Making a video from sequenced still images in PrE 8

Running into a little glitch. The jpegs were created in a program called 3DVia Composer. I created 420 jpegs in animation sequence. The program default named them in sequence issfp_anim1.jpg - issfp_anim420.jpg.  When I import the images I sort by oldest first, but it's not sorting by oldest first. It seems to ignore the time stamp and sort by name in what it thinks is ascending order; everything that begins with 1 followed by everything that begins with 2 by everything that begins with 3, etc.
Any help?

Thanks Steve. I tried that. When I tried the edit columns feature there was not date
column available. There was a shot/take column and I tried that along
with a few others like Description, but the new columns never displayed any information. The date taken and last date saved should have been the same, because I haven't manipulated the images at all. They all have the same date (yesterday) just all with different times. For some stange reason, they all have as the last date saved 8:22 am today, which is when I opened them in PrE. I think the auto save feature in PrE changed the date. And PrE is interpreting the order by alpha-numeric name as issfp_anim1.jpg,  issfp_anim10.jpg,  issfp_anim100.jpg,  issfp_anim101.jpg,  issfp_anim102.jpg, etc

  • I am making a video out of still images.

    I am making a video out of still images.  I would like to start zoomed in on a certain image and have the video show the image as it zooms out.  I would like the speed of the zoom to be the same from start to finish.  How can i achieve this?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Sounds like Ken Burns in the Crop function is exactly what you're looking for.

  • Pulling video from a disk image?

    is there anyway to pull video from a disk image or would i have to burn to DVD then rip the video back to my computer? if so, does anyone know of any good ripping software?

    Hi Kyle,
    no, a disk image is an image of a disk (what have I said right now???), meaning, as the content of a physical dvd, you're not able to change any content on that "virtual" disk... (maybe some mpg voodoo masters can, me not)
    as you said: burn dvd, and.... (I love to write that):
    get for 20$ the Apple mpeg2 plugin
    and for free the tool Streamclip
    http://danslagle.com/mac/iMovie/tips_tricks/6010.shtml
    http://danslagle.com/mac/iMovie/tips_tricks/6018.shtml
    best practise anyhow, is to go back to iM project! you're loosing quality with ripping dvds, they use a socalled lossy compressor.... so, in any case you have the project, a backup, some Quicktime-dv copy of it.....?

  • IMovie edit video from digital still cameras...

    The information states that you can edit video from you still digital cameras. Access it through the media browser. There is an option for iPhoto videos, but when I try to look there my videos are not there. It appears they did not add any functionality or import feature of previously unsupported videos. Most all SONY digital cameras record video as MPEG1 Muxed, 640 x 480 pixels. I can play them in QT but still can not edit them in iMovie.
    Am I missing something?

    Barry, this is from Apple's page New in iMovie08
    *Expanded format support.*
    iMovie supports standard and high definition video, as well as the most popular formats, including DV, HDV, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and even AVCHD.
    Looks like MPEG-1 is not supported

  • Need Help Pasting Key Frames from one still image to others, and Changing the duration of multiple still images.

    I'm working on a stop motion project, and I have at least a thousand still images to work with.
    I have adjusted several Key Frame settings on the 1st still image in my project, such as
    Brightness
    Cropping
    Scale
    Position
    I now want to apply these exact settings to hundreds of still images at a time that make up one scene in the project (but not all still images in the entire project).. Is there a way to paste or easily transfer them?
    Also, there are scenes I'm working on in which I want to change the image duration of hundreds of photos at once, but not change to duration of all images in the project, is this possible?
    I've looked at several different web-links, but none of them have what I'm looking for. If you can please help me, I'd be willing to send you $10 through paypal. Knowledge is power; the solution to these problems would save me hours of time. If you don't fully understand my questions I can send you a pictures or a video, pointing out my needs.

    Stan,
    Thanks again for your input.
    When the project is created, I don't recall seeing the preference settings until after the project opens the first time.  In that case if certain media was imported into the project panel but not in the sequence, after the duration was changed, it would be necessary to remove the media from the project panel then re-import again.  If there is a workaround to this please let me know.  It also doesn't appear that creating a new sequence would prevent the re-importing.  Could you confirm?
    Thanks for the link on automating to sequence--I remember that from CS4.
    The application of identical effects to media on the timeline in a sequence was something I had learned back in CS3 or maybe earlier CS4 where the effected, in this case a transition between images was applied then copied then using the paste or (Control V) command, applied to all other stills.  That worked fine but with lots of images, it ends up being a lot of "point and clicks" since the CTI must be moved to each transition insertion point before the paste is applied. 
    I actually thought that I had seen someone select the remainder of the images in the sequence then apply the paste command but I was never able to make that work.  Have you heard of such a short-cut?
    Much thanks again!!

