How to get FCP to recognize an animation sequence, not individual clips ?

Hello All;
Could someone tell me how to get FCP to recognize a .png animation sequence (Exported from After-Effects) ? When I place the directory or files onto the timeline, I get a project 27 minutes long, rather than 10 seconds like it should be. I know this must be easy and I'm just missing something.
Tim

You exported a .png image sequence from After Effects?
Three choices:
1) In Final Cut Pro, click anywhere in the 27 minute long timeline and type Command + A to select all the clips. Once they are all selected Control Click on any one of the selected clips, and from the drop down menu choose Duration. Set the duration each clip is supposed to be ( 1 frame? 3 frames?) and click OK.
2) In Final Cut Pro, go to the menu Final Cut Pro > User Preferences. When The User Preferences open, click on the Editing Tab. Set the Still/Freeze duration to the duration you want for each of the stills in your image sequence and click OK. You will then need to re-import the stills, and they will now each be the new duration. This does not work on the stills you have already imported- you need to import the stills again.
3) Open Quicktime Pro (Quicktime Player 7) and go to the menu File > Open Image Sequence. . .
Navigate to the first frame of your image sequence and click Open. You will be asked to pick your frame rate. Set that and click OK.
When it opens, go to the menu File > Export and the Save Exported File As . . . window will open. Choose the codec you want for your animation (Pro Res, most likely) and, determine a location for the file and click Save. The image sequence will be exported as a Movie in the frame rate and codec you chose. Import that movie into FCP to edit or composite.

  • How to get iTunes to recognize an Italian album (not as Spanish)

    I have a number of albums by my favorite Italian artists (Eros Ramazzotti, Nek, Laura Pausini, et al.). These artists habitually release their Italian-language CDs first, and then record and release the same CD (i.e., song list) in Spanish.
    However, when here in the States I insert the original Italian-language albums, about half the time the album is given the Spanish title and song list, which irks my sense of order. Does anyone know how to get things right, short of my manually having to type in each album's song list? (Peeved: I'm moving to the Apple/Mac world form the PC world, and Windows Media Player at least gives me a choice between the Italian title/songlist and the Spanish one).
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    iTunes does not recognize cameras, it only recognizes iDevices.
    Windows computers could careless that it's a phone or iPod or whatever, they will only recognize it as a camera.
    Plug the device into the computer.
    Lauch iTunes.
    Sync whatever you like to it.
    If you have issues, clearly explain exactly what is happening.

  • How to get FCP to recognize SonyHVR-A1P Camera

    FCP won't recognise the camera (sonyHVR-A1P) simply through a firewire... Is there anyway to get it to read the camera?? It keeps saying "codec not found"...

    Which version of FCP? 4.5 won't see it, where as 5 will.
    EDIT: Actually, I just looked on the list of supported devices, and that camera isn't on it. So it isn't supported by FCP.

  • How to get mac to recognize thumb drive?

    how to get mac to recognize thumb drive?

    Launch the Disk Utility application. Does the thumb drive appear in the list of volumes on the left side? If not, try using a different USB port. If the issue still occurs then try restarting the system. If the thumb drive appears in Disk Utility check out how it is formatted. Do you have data on it that you need?  If it can be erased try formatting it with Disk Utility using the Mac OS Extended (journaled) format. If the thumb drive will be used in a Mac and PC environment then take a look at this article for additional information on choosing the right format.

    Make sure there's enough free space on the startup disk.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop.
    Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available.
    Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    If there's sufficient disk space, the startup disk may need repairing.
    Launch Disk Utility located in /Applications/Utilities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    You will need your install disc if the startup disk needs repairing.

  • I have a Windows 7 Pro OEM disk that can install either the 32 or 64 bit version. When using version 5.0.3 of Bootcamp, I keep getting the message that it is a 32 bit disk.  Any ideas how to get it to recognize the 64 bit version?

    I have a Windows 7 Pro OEM disk that can install either the 32 bit or 64 bit versions.  When trying to setup a dual boot for my Mac Mini using Bootcamp version 5.0.3, I get the message that I have the 32 bit version of Windows.  Any ideas on how I can get it to recognize the 64 bit version so that I can partition my "Mini"?

    If by "OEM" you mean the disk came with another Win computer, it won't work. You need either a full retail verison or the "System Builders' Edition." I used the latter for my BC installation and it worked flawlessly and was marked as 64-bit--no mention of 32-bit.

