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 ) ???

  • Issues with importing photos as "Add" or "Copy."

    I can no longer import images as "Add" or "Copy."  Can only do it as DNG---used to have no issues, but some setting has changed. Tech support could not resolve this issue.  Can anyone help me with this?

    Your photos are not stored in Lightroom.
    You lose nothing by uninstalling/reinstalling, other than your own time.

    Greyed imaged in the Import dialog box mean you have already imported the photos into Lightroom, so there is no need and no benefit to importing them a second time.
    Just go to the Library module, search for the desired photos, and resume working on these photos.

  • A strange issue with importing avi video

    I have a rather strange issue with importing avi files (which playback normally in other programs) into CS4. When I import an avi recorded from my camera into CS 4 in the preview the sound is played back normally, but the video itself is weird. Pretty much roughly first 5% of it are stretched over the whole spand and slowed down to fit. So the video of 4 minutes will play sound normally for 4 minutes, but replay only 10 seconds of video VERY slowly. I'm a bit puzzled because I've used the same camera with CS3 and never encountered this problem. breaking apart and speeding up the video obviously didn't work because the video only displays the first 5 recorded seconds no matter the speed, tweaking with presets didn't work either.

  • 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

  • Issues with importing from excel

    I have been running into a several issues with importing from Excel.
    First my configuration
    I am running SQL Developer ver 1.5.5 Build MAIN-5969
    I am on a Windows XP Professional Version 2002 with Service Pack 3
    I am importing into an Oracle 10g database.
    1. SQL Developer doesn't work on Excel 2007, I have to save all my files into Excel 97-2003 format before I can use them.
    2. If I run into an error loading and stop the process, SQL Developer doesn't release the Excel file and I get a sharing violation if I try to save the spreadsheet without closing SQL Developer.
    3. I have found that I have to set print area to the area I want to work with, otherwise the import wizard tries to keep adding rows.
    4. When using the Import wizard, it keeps adding commas on fields with numerics unless I specify the column in excel as text. Currently the column is formatted as General in the spreadsheet or I can change the wizard format to say the column is an integer, but it actually is just a code field with numeric characters so it may have leading zeroes that I need to keep.
    This might be related,
    I have a column in excel defined as text but only contains numerics. It is of length 4, but the wizard sets a precision of 5 with a datatype of VARCHAR2. If I try to change it to 4, I get an error saying the field is not large enough. Yet, when I do a LEN on the column, it only gives me a 4. I have other fields in the same sheet that a 3 position numeric and 2 position numeric and those are fine. I am thinking this is related to the comma being inserted in a numeric field for anything greater than 3 positions.
    5. Importing excel dates to oracle dates doesn't work. I have to convert the excel date column to text then import as a VARCHAR, then convert to Date once in the database.
    6. The default of nullible is not set on any columns and I have to set them before the import. (I would prefer it set to nullible and I have to uncheck the box to make it not nullible. I would prefer to import all of the data and then deal with the nulls after they have been pulled in)
    7. When I select header columns included it uses that as the column names. Is it possible to do the name length check then? It has bit me a few times where I try to import and forget to check the name length and then I get an error when I start running the import.
    8. If one of the columns to import has all nulls, then the precision comes out to 0 and if it isn't changed an error occurs on import. Could this situation default to a precision of 1?
    9. It would be nice if there was a completion message displayed and a cancel option while running.

    On point 3.
    I have a column in excel that consists of numbers. 4 digit numeric codes. Ex, 1111, 2345, etc
    The column's format is general. It displays as just 4 numbers.
    When I start the wizard initially, the column appears with data as 1,111, 2,345, etc, on the Data Preview screen.
    It determines the precision to be 5 on the column definition screen.
    If I change the precision to 4 then continue, that field will error out when I verify with "not big enough to hold the data in source columns"
    If, I change the excel column to a TEXT column.
    Excel still displays as 1111, 2345, etc
    The wizard then displays the same data 1111, 2345 on the Data Previeiw screen
    Yet, when I get to the column definition screen it still sizes it as a 5
    If I change it to a 4, I get the same error when verifying.
    If I leave them alone as 5, then it processes just fine.

  • I would like to burn an i-photo album with subtitles to a CD with the photos in the same sequence as they appear in the album and to have the CD work the same on a PC as on the MAC.

         I have created several i-photo albums with subtitles and proceeded to burn them to a CD. The CD burned with the correct subtitles, however, the photos did not appear in the same sequence.  I tried another method and the photos appeared in the proper sequence, however, my subtitles did not appear as in the albums. Is there a method that I can burn an album to a CD with the photos in the same sequence and with the same subtitles as in the album?
         I would also like this CD to work the same on a PC as it does on a MAC.

    sorry but files on a CD have no order - filles are simply bits on the disk - the file viewer used to view them determines the order of viewing - for example using the finder on the Mac you can view files in Alpha order, date created order, date modified order, file size  order, etc, etc, etc
    If you expor tthe files to a desktop folder using the sequetial option then the finder (and probably Windows explorer) would display them in the order you want IF the user views them in alpha order
    Bottom line is that you have no control over how the end user views files - that they make