  • Keeping video proportions during still image export/import

    What I'm doing is exporting a still image to the Mac desktop, then dropping it into Photo-to-Movie where I create pans and zooms on it, then exporting the pan/zoom sequence as a Quicktime movie that I drop back into FCE and splice into the Timeline.
    Trouble is, the image in the pan/zoom sequence always comes back into FCE distorted (elongated), I guess because the exported still image that it was made from reverts to the square pixels during the export process from FCE.
    So, my question is, in what form should I export the still image from FCE so that it retains the proportions it has in the video, so that when I operate on it in Photo-to-Movie and then bring it back into FCE, it still has the proportions of a video (NTSC) image?
    In other words, I need to retain the video (NTSC) image's proportions throughout the process of export, then creating pan/zooms on it in Photo-to-Movie, and then reimporting it into FCE.
    To accomplish this, I presume I have to either export it from FCE in some special NTSC-video-compatible form, or else convert it in Photoshop to an NTSC-compatible image before I drop it into PTM, create the pan/zoom sequence, and then bring that sequence back into FCE.
    I'd be grateful if anyone could suggest a solution to this problem.
    Tom

    Hello Tom Baker 1
    My friend let me tell you something - I TOTALLY share your frustrations, and disgust with the poor results of Keyframe (within FCE).
    I am not a software engineer, but my perseverance to try and try again, is far above average.
    At the risk of getting on a soapbox, (and I can attest to my excellent equipment capability), please believe me, (like yourself), I've paid my dues trying to get Keyframing to work suitably with stills in FCE.
    I think I can safely say, beyond all doubt, if you want to get satisfactory results in regard to pans and zooms, (without being a math major), some options for reliability and smoothness are: 'Photo to Movie' (just as you're doing), Fotomagico, http://boinx.com/fotomagico/overview/, (although I've only heard it's pretty good) - haven't tried it yet.
    OR
    A recent discovery of mine: Lyric Media Pan and Zoom http://www.lyric.com/fcp-plugins/panzoompro/pzp.htm - The really nice thing about this is that it's a FC, or FCE Plug In, and utilizes FC's keyframe software engine. Why is it different than Keyframe by itself in FCE? Because (so far), what I can see is that it sort of fixes the mickey-mousery, herky-jerky nightmare of Keyframe within FCE. To me it sure looks like it can take whatever pixel size you throw at it, (and without being a math major having to apply cautionary resizing to every darn still), it just does the job. Yes it seems to do the re-sizing for you, and consequently produces smooth, reliable motion to stills.
    Of course the advantage to this is that you're finally using an application (within FCE), to create your pans and stills right there. No exporting/importing of QT files as with Photo to Movie, or iMovie. And the parameters of control are more sophicated than Photo to Movie.
    Again, I'm still working with it, and I still need to master it, but it sure beats keyframe.
    One side note:
    I really love the crispness of an iMovie pan or zoom, but we all know by now that it's downfall are the dreaded 'JAGGIES'. As confirmed here on the forum, what seems to make Photo to Movie work so well, is the fact that by it's very nature of design, it automatically smoothes out, and probably reduces or resizes images so that they will NOT produce unwanted glistening (aliasing). And as once said here, your eye will accept this softening of an image, far better than the Jaggies, or the herky jerky.
    With all that said, I hope I didn't rant on too much - as I mentioned, there's nothing like 'experience'.
    Peace

  • IMovie shows video but plays still image!

    Just been editing a 20 min project and at one point it has a short video clip followed, after a transition, by another short clip then after a transition by still images.
    All looks OK in the project window, but when I skim or play the sequence the second video clip content is ignored and replaced by the content of the still image for the full length of the video clip.
    I've deleted these three elements and started again, even reimporting video from the camera, but no change. If I delete just the still image, the problem continues with IMovie playing the next still image instead of the video.
    Anyone seen and fixed this?
    David

    This happened to me a while ago... Going into the precision editor, and adjusting the clip end-points to leave room for the transition fixed this for me.

  • How do I play a video on a still image - for example - a video playing on a TV screen in a still living room image?

    Hi All,
    I am just starting to work with video and image and have a question - probably something quite easy but I can't seem to find any tutorials to show me how.
    Basically I want to have a video playing on a still image - for example a tv screen in a living room.
    I am currently struggling to find out how to resize the video to the exact angle of the screen. I can get it playing but at the dimensions of the original video but can't seem to find out how to adjust the video to be sized at the angle the tv is sat at?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Andy

    An Opacity Mask plus Corner Pin is what I would use.
    I like when an "insert" comes from behind the matte... and also ....this way allows feathering of the edges.

  • Slideshow with video files and still images ?

    Hi everybody,
    As from the title I would like to know if in Captivate 7 (or 8) there is a widget for playing several videos within a sort of slideshow.
    Any advise about to sort the problem will be highly consdired.
    Best regards

    Hi Rick,
    tx a lot for your kind advise.
    Following your advise I have just created a Slideshow project and inserted still images in it. One per slide.
    But I did not get what to do now... Would you please help me  going on trying your solution?
    (I think it is helpful to specify  that I would like to have a slideshow for videos, as an object within one slide, not along several slides)

  • Exporting video results in still image with original sound background

    I've tried several times to export my home movie (MOV) into smaller formats using the export function. It worked fine on QT 6 but now I'm on version 7 and it's not working. The final product is a still image of the first frame and the original recording. I've tried exporting to various formats as well with the same result. Any help out there? Thanks!!!