  • How to get Adobe to recognize my scanner

    I've upgraded to PSE 6 for the Mac. I still have PSE 4 on my machine also.
    For some reason, PSE 6 does not recognize my scanner, but PSE 4 does.
    I also have Acrobat Professional which I bought so that I could make pdf files from my scanner, and it doesn't recognize my scanner either.
    How do I get both PSE 6 and Acrobat Professional to recognize my scanner?
    Thanks,

    I finally got PSE 6 to recognize my scanner and also Photoshop CS3, but I still can't get Acrobat 8 Professional to recognize it.  There is no Rosetta box for Acrobat.

  • How to get PS to recognize my Epson scanner

    I have PS CS4 for Mac (running Snow Leopard), and am trying to figure out how to Import or scan something into PS.  With my Windows machine I used to use Epson TWAIN from the Import menu.  The only Import options I have on my Mac version are: Video Frames to Layers, Anti-aliased PICT..., and PICT resource..., none of which are what I need.
    I have updated Mac OS after attaching my scanner and it did download some Epson drivers, but still is not showing up in PS.  I have used VueScan sucessfully but don't want to have to pay for that if I have the ability to import through PS.

    Well I heard back from Epson.  Seems they don't make Snow Leopard drivers or application specifically for the Perfection 2450 but they said that the older drivers would work.  So I downloaded and installed them.  After I did I got an Epson scan icon in my Apps folder.  When I run it however it does nothing, no interface, nothing but the words Epson Scan on the top Mac menu bar and when I mouse over that to try to do something I just get the rainbow cursor.  I opened PS and still no other items avail in the Import menu.  So how do you go about enabling TWAIN or whatever for the Mac so that the option will show up in PS?  I'm a Mac newbie.
    I did have a need to scan something so I bought VueScan which worked and I was scanning in about 10 seconds after installing it, but I really want to figure out how to get it to work in PS
    Thanks,

  • How to get labVIEW to recognize DaqBOOK 2000A from Iotech

    I've just setp my hardware and software. Does anybody now how to get LabView to start "talking" with this IOTech product, DaqBook 2000A or similiar IOTech hardware?

    You can get the Agilent drivers from Agilent - where else?
    Once you have installed the drivers, in MAX you have to enable tulip support for the non-NI controller to be recognized. Expand the software listing, select NI-VISA, select the VISA Options tab, select General Setting>Passports. Check the box for NI-VISA Support for Tulip.
    p.s. It's not a 'cord' or 'wire'. It's a GPIB controller. There are numerous GPIB tutorials available on the web. You should google that before you start doing any LabVIEW programming.

  • How to get operation/activity number in correct sequence

    hi all,
    in Tcode CA03, we can see the first column "operation number" come in sequence.
    0010     INSTRUCT
    0020     STAGE
    0030     SMT1
    0040     SMT2
    0050     ROUTING
    0060     TEST1
    0070     QC
    0080     LBLPACK1
    0090     FQA-TEST
    0100     FINALQA
    0110     QCE
    However when query in the z report on table PLPO,
    it would appear something like the following:
    10     10000185     INSTRUCT
    20     10000212     STAGE
    30     10000178     SMT1

    50     10000315     FQA-TEST
    60     10000180     FINALQA
    those number comes after 110 is maintained in "reference operation set". it has inserted in between
    SMT2 and QCE in CA02.
    Please advise how to get the correct sequence in the z program through table PLPO. Or any other table with the entries maintained properly.
    thanks .

    The document is confusing indeed. Here's what to do:
    Since you already have Adobe Reader 9.4 installed (distributed via GPO), all you need to do is create an administrative installation point (AIP) for version 9.4.1 so you can deploy it to upgrade version 9.4.
    Here's an example:
    - Copy AdbeRdr940_en_US.msi (the 42MB MSI installation file) and AdbeRdrUpd941_all_incr.msp (the 3.24MB patch) to C:\Temp folder
    - Create a new subfolder under C:\Temp folder (let's call it AdbeRdr941)
    - Run this command:
    msiexec /a C:\Temp\AdbeRdr940_en_US.msi
    - When prompted, specify target drive C:\Temp\AdbeRdr941
    - When the above process completes, run the following command to slipstream version 9.4.1 into 9.4.0:
    msiexec /a C:\Temp\AdbeRdr941\AdbeRdr940_en_US.msi /p C:\Temp\AdbeRdrUpd941_all_incr.msp
    Note: the above AdbeRdr940_en_US.msi in folder C:\Temp\AdbeRdr941 file size is about 3.8MB
    - When prompted, once again the target is C:\Temp\AdbeRdr941
    When the process completes, copy C:\Temp\AdbeRdr941 folder to a shared network folder and create a new GPO to distribute the new version. Hope that helps.