  • JDev 10.1.3.3 - issues with imported Business Components

    Hi,
    I have got some issues with importing Business Components in JDev 10.1.3.3.
    I cannot discover/use the imported components.
    What I did is the folowing:
    1. In a existing project I extended the default base-classes to create our own layer
    2. created a project called ModelShared
    2a. configured the project to use the base-classes I created in step 1
    2b. created an entitybased-viewobject (RefCodesByDomain)
    2c. created bc deployment-descriptors
    3. created a project called RelatieModel in the same workspace as ModelShared
    3a. added dependencies to the deployment-descriptors as well as the project created in step 2
    3b. configured the project to use the base-classes I created in step 1
    3c. imported business components
    Although I did not recieve any errors during the import of business components, I am unable to add the vo (RefCodesByDomain) to a service.
    I do see the package which contains the vo but is has no entries.
    Importing the business components to a new BC Project in a seperate workspace did succeed (I could reuse the vo).
    I tested a little further and the folowing occurred:
    4. I created a new vo in the ModelShared Project
    5. I deployed the ModelShared
    6. Restarted JDeveloper
    7. Got the folowing error message in the console window when expanding a service in my datacontrol pallette:

    8. In my other "fresh" bc project I was able to use the newly created vo.
    9. When I added a VO to my shared project, all projects that are refering to the shared project loose their vo's in the data-controlpannel
    Do you have any suggestions?

  • I think I am having shutter issues with my 5D mark iii. image is vignetting on top of frame.

    I think I am having shutter issues with my 5D mark iii. image is vignetting on top of frame. ( left side when shooting portrait).
    does not happen all the time. shoot 20 frames, not a problem then will happen 4 or 5 in a row or every other shot for a few shots.
    Studio situation with 4 lights but it is not a light issue. subject is dark also. all lights fire at full.  happens weather at 1/100 or down to 1/20. these 4 examples were shot at 1/50  f 10 iso 100. raw converted to jpeg. shooting teathered but I dont think that matters. has anyone else had shutter issues? can any one from canon give me any info or help??

    It may be that the flash is firing as the shutter is opening... but if you're having an issue with a sticking shutter, the shutter isn't completely open when the flash fires.  
    If this is the case then it wouldn't matter how long the shutter is open because the flash doesn't provide light continuously when the shutter is open... it only gives a burst.  That momentary burst is normally fired at the moment the shutter finishes opening up completely (but if the shutter is sticky and isn't completely finished opening when the flash fires... you'd have a dark edge.)
    If you used 2nd curtain shutter so that it doesn't fire until the moment before the shutter is intended to close, you shouldn't see vignetting even if the shutter is sticking.
    But this makes me wonder what the shutter count is on your body and if it needs service.

  • PSE 11 and PS CC issues with import/open and saving

    Good afternoon,
    I have had PSE 11 for several months but have hardly touched it due to two problems. When I try to import images into the organizer, if I choose any location other than the default that opens, the whole program freezes and I have to force quit to get out of it. I have been able to open files by going to      File - get photos and videos - by searching....When I can get them, they load at snail speed. I've done a few projects and when I go to save, I have the same issue. This has caused me to loose several projects as again, the whole program freezes and I have to force quit.
    I just signed up for the photographer's black Friday deal and downloaded PS. I am having the same issue. If I go to open a file in PS and choose anywhere other than the default location, the box closes immediately and I can't get anything to open. Thankfully, the program doesn't freeze up like PSE 11, but this is so frustrating. I have Lightroom and have issues there too. What is going on!
    Thanks

    I am having a similar issue with photoshop CC. I am on a mac and just upgraded to maverick (
    OS X 10.9 (13A603)) and since the update any time I want to open or place a file it closes the window.
    Something worse happened on windows 8.1 when I upgraded that OS Illustrator and photoshop just crashed once it was open. I had to uninstall and reinstall both applications and it worked.
    I tried the same thing on the mac and uninstalled photoshop, then reinstalled it but I that did not resolve the issue. I have a video of what it is doing. The two workarounds I found was to drag the images into photoshop or create a new file then go to file open which you will see in the video.
    If there is a fix for this please let me know, it is very frustrating!

  • Issues with Import in Lightroom4

    I am using lightroom 4 on a 2008 Mac Pro running the latest verison of MAC OSX.
    My lightroom 3 catalog wasa upgraded successfully with no issues
    Now when i try to import photos from my Canon 5D camera (The original 5D) it keeps saying that there are no files to import.
    I tried unchecking the Dont Import Suspected duplicates and still it did not help.
    I formatted my complete CF card in camera, took a couple of new pictures and still the same issue.
    When this happens after i say ok, the option to import is greayed out completely and I have to restart Lightroom for it to work again or try the import again.
    I also have a secondary problem - When i connect my camera LR3 used to prompt me to import the photos automatically. LR4 is not doing it.
    I went to image capture and made LR4 the default app to open when i connect the camera and LR4 opens promptly, but doesnt bring up the import screen.

