Importing a Sequence of Images

Hi ,
I have get our client 200 tga picture (renders), i want to insert this picture one by one key frame how can i do automatically.
I am try to select & stage but picture is place one over another, please help me
Regards
Manoj

create a new movieclip and while that movieclip's timeline is open, click file/import/import to stage and select the first image. if they're named sequentially and you're using a flash pro cs version, flash will offer to import the entire sequence and distribute each on its own frame in the current timeline.

HELP! flash stops working when I want to import a sequence of images to stage

Please! I need help asap! I downloaded Flash CS5 and I am using it as a trial and every time I want to import a sequence of images to stage the program stops working and closes without saving. I need to do this projecto for the day after tomorrow and Flash is just not working right. This project is a stop motion animation.
I will deeply appreciate any help, since I just don't know what else to do!
Laura.

I cannot individually cause it's a stop motion animation...like 200 pictures (this part, the whole of it is like 1000), it would take me a lot of time. I tried doing it in parts, but when I get to frame number 100 more or less the program just shuts down...I really really don't know what else to try.

Importing a sequence of images in order?

Forgive my ignorance. I normally just to scripting in Flash,
not frame-based animation :)
I've got a sequence of images from a 3-D program that I need
to turn into an animation in Flash. I thought it was super easy to
bring them in and Flash would automatically place each one on its
on frame in order. Am I missing something? Did they drop this
feature? I'm using CS3.
Thanks a lot,
Erik

it is still super easy and done the same way as all previous
versions - make sure the image sequence
is numbered sequentially (img_001.png, img_002.png,
img_03.png, etc....). In Flash go to File >
Import, select 1st image and you will be prompted to import
them all.

Importing a sequence and images only being 1 frame

Is there a way to import a sequence and when the images go to the timeline they are only 1 frame long?

Osx Lion QTv10.1 How do I open a sequence of images

I am running XSI lion 10.7.4 and have a default QT installed. I am not able to open a sequence of images and save out to a mov file . There seems to be no menu selection anymore.
Can anyone advise ?
Rob

For reasons unkown, Apple has decided to limit Quicktime 10, by removing many useful features that were avaliable in previous versions of Quicktime.
Luckily, there are others ways of achieving what you want to do...
1)
You can download Quicktime 7 and Purchase a Quicktime 7 Pro Registration Key. This will enable many extra features that are inactive in the standard Quicktime 7.
You can download Quicktime 7 at the following link...
     http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923
You can purchase the Pro Registration Key at the following link..
     http://store.apple.com/us/product/D3380Z/A
2)
You can download a FREE software, known as Time Lapse Assembler, that will allow you to import a sequence of images, and export them as a video/movie. If you're on a budget, this is the best way to go.

Issues with importing photos in an image sequence!

Hi all,
Just at work and we're doing a rather large Time Lapse photography project which I and another colleague are editing within Adobe Premiere. After gathering a large selection of images we decided it was time to have a go at doing a first edit. Opened Premiere and made a new project etc. and have made a couple of practice runs with different pictures but I opened the pictures (File/Import) and then tried to import all of the pictures but I can't tick "Image Sequence", which is greyed out. Does anyone know why? I assumed it was due to the fact that it was importing them off an external drive but I put them on the MacBook just to make sure but it still wouldn't import them. I then tried to import less pictures at a time still to no avail.
Being flat out of ideas just thought I would ask what I would consider experts with more knowledge than myself for a hand! Thanks in advance to anyone who can help, with this being a work project I am eager to get started as soon as possible!

might be the filename convention stuff... like if you have filenames that have a lot of weird characters and no easily discernable " number" sequence it might not be recognizing them as a potential sequence. I'm on a pc and use a program called " renamer "... which I got for free I think.. off internet.. and it works great for renaming stuff in a folder...
what I do is put a group of files in a specific folder ( like maybe a temp directory I make just for the purpose of renaming files ).. and use renamer on that stuff...
It's a little tricky so experiment with one file so you know it is working the way you expect... ( adding rules and using wildcards and so on ). If you post a sample of one of your filenames in the sequence someone may be able to tell you definitively what is up ...
good luck
edit.. an afterthought.. post 2 filenames that you think are sequential... and that way we can see how it is progressing re: numbers, dates, whatever.... and also someone could test it ( like I could create 2 files in ps using those names and see if it works to import as sequence.. and also see what renamer rules would work to fix it if it needs fixing ) ???

