Large image sequence - dead swipe area

Hi Guys
I have a large image sequence on a page, which means I have a large area that is "dead" to swipe to next page.
I thought I could add over the top a dummy button of a fake 2 state MSO that would be swipeable, but that doesnt work either.
I'm on sprint 19is that the issue? I thought that a "large fake button sitting on top of the image sequence would mean the area became
swipeable again, I used an animated gif in a web view before, but wasnt happy with the Gif image quality, but at least the large area of the web view
box reacted to swipe forward etc.
Any thoughts?
Cheers
Alistair

in order to work around this problem you need to create a button that:
a) has a 'click' state as well as a normal state
b) it has to have an action assigned to it.
i fixed this problem using the following method:
1. I created a button that has also a 'click' state.
2. then i created a dummy MSO that is colorless and has two identicle states
3. i assigned the button with an action to switch the dummy MSO states.
now the area of the button is swipable also in PDF articles.
hope it will work for you!

  • Best way to work with large image sequences

    Hello,
    Im relatively new to Adobe CS4. I am learning to create detailed animations with another software that produces thousands of still images. (I normally save them as  .png, 720 x 480, 29.97 fps) I spent the money to buy CS4 becuase I was told this was what I needed to turn those images into video, add titles, captions, credits, etc. So far, I've been useing PremierPro to import the image sequences and add titles. But when I export the sequences, the quality is crap. I've tried all combinations of exporting formats, but even when I try to go for the greatest quality, my files are 100 MB large, and the quality is still crap (nice smooth lines are jagged, and details are blurry and pixilated, even with the titles I added). Can someone tell me how I should be working with these still image sequences so that I can retain the best quality while keeping the file size large. These videos are just played on local computer systems, not over a network or on DVDs. I dont know if I should be bringing the shorter clip sequences into AfterEffects and somehow exporting those. I just dont know. But nothing is working for me. Help!
    Nikki

    Hello!,
    The output frame size has so far been the same as my rendering size (720 x 480), but I's just trying to get the best quality, if I need to render larger I can. Delivery has so far just been video, no audio, although when I get better at this I will record narrations of the animations and put that in. Playback is intended only for computers. Every once in a while, it is requested in a format that will be played over our network, but I wanted to worry about that later.
    The preset I chose for the sequence was the DV-NTSC Standard 32kHz
    The project/sequence settings are:
    General
         Editing Mode: DV NTSC
         Timebase: 29.97 fps
    Video
         Frame size: 720, 480 4:3
         Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1/DV NTSC (0.9091)
         Display Format: 30 fps Non-Drop-Frame Timecode
    Audio
         doesnt matter
    Video Previews
         Preview File Format: NTSC DV
         Codec: DV NTSC
         Maximum Bit Depth
    Hope that was the information you requested.

  • Large image sequences in Flash - How to reduce memory usage?

    So I'm trying to publish a looping animation in Flash with a large amount of image sequences in it. (around 3000 frames all told). And I'm having problems with the swf using too much memory when it's played.
    The swf is about 80mb, but the file uses an excess of 2gb of ram when played. I don't know why that would be. A memory leak?
    My understanding is: that Flash will just load all images in a swf into memory unless you dump the memory somehow.Can anyone explain how to do this? Is it possible? I can't seem to find a solution online.
    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply. I think I was being just overly ambitious trying to get this to play in swf form on sub 4gb ram machines. I've resorted to external video.

  • Importing large image sequences takes too long

    ...in fact sometimes will even lock up our workstations completely. 
    Shorter sequences are no problem, but when we get to lengths of 10,000+ files it really slows down.  It doesn't seem to matter what the files are, where they are (local or SAN), or what machine I'm using.
    Is this normal?

    It sounds as if you might be running into the maximum number of images AE can import as a single footage item.  However, let's eliminate the obvious.  Can you confirm you're importing a sequence as a single footage item?
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/aftereffects/cs/using/WS3878526689cb91655866c1103906c6dea-7f78 a.html#WS3878526689cb91655866c1103906c6dea-7f77a
    Unfortunately, the link above doesn't list the maximum number of images AE allows in a sequence; it would be helpful if it did.