    Hi All,
    First, I apologize for the troubles folks have been having with customer service.  To be clear, this is a bug, and we're working on fixing it.  Since it's a bug, the best that customer service will be able to do is offer you a workaround.  Two known workarounds are:
    1.  Copy the photos from the camera to your hard drive, and then import from the hard drive.
    2.  Import using a card reader, rather than connecting the camera directly.
    These are methods that you can use until we have provided an actual fix for the issue.
    Second, I had suggested that changing your camera's connection method (assuming your camera offers such an option) might make a difference.  But in fact, I think I was wrong about that, and it won't make any difference either way.  If anyone on this thread is willing to do a little testing for me, however, I do have something else I'd like you to try.
    In my tests, the import from the camera only failed if the camera had been set to shoot raw+jpeg.  So, try the following:
    1.  Format the memory card in the camera (after having copied the pictures off of it, of course).
    2.  Set your camera to shoot only raw (NOT raw+jpeg).
    3.  Take one photo.
    4.  Connect the camera to your computer, and attempt to import into Lightroom from the camera.
    Does it work?  If it does, then try switching it back:
    1.  Format the memory card in your camera (after having copied the pictures off of it).
    2.  Set your camera to shoot raw+jpeg.
    3.  Take one photo.
    4.  Connect the camera to your computer and attempt to import into Lightroom from the camera.
    Does it fail again?  If so, then your findings will corroborate my findings, and that will be very helpful for us in tracking down this issue.
    Lastly, for folks who are experiencing problems importing from a connected iPad, I would caution you that it is entirely possible that that is a completely separate problem, and it might be a good idea to start a separate thread for that issue.
    Thanks,
    Ben

  • Issue with Import/Add function

    I have been having an issue with a difference between the position of files in Finder & the position in whcih they are shown LR 5.
    In Finder the folder view will be
    Neils Photos
       021 2013 01July - 31 Dec
          131123 HMAS Adelaide
             131123LOC001 (this is the image file)
    In LR 5 the folder view will appear as
    Neils Photos
      021 2013 01July - 31 Dec
         131123 HMAS Adelaide
      131123 HMAS Adelaide
            131123LOC001 (this is the image file)
    If I try to move the image to the correct folder in LR it will not allow it saying that the image already exists in that folder.
    When I RMC & selected "show in parent folder" I received the following message.
    An Internal Error Has Occurred
    Database “/Users/neilvincent/Pictures/Lightroom/Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat”: columns rootFolder, pathFromRoot are not unique Statement: UPDATE AgLibraryFolder SET rootFolder=?Where id_local=?;
    At first I thought this issue was being created by a plug-in but it is happening any time I "Import/Add" an image to LR.
    If I download from a camera, card or remote hard drive using Copy as DNG, copy, or move the image is shown correctly in LR. If I use Add to import an image or if I use a plug-in to create a HDR or panorama & save back to LR I have an issue. In the case of the plug-in the program is creating the image saving to to a location then Adding the file to LR. LR creates a new folder of the same name as the original folder but higher in the folder tree structure, it then shows the Added image in this folder rather than the folder it really is in.
    In the panels on the RHS the only box ticked is "Don't import suspected duplicates" but I don't see this panel when using a plug-in.
    The work around is to put the file into another folder & then move & import into LR.
    Is there a fix for this?

  • Images imported from QT exported image sequence have jagged edges

    Hi
    I've come across something strange which I'd like to resolve.
    I export an image sequence from QuickTime.
    I then import this into Aperture.
    But the images imported into Aperture now have jagged edges where there has been any movement in the original footage.
    The images originally exported from QuickTime look absolutely fine when viewed with preview, they have the expected blurring on moving objects, but no jaggedness.
    Now, a bit more detail.
    The footage I'm exporting from was shot by me and came from a Final Cut Pro edit.
    The codec in the QT movie is Apple Intermediate Codec and this is interlaced.
    The jagged edges on movement look to me like the problem of interlaced not being converted to progressive.
    However the exported images from QuickTime don't display this when viewed in Preview, it is only when viewed in Aperture that the jagged edges become apparent.
    I have tried exporting from QuickTime to jpg, png and psd, but the problem is identical no matter which format I use.
    I really want to now use Aperture to improve these exported images, but with this jagged edge problem I can't.

    Hi JNorris--
    Sounds like you need to apply the deinterlace filter (Effects tab: video filters: video: deinterlace) to the stills your exporting.
    See if that makes a difference to start.

  • Issues with nested for loops - saving images from a camera

    Hi all,
    I've written a vi. to capture a specific number of images ('Image No') and save these images, outputted to a folder of my choice.  Each image is identified sequentially.  However, I wish to do a number of iterations ('Run') of this capture sequence, such that the filename of each image would be 'Filename (Run)_(Image No).png', e.g. run 5, image 10 would be 'Filename 5_10.png'.  I have tried a nested for loop for this but I receive an error 'Asynchronous I/O operation in progress' (I've attached a printscreen).
    Can anyone assist me in solving this problem? I preiously posted this in machine Vision but got no response (http://forums.ni.com/t5/Machine-Vision/Capturing-image-sequences-issues-with-nested-for-loops/m-p/19...).  Please find attached my vi.
