Importing file sequence

Whenever I try to import a .tif image sequence into QT I get an error message referring OSStatus error -2003. Can someone point me to a URL where I can find QT error codes and/or tell me what this error means?

Hi I discovered that a few of the jpegs were corrupt files. The ones that don't show a preview in the thumbnail were corrupt. I just deleted them and then all was fine..

How to deal with file sequences in importer plugin

I checked the sdk example which deals with file import. What would be the difference if I would want to create an importer for a file sequence? Let's say I have a sequence of file0001.img, file0002.img,...,file1000.img. If I enable the image sequence import in media browser I should be able to import this 1000 files as one clip. However I don't see how PP will tell me that this is not just one image. It gave me the first filename and told me to open it, and as my code is not finished yet I could not go any further. What should I expect?
Thanks,
ajaj

you could try using a Java Mapping to change the encoding manually. For that, set the encoding of the OutputFormat of the XML you'll serialize. Try the following code piece for the mapping (inside a try/catch declaration):
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder documentBuilder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document input = documentBuilder.parse(in);
OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat(XML, "ISO-8859-1", false);
XMLSerializer serializer = new XMLSerializer(out, format);
For more details check this guide:

Can't import video sequences saved as mpeg-2 files for video editing

this is urgent!!!
is there a way of importing video sequences saved as mpeg-2 files? i don't have the dv tapes nor the videocam right now but need to edit the files pronto.
i can do this on a windows xp computer with pinnacle studio 9 except that someone else is using the computer also to meet an urgent deadline.
thank you for any help. btw, i'm a newbie w/ final cut.

FCE does not support that type of file. It is DV only editing program.
Depending on exactly what you have (do you have the orginal DVDs or VOB files) you could use something like DVxDVD to rip the files. MPEG Streamclip does this for free but you need the Apple MPEG2 compenent to work it. FFMEG is a shareware program ... it may be able to do this, but I'm not sure

Importing files with sequence and leading 0's

I can not figure out how to import files and rename them so they have leading zeros. I can do this in Adobe bridge
image.001, image.011 instead of image.1 image.11
I do a lot of slide shows in Premiere pro and in order to sort the files within the BIN, i need leading zeros.
Thanks

When you do a rename, there's a drop down box for how you want to rename your files. At the bottom of that box is the word "edit". Use that.

Re importing files to AE problem

I followed the help instructions to re-import files to an AE project, but I had one problem. Certain files don't appear in my timeline, they are unviewable, and they have a different name and icon next to them. I'll provide a screen shot to show you what I mean.
Let me also explain the process of how I imported them. There's three things you should know first.
1. the files are in multiple folders, and those folders are within other folders.
2. The files I'm importing are .jpg files.
3. I'm using a mac with After Effects CC
So what I did first after it told me I was missing 210 files, was double click on the first missing file. It prompted me to choose the file in my finder, just like the help said. I double clicked the first file I wanted to replace. It then said that 48 files were recovered. I thought this was great, and repeated the same process for each of the other folders. Everything worked perfectly, except the initial files I clicked on had become some other file type. I tried to replace them but it didn't work. They no longer appeared in the timeline either. so I managed to replace the vast majority of my files, but about 4 of them don't work. I'm posting a screen shot to show you the icon that appears next to them after I recovered them. I have no idea what these icons mean and I can't work with those images. Any idea how to get my original image back in there?

That icon says that this is an image sequence---i.e., a set of images that are treated as one footage item (as a movie), not as independent still image footage items.

File sequence display problem

I am having a problem today that I have never had before. The files in a particular folder that I have imported are not displayed in filename order. When I first imported them they lined up as expected. However as I have continued to work on the 200-or-so images in the folder, they have fallen completely out of filename sequence. I have searched the menus for a way to rearrange and view them by filename without any luck. I do not use key wording, color ratings, or tags. All files are unrated. Yet each time I reopen the folder to work on it, the images are even more out of order. I have tried manipulating library filters to no avail. I am sure there is something really simple that I am overlooking, but I can't figure out what it might be. The out-of-order file sequence is driving me crazy because I need to edit certain groups of files to match each other. However they are scattered about in different parts of the sequence, despite the fact that their filenames should keep them together. Any ideas?

Just an adendum: I realized that the files are lining up by their original camera capture date and time, even though I have completely renamed and sequenced them in another program (Photo Mechanic) before importing them into LR. This is a real puzzler. I can't figure out how LR is ignoring the filenames in favor of the original capture date and time...