  • Jumpy playback from image sequences rendered in Apple Prores and then exported to h264

    I will start by saying I have been using FCP since 1.0 and am in no way new to this software, but this issue has me going crazy.
    First the Specs:
    MacPro 2 x 2.66 Quad cor Intel Xeon
    16 gig Ram
    OS 10.9.2
    FCP 7.0.3 (sorry but I am not a fan of FCP10 at all)
    In other words, a beast of a system that has played back everything I have ever built on it for years until now. So now for the issue: I work with an amazing 3D Max builder and we have created a building animation exported from that program into and image sequence ( we have tried JPG, TGA and PNG still all with the same effect). I open Quicktime 7 Pro, build the image sequence, save as .mov, import into FCP and drop it into my 1080p30 Apple Prores (HQ ... we also tried SQ) timelines. The timeline renders perfectly and I can play the video perfectly through my system out of Firewire 800 to my Motu V4HD device which then converts the signal to HDMI to my 55" LED TV. The video and playback is perfect.... until:
    If I try to play back the same exact time line into an exported video file, the file will play back with random jumpyness in it. I say random since you can play it back 10 times and it will hiccup during playback at different spots in the video. If you review every frame in the file though using Quicktime 10, 7 or VLC viewer, every frame is perfect. So, it must be the data rate right? Wrong. I have exported now to H264 MP4, M4V, MOV , ect, etc at different data rates from 4mb to 40 mb per second. They all have the same randow jumpyness to it. So it must be my computer right? Nope. I have a Macbook pro that is more powerful than this machine and I rebuild the file using the same method (something I have done a thousand times before) and the exported file does the same thing on that machine. I had my friend do it on his machine... same thing. ERRRR....
    We have even tried using After Effects and Premier to the same result. Rendered it straight from Quicktime Pro, same. Rendered it to 720p30, same. Render it to 24fps, same. I had another editor render it using whatever methods he wanted to use... same. Tried Compressor, SAME.  Tried Adobe Media Encoder, SAME......We even, god forbid, used a PC running Premier and built the image sequence and rendered to h264 at 30fps, 5mbs.... @#$@#$ SAME!
    We just remade the 3D Studio Max export into a 60fps animation since I thought that the individual frames we appearing too far apart and thus causing the jumpyness. That was causing the playback of the upclose objects flying across the screen fast to appear jittery, but not the random playback jumps. The 60fps did smooth out the animation greatly during fast flybys, but the playback jumps are still there in all players, QT, VLC, the web, etc.
    I was starting to think this issue is realted to Mavericks, but since the PC did the same thing that is not it either. I have linked a sample of the clip below exported to 720p30, 25mbs... something that is much smaller than the original and should playback smooth very easily on any of my systems.
    FYI: I have now opened numerous projects I have edited over the last few years and noticed that all of them are now jumpy, so this isn't just an image sequence issue. While the other projects don't use image sequences and instead are shot footage edited together, there is still the random jump (far less than the image sequence as you will see) but they are now there... ***? I have cleared preferences in FCP which helps for a short period of time, but once exported I get the same glitch.
    As I said... I am stumped... ANYONE have ideas for me to try?
    Here is a sample file for you all to see and please tell me if anyone does not see the issue after playing it several times in a row.
    www.media3lv.com/switch/NORTH-sample-720p30_25mb-sec.zip
    One last thing to note... my main goal for these videos is YouTube or Vimeo playback via our company website. I have a few other animations online right now using YouTube and the problem is also showing there. At first I thought it was just my videos, but I have looked at numerous YouTube videos now showing 3D animation and alot of them are jumpy.
    www.supernap.com/supernap-building-design.html
    www.supernap.com/supernap-tscif-exchange.html
    These don't show the issue as bad since the camera fly is much slower, but why is this occuring and is it coming from my source, or is this a known youtube issue? I can program this using out own modules, but YouTube and Vimeo allow for multiple resolutions and a checker script which makes it easier to share over all devices at all quality up to 1080p.
    Advice is welcome and appreciated?

