.mov to jpeg conversion
I want to convert an hour and a half of .mov footage to JPEGs, but QT will only allow me to convert 65554 frames and then it starts from 1 again. I don't know why it will not let me convert as many frames as I want I have QT Pro so I am not sure how to make it do what I want?

If in the best case your video is in PAL format then 25fps for an hour-and-a-half movie would result in 135,000 frames or JPEG images. For NTSC at 30fps it would be even worse resulting in 162,000 frames/JPEGs.
What on earth do you want/need with so many JPEGs? Even if it could be done the Finder on your Mac would probably die trying to open or manipulate a folder with so many files in it.
If as you indicate QuickTime has a limit it is imposing of 65554 frames, then a workaround would be to split the movie in to three parts, and do each third separately.

Hi All
I teach a photography class at a local college where the students have to submit assignments regularly. Our requirements are that they hand in a print and an unedited RAW file. Because we are focusing on their photographic technique, they aren't allowed to edit the photos at all.
They then print the photos at local photo labs (fuji fronteir machines) but the printing results are inconsistent and sometimes shocking.
to cust down on possible workflow problems, I have advised them to build a relationship with their printer, use calibrated monitors (which we have at the college), etc. etc. However, I am starting to suspect that the problem lies with the RAW to JPEG conversion and possible the color spaces they are using. Most of them shoot in Adobe RGB and use that in their computer workspace.
So far I have told them to make sure that they convert the files to sRGB before printing - to save the RAW as a PSD file and convert it to a JPEG using image processor with the "convert to sRGB" option turned on.
I am now at a point when I am going to arrange a workshop so I would love any help or advice that you may have.
I look forward to all the great suggestions I know I am going to get.
Regards

Correct.
The Fuji Frontier printer won’t do any gamut conversion.
It just prints "by the numbers", expecting sRGB.
To put it simple.

It is fairly impossible to print from an un-interpreted / unedited Raw file. Editing is the name of the game. Sounds as if the students were shooting Raw + JPG (nothing wrong with this). Only the JPG will be subject to the in-camera setting to Abobe RGB. Should be converted to sRGB before giving it to the Fuji Frontier. If it is really Raw + JPG shooting, it may be easier to set the camera to sRGB. Nothing lost here, because you always have the Raw file to resort to in ACR.

Seeking solution for RAW to jpeg conversion on 1TB disk[s] of images
Please read fully
Greetings,
I have a bit of a dilemma as most might have as well. I have about
3.5TB of RAW images in various directories and seeking an automated
way to convert RAW to jpeg on numerous directories...and go get a
coffee while the process is working (maybe have a nap or two lol)
For many months I have searched for a solution that takes the source
disk (yes disk and not directory by directory) and implements a NEF to
jpeg conversion placing the destination directory on another hard
drive or a separate directory keeping the same source directory
structure. So at the end of the day I would have full sized jpegs and
PSD's in the same directory structure as the source. That make sense?
I have been in other forums and asked but the solutions were using the
typical Photoshop solutions and it does not make a dupe directory
structure as the source.
Any solutions? Ideas?
Thanks,
D.S. HathawayThis is what I'm trying to do. It seems the Image Processor does not handle multiple directories at once.
MainDrive (source)

1234_flag_images
2345_ball_images
3456_table_images
etc
In the directory 1234_flag_images contains

1234_flag2.nef
1234_flag3.nef
WIP <---directory Work in Progress contains
1234_flag1.psd
1234_flag1.jpg
What I am seeking is the above source to be converted to jpeg and
placed onto another dirve/folder/directory with the SAME directory
tree. It should look like:
Another Drive/folder/directory etc (destination)

1234_flag_images

1234_flag3.jpg
WIP <---directory Work in Progress contains

1234_flag1.jpg
Make sense?
Isn't there anything out there to handle multiple
(read 100s) of folders/directories and make a conversion as stated
above?
Thanks again,

