conventions sorted, EG enabling easy consolidation into one QT movie or importing into FCP.
    I agree with you that the naming convention may be the cause of the conflict, possibly working better if we dropped that additional "full stop" between the "2" and the first of three "0"s.
    EG ep000sq01_sh0010_compv02.0001.tif
    Regardless, thanks for your advice.
    BTW Have you ever lived in Australia as I could have sworn there was a Matt Haveri at my high school [back in tha day...ha ha]