Importing side by side image sequences

Hi, I'm trying to figure out if there is a easy way to import 2 sets of image sequences into AE and have them side by side, so both sets will be inside 1 frame.
Example of what I'm doing is having a phone conversation, instead of switching back and forth between the actors (image sequences) I want to see them both at the same time next to each other.
Thank you

No offence, but I really don't want to start there, nor do I have the time to sift though a number of tutorials that may or may not show me what I need. I just want to know how to do what I asked. After I get these images together I'll probably never touch AE again, least not for awhile. This is probably the 3rd, time I've opened AE in 20 years
Appearently it's not so simple, if none of the 50 people that viewed this post can answer the question for me. I can do this in photoshop, but it'll take forever to layer everything, even with scripts. I was just hoping someone could help me out and make my life easier. I've been working 18-20 hours a day for the past 3 weeks with no days off on this animation and learning something new isn't really going to stick anyhow.
Thanks anyways

Importing picture sequence in Media Encoder ? like in the help

If you look in this help document http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AdobeMediaEncoder/4.0/WS8A54CAA7-268E-4af0-B8A4-0EA3EACEC1A3.h tml
it says you can import TGA sequence and JPG sequence. From the document :
- JPEG and JPEG sequence (JPE, JPG, JFIF)
- Targa and Targa sequence (TGA, ICB, VDA, VST)
but I was unable to do that. You can drop a jpg file in MEdia Encoder and it will convert just fine - but only the first frame. How to load the entire sequence ?

I'm trying to import. When you're working with 3d graphics and rendering - the common work-flow would be to render a series of frames, a sequence. Many people work like this also even with normal footage.
Or some programs expect also a sequence. For example the software Nuke (commonly used for compositing in films like Watchmen and Avatar).
And because I think Adobe Media Encoder is one of the fastest encoders around I would like to use it to convert a sequence of JPG in a WMV or H264.
Since it can export a sequence of TGA or BMP it's only normal to expect that it can read also a sequence. And more so the Help says it can :
Supported still‑image formats :
JPEG and JPEG sequence (JPE, JPG, JFIF)
Targa and Targa sequence (TGA, ICB, VDA, VST)
But if I drag a JPEG file in the encoder - it reads only the first frame. Is there a special method to read the rest of the frames ? Maybe a script , or maybe I have to make a text file like a playlist ..or something.

Importing a sequence of photos

Hi, I am sure this is a newbie problem, but I am a newbie.
How can i import over 700 photos into the stage, automatically
creating a new frame for each photo so they play in sequence. I
need this for a stop frame animation project. I have done some
research and apparantly flash does this automatically if I open a
new doc, new keyframe, highlight it, file > import > import
to stage, then select my photo sequence, which is numbered 1 - 734.
It is then supposed to recognise the sequence and do it all for me.
Not only is it not doing this it is also resizing my photos.
Help!!

If your sequence is properly numbered then when you import
the first image
Flash will say something like ' sequence detected - should I
import the
sequence or just this image?' If it's resizing anything on
import then it's
probably because the images are not 72dpi.

Import PSE 3 catalog & images into PSE 9

Hi
I have a new PC (Windows 7 64 bit), with the trial download of PE9 (and Premiere Elements 9) installed. My old PC is Windows XP 32 bit with PSE3 (and Premiere Elements 1) installed. The images are in "My Pictures" in the old XP PC, generally in date folders but with some folders with names not in the date sequence. I have a full backup of my photo images made using Photoshop PSE3 backup onto an external hard drive.
To check that my camera is recognised by the new PC I first downloaded images from my camera onto the new PC, and these have automatically been fetched into the Organizer catalog. I have not yet formed any albums, or done anything else in Organiser or Editor.
Now, how do I import the catalog (and images) created with PSE3 from the external hard drive into the new PC, so that the folders are in My Pictures in the same format? I have looked in Help and in Forums and seen comments about importing and converting from earlier versions of PSE to PSE 9, but it's not clear to me how to do this - can you please advise?
I have also downloaded some short video clips from my camcorder using Premiers Elements 9 trial. These clips appear in Organiser in the Albums pane under a heading of Video Projects. Does Organiser automatically put all video clips (or video projects) into Organiser in "Video Projects", and can this be disabled or customised at all? It seems at first a bit odd to me that Video clips and Still images are all in the same pane.
Thanks in anticipation of your help.