Trouble Exporting to 16:9 with Quicktime Movie or Quicktime Conversion
I have created a 5 minute movie using shots taken from my Sony HDR-FX1. The shots were native 16:9. They imported fine into FCEHD. While editing in FCEHD, the clips all displayed in the viewer as 16:9. When I exported to Quicktime Movie, the resulting product was 16:9. When I exported using Quicktime Conversion, my product became 4:3.
Having read other posts here, I looked closely at all clips (which were all checked as Anamorphic), and my Sequence (which was not checked Anamorphic -- but was instead HD1440x1080). I then created a new sequence, which was checked as Anamorphic, copied my clips to it, then exported it. It got worse. Now, it exports 4:3 using both Quicktime Movie and Quicktime Conversion.
I then created a new project, created a new sequence set to Anamorphic, then copied one clip into it from my earlier project and exported it -- same result. I then imported a clip into this new project from the original files from my camera and exported -- same result.
One final note, when looking at the Frame Size in the properties of my sequence and clips, it is set to 720x480. And, when I look at the Get Info on the exported files of the original, I see 1920x1080 (Quicktime Movie export) and 1440x1080 (Quicktime Conversion export) before I created the new sequence; then 720x480 in both after I created the new sequence.
Any help you can provide would be incredibly appreciated!
DanYou are right. My original sequence was marked as HD. When I exported that one to Quicktime Movie, it displayed 16:9.
Then, I created a new sequence that was 720x480 and checked as anamorphic. That one, exported with Quicktime Movie and/or Quicktime Conversion was 720x480 and was squeezed into 4:3 rather than displaying in Quicktime as 16:9.
Last night, I burned this to DVD using iMovie and it displayed properly on my 16:9 television. But, alas, it is squeezed on my 4:3 television (rather than letterboxed).
Also, I exported to Quicktime Conversion and used "custom size" of 720x405 and achieved a movie that will play in Quicktime as near 16:9 so I can put it up on the web in the right dimensions.
Is there a better/easier way to export footage shot 16:9, edited 16:9 so that it automatically exports 16:9 for use in Quicktime and/or on a DVD? -
Is there anyway of using the jmf api to extract all frames of an input movie to jpeg images (i.e. without using the robot class)?

QT won't save movies, exported jpegs won't open.
I am running the latest version of QT pro on my PC, windows XP. When editing a movie clip, I can edit to my heart's content, but when I go to save it, QT won't save it. It acts like it saves, but it doesn't.
Also, when I export a movie to picture, the resulting image is useless. Photohop can't open it. Windows Picture and Fax Viewer can't open it...nothing works. In Windows Picure and Fax viewer (for the jpeg), I get the error message, "No review available." In photoshop (for the jpeg), the error message is: "Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid jpeg marker is found." When I try to open the pct file in Photoshop, it says," Could not complete your request beause the PICT file is too complex to open on this computer. Photoahop Windows supports raster PICT files only." I have a GIG of ram and the PICT file is only 65 KB. I have tried using various joeg settings, exporting as a PNG file... nothing works. What's up?
I bought Quicktime speciically for these two functions, and neither one of them works. I have Quicktime on a mac at home and it works fine.
Any help would be hugely appreciated!Looks like the update has wreaked havoc (who uses that expression nowadays, anyway?) on your PRAM settings. You can try and reset them: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379