    I have tried at actual, full screen, using 1080p30 size from the original compressed to 4mbs (something my system can handle without blinking), 720p30, etc. etc. etc.  Nothing stops the jumps. Even the activity monitor shows only 5%-15% processing being used by QT and/or FCP.
    I plan to pull my old G5 out of the closet, it runs 10.6.8 and is still rock solid for video editing in FCP7.  If it plays smooth on that 8 year old system then I know it's Mavericks. I'll try that tonight. It floors me though why the original 1080p30 will playback perfect via FCP and Motu, but once I turn of external monitoring and just try to play it via the preview monitor it is jumpy as **** and then the exported file does the same thing.  So strange.  I even deleted prefences of FCP and that does help with screen playback initially, but it always gets jumps in it after playing for a while.
    I knew I should not have started using Mavericks and I HATE FCP10.

  • How to name image sequences with the convention "name.[####].extention"?

    Quicktime doesn't seem to respond to the naming convention used in other programs like After Effect or Combustion for naming image sequences when you are exporting the sequence. It does let you put a space before the sequential numbering but this is no good for using image sequences in Maya for example. During the save prompt if we were to save the image sequence as AppleMovie.[####].jpg in these programs we would yield an image sequence with AppleMovie.0001.jpg, AppleMovie.0002.jpg, AppleMovie.0003.jpg, etc. Anyone know if there is a way to do this as I've described?

    Open ExtendScript Toolkit this can be found here:-
    PC: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities
    MAC: <hard drive>/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities
    Copy and paste the code into a new window and then save the code to:-
    PC: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS#\Presets\Scripts
    Mac:- [hard drive]/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS#/Presets/Scripts/
    If photoshop was open, close and re-start it so that Photoshop can pick up the new script.
    Now you can create an action to run the script and do your save so that this action can be batched.
    To add the script to your action:
    File - Scripts - select the script (this will add the new layer)

  • Offline/Missing Image Sequences in After Effects CS6 with Color Bars

    I am working on a stop motion animation in After Effects CS6.  Each clip has been imported as an image sequence from stills on my hard drive.  When I open up After Effects, all image sequences now have color bars over them, as if they are offline.  Trying to reload them does nothing.  I cannot 'link media' because it isn't just one file; it's an image sequence so there are many of them. 
    I first noticed this when the color bars appeared in my dynamically linked comps inside of Premiere Pro.  Everything played smoothly the first time I opened the project in Premiere CS6, after originating in CS5.5.  Then the second time I opened up Premiere, the color bars appeared on the linked comps.  I hadn't yet opened up my AE project in CS6 yet, so when I did, AE converted the project and I resaved it. 
    Any help related to this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks everyone, I think I'm beginning to solve this.
    Rick, thanks for your advice.  I tried this and it worked.  The reason I didn't do this before is that, because it is stop motion, I couldn't remember how many frames I had imported for each sequence.  For instance, if I shot 54 images and only imported 52 into the sequence, I wouldn't remember which 52 images to import...this might still be causing a problem, but I don't know yet.  I think in most cases I imported all the images in a folder, so the image sequences should be fine.
    I am having another problem, however.  Even though the issue seems to be fixed in AE, it doesn't seem to be fixed in Premiere...each image sequence is dynamically linked from AE, but each dynamically linked comp is still being show with color bars as they did in AE...I think that maybe my Premiere project is still linking to the old CS5.5 AE project, and not the new one opened and saved in CS6...

  • Request: vertical / horizontal option for "swipe to change image" in the Image Sequence tab

  • Images in image sequence are messed up

    hey guys, I'm having an odd problem. I have an image sequence with both landscape and portrait layout photos. I placed the sequence in motion and for some reason all the portait layout images and some of the landscape layout images are not centered in the sequence. They're scattered all over the place. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do?