On the new computer, in PSE9, select File->Restore Catalog, and point it to the backup you made from PSE3. You will be given several options about restoring the photos, including one that is to original directory location.
More details are here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402894.html (which was written for PSE6, but applies to later versions of PSE as well)

Help importing PNG sequence

So I believe I have successfully accomplished importing PNG
sequences before more than once. However, this time around, I'm
losing my mind. I just successfully rendered a PNG sequence out of
Adobe After Effects CS3, roughly 130 images, and I'm attempting to
import all of them as a sequence to FlashCS3. However, when I do
this, every image is duplicated with a graphic, and the graphics
are about 50x larger than the original PNG size. I cannot figure
out what I am doing wrong, I've never come across this problem. If
anyone has any advice, please let me know; it will be greatly
appreciated.
I also wanted to know how to move the position of images or
movie clips on multiple key frames at one time. If that makes
sense. As this PNG sequence for example.... If I don't like the
position of the sequence, I have to manually click each key frame,
and move the selected position... any help.
Thank you

your first problem here is likely that the images you've
rendered are not set to 72dpi, standard screen resolution. Flash
will automatically render the image at a size related to 72, eg. if
your images are higher res they will be shown larger to compensate.
the second issue can be resolved by using the 'edit multiple
frames' button and selecting all items in the timeline you wish to
move, including multiple layers and frames. to do so, turn on
'onion skinning' place the playhead in the first frame you wish to
move, extend the handle to the last frame you wish to move - then
turn on the edit multiple frames button (third option in the
timeline toolbar) - then select all of the layers and frames you
wish to move in the timeline - now all the items on the stage
should be shown as selected, you can now click and drag the items
all together or use the arrow keys to nudge the images to a new
position.

I imported about 300 RAW images yesterday and worked with them for about an hour. iPhoto locked up on me and I rebooted. After I did the event icon is now gray and it says there are no photos. I know the photos are there. Any idea how I can recover them?

a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos

Adobe Photoshop Elements 5 - Import to LR (60k images, success!)

I have been struggling to get an import of my PSE 5 library to successfully complete into Lightroom without crashing. Ready to give up I tried the following which worked like a charm:
In Photoshop Elements 5:
File -> Catalog -> Recover
I ran the above which took less then a minute or two. After running that Lightroom was able to import my entire PSE catalog (~59,000 images)! I wanted to share this in case anyone else is struggling with application crashing on import. Before I ran this, LR would take 2-3 hours and then finally crash out after importing only 3200 - 3700 images.
I haven't looked at all the specific collections/tags I had but I'm excited that I do see lots of info in those areas that got imported in.
Louis

I used Elements 5. It has a serious database problem that I don't understand why it isn't better known. I watched my database grow 500K to 1 M for each edit of a file. It was not with true information because a Recover would put it immediately back to where it was. I was "Recover"ing multiple times per day. So my database was compacted when I imported.
I have one friend with Eloements and he experienced the same database growth. Why this growth would crash LR is another issue.
This is a very important point for Elements users to know! In the Elements forum if you have any problem at all they tell you to Recover your catalog.
Now look at what you've imported and let us know whether you got your tags and the condition of your tags (were they nested)? I believe part of my problem is some tags were written to the files and what was in the files themselves had preference in the import (without asking me). Hence captions reverting to camera info put in there by a misguided camera company and tags not nested because there is no nesting in metadata. That doesn't explain the missing tags though.
This should probably be put in the FAQ as a suggestion. It can't hurt.

I shot video on a Panasonic P2 and I'm trying to import the MXF files to Final Cut Pro but when I try to import, the only thing that imports is a blurry image of each clip. There's no audio and no video...how can I import MXF files into Final Cut Pro?

at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
vs
using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.