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.

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.

Getting Started with FCE - Problems with my imported files

Hi,
I'm trying to get started with Final Cut Express, but I'm experiencing lots of problems when I import my project from iMovie.
My project contains video, which I imported into iMovie at 960 x 540. It also contains some keynote animations, which I exported from Keynote as quicktime files.
When I export my files to FCE, I instantly get problems.
1) When I add the imported file to the sequence, I get an "Attention the clip does not match the sequence's setting or any of your sequence settings" error.
2) Whether I choose to translate my settings or not, I try to play the video in the timeline, but there is a continuous beeping sound, no audio from my video and when it hits the keynote animations, it just says "unrendered" or "media offline".
Please can you offer any advice on how I can get started with FCE more successfully.
Thanks!

Hi(Bonjour)!
(please specify iMovie and FCE version)
Well, your sequence settings in FCE should be DV-PAL 48 Khz.
Create a new sequence.
From iMovie and Keynote, export your movie with quicktime conversion andd select DV-PAL 48 kHz (*And Not* DV Stream...). This material should play without rendering because his format and codec match the sequence's codec.
Import your files and everything should be OK.

The audio should be AIFF 48 kHz 16 bit linear PCM

We have exported our metadata and looked at the doc_EDI_X12.xml file and ALL of these referenced documents exist in that file and can be seen by going to Administration --> Document and under the Document Protocols navigation --> EDI_X12 --> 5010 --> 810 --> 810Def (as an example).
If we strip out all of the SupportedDocumentDefiinition lines then the ant script will build an import file with just the trading partners and Identifications.
What are we doing incorrectly or what is not working properly to get the ant script to build the import zip file??
Thanks for any assistance,
Ken

Does that mean we have to create all of the document type definitions in the selfservice file?
We have created (installed) all of the document types by installing them from the B2B Administration --> Document page.
The definitions in the Trading Partner xml file exactly match the definitions of the installed documents.
In the selfservice.xsd the <element> SelfService shows the profile:DocumentProtocols as minOccurs as 0 :
     <element name="SelfService">
          <complexType>
               <sequence>
                    <element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"
                         ref="profile:DocumentProtocols" />
                    <element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"
                         ref="profile:TradingPartners" />
                    <element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"
                         ref="profile:Agreements" />
               </sequence>
               <attribute name="version" type="profile:non-empty-string"
                    use="optional" />
          </complexType>
     </element>
so we thought that since the documents had already been defined (created/installed) to B2B they would not have to be redefined in the selfservice xml.
If we have to define all of the document types in the selfservice xml file that we are using for the trading partners what are the minimum values that we need to include?
Could we use minimal definitions such as this:
<DocumentProtocols>
<DocumentProtocol name="EDI_X12">
<DocumentProtocolVersion name="4010">
<DocumentType name="850">
<DocumentDefinition name="850def" />
</DocumentType>
<DocumentType name="997">
<DocumentDefinition name="997def" />
</DocumentType>
</DocumentProtocolVersion>
</DocumentProtocol>
</DocumentProtocols>
before the <TradingPartners> section of the seflxervice xml file?
Thanks for your assistance!

FILE SEQUENCE NUMBER PROBLEM

Our requirement is to generate file sequence number using FTP adaptor so that we acheive the following pattern
for eg.,
VAP001.xml
VAP002.xml
VAP003.xml
VAP010.xml
VAP011.xml
i.e., the sequence number will be a fixed length and it should be lpadded with zeroes.
We tried to the following
VAP%SEQ%.xml
then BPEL generated as
VAP1.xml
VAP2.xml
VAP10.xml
We also tried this i.e.,
VAP00%SEQ%.xml
bpel generated
VAP001.xml
VAP002.xml
VAP0010.xml
Pls guide us with a solution. THis is very urgent and important for our business.

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 files has only imported audio, not video

I used FCP7 to capture some footage from DV PAL.
I then went to FCPX, chose "Import Files" and selected the 2 clips I had captured. I chose to copy into the FCPX events library. FCPX only imported the audio, and not the video.
This is the movie info:
DV, 720 x 576 (768 x 576), Millions
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Mono, 48.000 kHz
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Mono, 48.000 kHz
Is this a bug?

Hi Charlottehjc,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Is it happening with a specific .mov file or with all the .mov files.
Right click on the video and choose new sequence from clip, then check if the issue persists.
Also please mention are you using Windows or Mac and the version of Premiere Pro.
Thanks

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.