    Chances are your display driver doesn't properly support Photoshop's OpenGL needs.
    There are some very nice features tied to GPU accelerated drawing.  You should investigate whether there's a newer/better display driver available on the web site of the maker of your video card / GPU, and see if you can get better image quality using the accelerated features.  Normally the presentation is a good bit BETTER looking (when zooming, for example) with OpenGL enabled.

  • Want to Resize Images that are Exported as an Image Sequence

    Recently started shooting HD. When I use "Image Sequence" to create a mass of video stills/frame grabs, the result is massive in size that takes up my whole monitor. I then use another program to shrink them down to 720 width and watermark them. I'm pretty sure I'm losing a lot of sharpness when I do this. I think if I could export directly from FCE at 720 it would look a lot better. Is there a way to export the "Image Sequence" in a size smaller than the original size of the video?
    Failing that, anyone know a mac-compatible program that can do this with a 15 min video and make stills at 2 per second like FCE does, while resizing? Thank you!

    Thanks Michel!
    But does what u r saying apply to Final Cut Express, which is what I have? I watched a vid on nesting in FCP on a HowTo tube and it looked very easy. You just select the sequence and then go to Sequence>Nest & then it allows to to pick a video size. But that exact function doesnt exist in FCE.
    According to a post on a diff forum an expert said "There is no nest items function in FCE". But there are some references to nesting in the FCE manual but it doesnt say how to change the size of the video in the sequence.
    So is there any way to export an "Image Sequence" or even a "Still Image" in FCE in a size smaller than the source video? If there isn't it'd be almost silly.
    Thanks to anyone who knows.

  • Exporting Large videos as image sequences using Quick Time Convert

    I am trying to export some fairly long videos as image sequences >10000 frames with Final Cut Pro using the quick time conversion tool.
    I am working with SD and HD videos.
    While some sequences export without error (both SD & HD) occasionally an "error" occurs which results in the 10000th frame (and in one case the 1000th frame) not being written. The File is opened as "MyVideoName#FFFFFFF.png" but no data is written to it. (Obviously it should be MyVideoName10000.png)
    There is 500Gb of free space on the disk I am writing to.
    At the moment I can't even work out why it fails in some instances - apart from the fact it seems to be related to the file name.
    I would appreciate any help any one can offer!
    Thanks,

    Thanks for your reply!
    So far I've not managed to come up with a workable solution.
    Exporting as an image sequence is infact a work around... I originally was planning to export the videos as uncompressed .avi files but (as documented elsewhere) this does not work for videos >10Gb.
    Some videos have exported fine both those longer and shorter than 10000 frames. However, for some videos only the first 9999 frames are exported. As a workaround I was planning to export the remainder of the videos seperately (as a subclip) but this only managed to export the first 999 frames (the 1000th file opened is called MyVideoName#FFFFFFFF, but no data is written to it).
    At the moment I can't find any explanation for the cause of this problem. Are there any logs or any way to get more detailed error information?
    Thanks again for your help,

  • What are the best image sequence settings (fps)

    Hi all,
    I have a video that I'm wanting to loop and as it's only six seconds I've made an image sequence out of it and can loop it nicely. The problem is it's a bit jerky so I was wondering what other people use for the frame rate etc.
    I've made the movie in photoshop, it is a 3D model which I've animated on the timeline (360 degree revolve). I can specify any frame rate for the timeline, any for the export and any for the image sequence overlay.
    I imagine that I would match all three but what is going to give me the smoothest result?
    Also I'm exporting as png's, they seem to give lower file size is this the best format?
    Cheers
    G.

