How do I import image sequences?

Use the QuickTime 7 pro player to open the image sequence and export to the codec you want.

How can I import image sequences into Fireworks???

I quote:
Not specifically "import" but you can open a series of images as an animation. This will place each image in its own state, suitable for creating an animation.
Choose File > Open

Imported image sequence in PP CC 2014 causes animated layers to flicker

I have a project which has a primary layer formed of imported JPGs that are in sequence. These are shots from a time lapse and are sequentially named and imported without issue into Premier Pro. I then have a secondary layer with a simple After Effects composition that comprises a slow fade and animation of some title text. The problem I have is that during playback in PP (or once rendered) the animation of the text in the AA layer flickers. Watching it frame by frame in the preview window it is slowly fading in but each alternate frame it's opacity seems to go back one frame before advancing.
Now I can completely fix this by exporting the image sequence clip in my bin to a video file. If I then replace the image sequence with a video made using exactly the same images it works fine and the animation is perfectly smooth. My question is why does PP not treat the imported image sequence the same as a video with its interaction with other layers?

Hi there.
Looking at the footage, you are exporting at 24P. There are books written on 24P and how to shoot (or edit) for it. What I see as a possible mistake.
You are moving the photo too fast across the screen. That could be the same as panning too fast in 24P. Same result. The video clips are moving much slower and don't show the staggering.
Give it a try.

Importing Image Sequences...

When I export a video clip into an image sequence and import those images back, they become 10 second long stills. How do you import them and automatically have their duration as only 1 frame?

or use quicktimepro to import image sequences and do a save as a quicktime movie. FCP can choke on the sheer number of files involved in an image sequence.

Import Image Sequence in Media Encoder CS4?

Hi all,
Is it possible to import an image sequence in Media Encoder CS4 to export it in FLV?
In the documentation, it's said in "File formats supported for import" that it supports jpg sequence (not png!?), but I don't know how to add an image sequence.
Thanks

Sorry I meant, it doesn't look like can and I find that gay.

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.

However, I can import a SGI file on it's own, but not with the above menu selection - the files are gray'd out.

How do I import images from my hard drive without losing resolution? My original files after import are significantly smaller. What should I do?

How do I import images from my hard drive without losing resolution? My original files after import are significantly smaller. What should I do?

Hi Keith, and all others chiming in, I do have the correct option checked in advanced settings telling iPhoto to copy the images into the library. What is a refernced library? Perhaps this is where I am getting confused. I exported my entire photo library from an old iMac5 to my external hard drive, from there I attempted to import the entire library to my new iMac. Am I overlooking an obvious and easy way to import from the hard drive to the new iMac--I dragged the entire photo pholder from the hard drive to the open window of iPhoto on the new computer. Now, I only get preview file sizes in iPhoto, unless I have my external drive open. Perhaps I need to import the original images from the hard drive in a different way...?! (This is making me feel pretty stupid.)

How can I import images from iphoto with the albums and folders?

How can I import images from iphoto without losing the albums and folders I already created?

In Organizer, you can choose File>get Photos and Videos>From iPhoto.
Importing from iPhoto'09: If in iPhoto, you organize your media using photo references, that is, the media actually does not reside inside iPhoto library package, and are referenced through original locations, Organizer does not create new copies of those media and just refer to the original location. but if your iPhoto media reside inside iPhoto library, Organizer creates a copy all media in your pictures folder, also imports albums and tags and other metadata.
Importing from iPhoto'011: In this case, Organizer always creates a copy of your photos in your pictures folder which resides inside iPohto package. It does not import the albums and other metadata like star rating, caption etc.
Hope this information helps!

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.

How do i import images stored in a folder sequentially and add a timer to change in sequence?

Hello,
I am actually very new to Labview and I do not have much idea about it. Can anyone provide me a VI which can import images stored in a folder sequentially.
Example: the images stored in the folder have names like 1.bmp,2.bmp and so on...
I want to import 1.bmp first and after 8 seconds 2.bmp and so on..
Please help me with this.
Thanks
Solved!

Importing Image Sequences into FCP

Hi, My animator sent some instructions for trying to import an Image Sequence into FCP. It said to change the Still Freeze Frame Duration to 1 frame per second, then import the folder and drag the folder to V2 or higher. I've done this and got the error message 'insufficient content for edit' and got it again when I dragged the first file from the folder onto the V2 in the timeline.
Any suggestions as to why the error message is coming up. Does the Still Freeze Frame duration have to be changed?
Thanks SO much for your help.