    Would it matter if the very first file from the camera was an AVI file? I first had QT convert that file to an MOV file which plays just fine.
    As long as the MOV file plays in QT, it shouldn't matter at all. In fact, placing it in a known "space" should indicate it is convertible to other target formats even if only on your system configuration.

  • Problems With Video From a Still Camera

    I am new to Premier Pro CS4, so this may just be a simple newbie thing . . .
    I have a series of videos taken with a Nikon Coolpix series non-video camera.These are all in an AVI format. Premiere recognizes the video, no problem, and the Info tab in Media browser tells me that the file is 30 fps with a frame size of 640 x 480 (1.0). I presume this last number means square pixels.
    When I try to view the video from within Premiere, the audio track is fine, but the video stays static for a while, then jumps a few frames and stays static again.
    I thought this was frame rate problem, so I payed closer attention to settings in creating the project. So far, nothing has made a difference.
    Is there a way to overcome this problem? Since I don't have a video camera (yet) but do have lots of these type of AVI files, I'd like to be able to do something with them in Premiere.

    I admit Hunt, sometimes the CODEC thing bewilders me also, but ultimately finding the right codec is the way to go.
    Mitchell, so as not to confuse, Hunt is emphasizing getting the right codec on your PC so your native video clips will edit smoothly. My approach is the other end of the stick: forget finding a CODEC, instead use a utility to convert your raw footage to an editable AVI that will utilize whatever CODEC governs the AVI world. That has it's drawbacks, because for one, you're converting a file format, so is there any loss of image quality? The other problem is that a typical raw file of 1GB usually turns into a 2.5GB AVI, so you have bigger duplicated files to have to manage. Wouldn't it be nice to just use your raw file out of your camera? Well, with the right CODEC... amazing how that works.
    So, let's just go down the conversion road for a minute. It's some extra work and file management, and that needs to be considered. And, conversion can degrade a file, so that means that you need to use a good converter if you go that route. My 5D Mark II clips are 8-bit 4:2:0... I use NeoScene to upsample them into a 10-bit 4:2:2 AVI file (not purposely, that's just what NeoScene does). I think the added info to interpolate the video up to 10-bit basically just keeps it from degrading. My clips look just grand, no worse than raw. Good enough for me. BUT, it's an extra $99 for NeoScene from VideoGuys.com. Isn't there some way to do this with our current tools? Well, I was blabbing about NeoScene one night on here, and one of the Adobe fellas, Dennis Radeke, piped on and asked me, "why not just use AME to convert your files?". So that tells me it's a possibility, although Dennis hadn;t actually tried it yet. That's up to ME, so I'd better give that a whirl tonight. I'll let y'all know what happens.
    Then there is option #3: Somebody piped on the forums and asked me "Why don't you just use the Canon ZoomBrowser software to convert your files to AVIs?... it comes in the box with your camera". I didn;t even think to see what Canon offered, who uses software that comes with a camera anyway??? But evidently Canon has provided this. SO, I suppose I can check that out also, which means that you may want to rummage around in your camera's box and see what software is bundled in there.
    In the meantime I'll try AME tonight. However, if you can find the right codec and you get it all to edit smoothly, let us know!

  • Can I insert video files among still images within a basic CS6 Slideshow?

    I'm using CS6 13.0.4 x64. I want to create a very basic slideshow that includes both still images and video clips. I have read this is possible but can find no specifics. Thanks!

    Thanks for both of your replies. I'll tackle Premiere Pro in 2013 but for now the limited PSCS6 video capabilities are more than adequate for my current project. Thanks to Adobe for including video editing capability in CS6. The answer to my question seems obvious now that I grasp how simple, intuitive and automatic the video editing features are. I'm used to more complicated workflows! In additon to these forums and your responses I accessed a nice multi-part video tutorial on using the CS6 video editing functions at kelbytraining.com.

  • Making a panorama from a layered image ...

    I think that "auto blend layers>panorama" is assumed to make panoramas from layers ...
    And, there is also "auto align layers" for making panoramas from layers.
    I tried "auto blend layers>panorama" with an image and it can not make a panorama from the two layers trial image ... "auto align layers" can make a panorama easily from the same image.
    So, I can see that there is a clear difference between the "auto align layers" and "auto blend layers>panorama" ...
    But I could not understand the intention of designers of PS about the usage difference between the "auto align layers" and "auto blend layers>panorama"?

    There is one dialog for making a panorama from images ... single dialog for aligning and blending.
    And, two dialogs for making a panorama from layers ... separate dialogs for aligning and blending.
    There is no option for making a stack from images ...
    And, two dialogs for making stack from layers ... separate dialogs for aligning and blending.
    Why don't you make all of those things in a more systematic way?
    One dialog for making panoramas and stacks from images ... single dialog for aligning and blending ... selectable separately
    And, one dialog for making panoramas and stacks from layers ... single dialog for aligning and blending ... selectable separately
    Photomerge is a tool for aligning and blending images ... so please put them under the same menu.