    Ok. Thanks for the pointers, I've gone and tried a couple of options.
    I've did manage to crop the file down so it's now 696x953px. I then did a few other tests and found that if I took the Photoshop timline down to one second and adjusted the frame rate this way it was easier to get the final amount of frames (maybe just easier to work it out in my head, I am still fairly new to this).
    I've then adjusted the timing in the image sequence settings to give me the speed and length of loop I'm after.
    My final settings that have given me a good result and very small file size are:
    Photoshop
    48fps (1 second timeline)
    Export as PNG
    InDesign
    Speed 12fps
    This gives me a 4 second loop which is shorter than I orignally planned but looks quite good.

  • I have an image sequence in JPG and when I select open image sequence, select all does not work and I can only highlight one frame at a time.  I want to import these frames into QT7 to make a time lapse clip.  Any suggestions

    I have an image sequence in JPG that I want to import into quitck time 7 for making a time lapse clip.   It has an option to open the image sequence, but when I do, it only lets me highlight one frame at a time.  The select all option seems to do nothing when I click on it trying to highlight all the frames. 
          If QT7 is not designed to perform this function, is there another alternative?   iMovie is non intuitive for this kind of operation and I cannot find a clear tutorial for using it to make time lapse clips from a sequence of still frames.  
           The tutorials Ive found on YouTube are well intended, but they all seem to leave out a vital step that eludes detection.  
      Anyway, any help appreciated. 
    Thanks
       I am new to this forum and I'm not sure I can locate this thread again once I'm out of it.
    <Email Edited by Host>

      Yes, I tried that.   The files were ordered by their original numbers as imported from the camera, but I batched them through Phocoshop to downsize all of them into a more manageable file size.   I opened that destination folder from quick time  from where it said select image sequence.   I clicked on the first one and opened it.   The result was a large image with an arrow indicating a movie was ready to go.   When I pressed the arrow, though, I realized it had only imported that one frame so there was no movie.   The files are Jpgs and are about 450 KB each. 
        To your knowledge are there any links to iMovie tutorials or quick time tutorials that may address this situation?  Maybe there will be one I haven't looked at yet. 
        Thanks

  • Image Sequences and Batch Processing: Can opening files from different folders as image sequences be set up as an action for batch processing?

    I have an ongoing series of tasks that necessitates opening the contents of a series of folders as image sequences.
    I'm used to setting up some fairly complex actions, including ones that are intended to be applied to all of the contents of materials in various subfolders, but for some reason I cannot get an Open-with-Image-Sequence-Checked action to set up in a way that will batch process correctly.
    Complicating matters is that the file prefixes (i.e., the letters before the sequential numbers) and the folders will always have different names from the last time the process had to be carried out.
    The steps I would like the action to carry out would be the following:
    1. Open Subfolder 1 - that is, Photoshop shouldn't be looking for a specific folder. It's just *any* subfolder to the current parent folder.
    2. Select first file in sequenced set of files.
    3. Open as an image sequence.
    4. Open Subfolder 2.
    5. Select first file in sequenced set of files.
    6. Open as an image sequence.
    ...rinse and repeat until Photoshop runs out of subfolders to check.
    Am I asking the impossible?
    Thanks!

    I'll look around there,  because I had posted something about this and was told to look here ps-scripts - Browse /Image Processor Pro/v3_0 at SourceForge.net  
    then this is the image here:

  • Rendering very high-resolution image sequence

    I'm in the process of rendering a very high-resolution image sequence (8k, 2:1 aspect ratio). Yes, in this case it really is necessary to render such a large image.
    Not entirely surprisingly, I'm getting an error during rendering. "Unable to allocate space for an 8000x4000 pixel image buffer."
    I have a relatively powerful machine (Mac Pro, 8 cores, 16gb ram, plenty of hard drive space)
    How should I tune the memory settings for this process? Also, are there any "under the hood" tweaks that I can make in AE to optimize it for rendering these large files.
    Thanks!

    We get questions like this often around here and I, too, will be interested by the destination for this rendering.
    Such a mosaic cannot be displayed from a single device so it's not necessary at all to render it as a complete frame. If you are going to a digital signage system, there are workarounds for importing the source video that should be provided by the signage driver's mfr. If you're going out to several synced display systems, render them as individual movies.