Quicktime movie or Quicktime conversion?
I shoot a wedding, everything is edited using final cut pro 7, I want avoid using compressor, Should I use Qucik time movie or should I use Quicktime conversion,,, I want to burn on a DVD, video was shoot at 1080p 3ofps... Please help
Sorry, if you want to make a DVD, Compressor is your best bet. I mean, you CAN skip it, and take the export directly into DVD Studio Pro to author the DVD...but Compressor will do a much better job.
Anyway...here's a down and dirty way to author a DVD:
#42 - Quick and dirty way to author a DVD
Shane's Stock Answer #42 - David Roth Weiss' Secret Quick and Dirty Way to Author a DVD:
The absolute simplest way to make a DVD using FCP and DVDSP is as follows:
1. Export a QT movie, either a reference file or self contained using current settings.
2. Open DVDSP, select the "graphical" tab and you will see two little monitors, one blue, one green.
3. Select the left blue one and hit delete.
4. Now, select the green one, right click on it amd select the top option "first play".
5. Now drag your QT from the broswer and drop it on top of the green monitor.
6. Now, for a DVD from an HD source, look to the right side and select the "general tab" in the track editor, and see the Display Mode, and select "16:9 pan-scan."
7. Hit the little black and yellow burn icon at the top of the page and put a a DVD in when prompted. DVDSP will encode and burn your new DVD.
THATS ALL!!!
NOW...if you want a GOOD LOOKING DVD, instead of taking your REF movie into DVD SP, instead take it into Compressor and choose the BEST QUALITY ENCODE (2 pass VBR) that matches your show timing. Then take THAT result into DVD SP and follow the rest of the steps. Except you can choose "16:9 LETTERBOX" instead of PAN & SCAN if you want to see the entire image. -
I have quicktime pro and am trying to covert quicktime mov files to wmv files. The conversion happens, but when I play the wmv file I find that only part of the mov file was converted. Any ideas on how I can fix this?
when I play the wmv file I find that only part of the mov file was converted. Any ideas on how I can fix this?
QT Pro is using the free demo codec (I assume you have the free Flip4Mac player component installed). To export full conversions you must purchase the QT to WMV export codec that comes in the $49 package. (The $29 codec only converts from WMV to QT.) -
On the Canon SD 600, the slide bar position for movie is between photo and playback. As a result of not paying attention, I have taken several short movies where I wanted photos. Any way I can convert them the movies to a JPEG photo?
IMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)raytier:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can get a jpg copy of a frame with iMovie but it will not be suitable for printing. It's resolution will be about 720 x 528 x 72 dpi, suitable for viewing on the computer and use if a slideshow in iDVD. -
To export as Quicktime movie or QT conversion??
OK As I read through the search results I am seeing advice to use one or the other. When should you use which? Sara
QT movie is quick and an exact copy of your timeline. This is handy for going to compressor or DVDsp.
Conversion is if you need to deliver a specific file type or more generally viewable and usually smaller format. This usually compresses the file causing resolution loss and can take a long time.
This is a very quick overview of export options. Please do more research as every one has an opinion on this topic and file compression is part science and part alchemy.

Automate RAW to JPEG conversions
Does anyone know of an easy/simple way to automate RAW conversions to jpeg?
When I setup an action, it stalls on the RAW file open command and I cannot seem to automate this step.
I have looked at 3rd party s/w like Irfanview but the output quality seems poor.
Any tips from anyone gladly received.
Thanks.grwiffen4760 wrote:
When converting from RAW, can you setup a set of default RAW editor settings that will be applied to each file conversion?
You can address RAW settings two way. You can set default ACR settings for each of your cameras. Open a RAW file from one of your Cameras. Use the Camera profile tab in the ACR Dialog and try out the profiles Adobe supplied for your camera. When you find the one you like best set that one in the profile tab. Then use the other tabs and make the adjustments you would like to see as your defaults. When you like what you have set. Set this setup as your cameras default. Repeat this process using Raw files from you other cameras.
Now you cam also set RAW settings for you RAW files without creatine any image files for groups of raw files. IMO the best way to do this is from the Bridge. The bridge shows you thumbnails of your RAW files and I beleive adjust them under its covers by using ACR and you default settings for RAW files without saved ACR settings. What I do in the Bridge is select thumbnails without saved settings in groups that seeem to have simular exposures and open this group in ACR. One I have all the image in ACR I'll adjust one of them and then sync the rest setting to the setting I just made to the one. Then if some of the thumbnails look like the need a crop I set crop for those one at a time. Finially I'll click on ACR done button. ACR will then record setting for each RAW file either in Sidecar files or in the ACR database.
When you use an Image Processor Photoshop script to process your RAW files into RGB Image files the saved ACR settings will be used for those files that have settings and your default settings settings for files that don't have saved settings. -
Hi folks,
I need to edit Photo JPEG and MJPEG files in Quicktime (mov) format on Windows 7 in Premiere Pro CS5. When I play the files from Quicktime player, they play fine, in 1280x720. But when I import them into Premiere or Adobe Media Encoder, it tells me they are 160x120. If I scale them up I just get jaggy blurry artifacts. Actually I've noticed in Quicktime that they'll open by default as 160x120, and only when I select "Normal Size" do they play at 1280x720. These files also played just fine in VLC even before I installed Quicktime.
Any idea why Premiere thinks they are 160x120? How can I get it to recognize these files at the correct size of 1280x720?
Thanks,