Ok, now I'm curious because I've done a bit of animation files in FCP before.
What kind of files are they? .tga?
Can you drag just one into the Browser from the Finder, then drag that into the timeline? What happens?
How are you putting the images into the timeline? Dragging the folder? Have you tried a new sequence to test it?
I've had issues with FCP not recognizing them before because they were in some weirdo quasi-.tga format before but I haven't seen that error associated with this before.
Oh, do you have your tracks targeting buttons set correctly as well as the toggle auto-select indicators?

Quicktime Pro 7.6.9 crashes when I try to import image sequence

Hi,
I'm running Quicktime Pro 7.6.9 on a Windows XP machine with service pack 3.
I shot some timelapses with my Nikon D7000 as jpegs and while trying to import the image sequences into Quicktime so I can export them out as .MOVs, I noticed that Quicktime crashes when ever I try to import a sequence that has 240 or more pictures. Most of my timelapses have 240 or 360 pictures. I was able to import a sequence that had only 180 pictures. Does Quicktime Pro 7.6.9. have an image sequence limit that I don't know about? I don't have any sequences that are anything between 180 and 240, so I can't test out numbers like 190, 200, 210, etc.
Any ideas on what's happening?

The files are 4928x3264 JPEGs. I'm trying to make 1920x1080 .MOV files. Quicktime crashes as soon as I select the first pic from the image sequence.
I tried another sequence that had 600 pics and it worked fine, so it's obviously not some sort of image limit. But I can't figure out why these three sequences that each have 240 images would cause the program to crash everytime.

How to animate imported images?

Hi, I'm new to Premiere. I've imported a PSD file with full alpha transparency. It shows a mobile phone being held, as if from a first-person perspective and is being used in a scene that is filmed in first-person.
On the phone, I want the screen's image to change, perhaps at certain specified keyframes. I know for an animated image I could import a GIF, but that format does not support alpha.
In short, how can I make an imported image - that's used in Video 2 on top of Video 1 - change itself to an image of the exact same resolution at specified times?

Change the image on the phone in Photoshop instead. Ohotoshop Extended has a timeline, or you could just import multiple copies of the phone image into Premiere Pro and use them as you need them.

Very poor Playback of imported image sequence

Hello,
I really tried to work around this problem but I'm resigned to see that premiere pro seems to handle very bad the playback of imported sequence of numbered stills.
I began with premiere elements. I imported my footage as image sequence (from 3dsmax), and saw that the playback was poor. It seemed to be playable after background rendering was finished, but BG rendering is soooo long due to an issue with nvidia hardware. So I'm forced to disable BG rendering, but the problem is that the sequence go unplayable again, etc, etc.
I decided to install premiere pro cs5 trial to test, thinking that it will definitively fix the problem,
but... same poor, almost unusable playback with numbered stills.
I have a strong hardware (dual xeon 5650, quadro 4000, 48gb ram), so I think it's not the cause.
I disable my antivirus while using premiere.
Video sequences (avi, mov, etc), play smoothly, but when you work with CG 3D footage, you always export in image sequences, and I want to be able to edit my footages in premiere, as compositing softwares aren't built for the same kind of tasks.
After effects plays images sequences very smoothly, so why not premiere?
I did convert my image sequences to avi or mov uncompressed, but even with no compression, there's a significant loss of quality, and I want to avoid this loss to be able to edit my footage and output my final video based on the best image quality possible.
Thank you for answering

I have a strong hardware (dual xeon 5650, quadro 4000, 48gb ram), so I think it's not the cause.
You did not mention your disk setup.
Playing back numbered image sequences at high resolution is
probably the most disk IO intensive thing you can ask Premiere to do.
Without a dedicated RAID controller and multi-disk setup, you will likely be
forced to timeline preview render all your image sequences for real time playback.
After effects plays images sequences very smoothly, so why not premiere?
AE will not play image sequences in real time until you render a RAM preview.
I did convert my image sequences to avi or mov uncompressed, but even with no compression, there's a significant loss of quality...
There will be no loss of quality if you use a lossless codec for your
digital intermediate file (i.e. Lagarith or UT), and these uncompressed files
will play smoothly in Premiere without needing to render timeline previews.

Automatically generating a comp for imported image sequences

hi, i'm quite new to After Effects scripting so bear with my newbieness;)
Basically i have a long list of shot folders which each contain a number of render layer folders which contains image sequences. I realised after a while that it is extremely tedious opening each shot folder and dragging the render layer folders into after effects, then creating a comp for them and also a shot folder for the sequences. Doing this for 60 shots individually takes hours and is boring.
Is there a way to run a script that can import all the shot folders in one big batch and then After Effects splits them up into their own seperate comps so i dont have to do it manually?
Any help or suggestions on this would be great,
thanks,
Sam

thanks myrslok, that was really helpful. I installed Immigration and then discovered it doesnt work with after effects 7.0. (which im on). Is there a way around this, because i saw the demo for Immigration and it looks great
