QT Pro batch import of image sequences aand export of MOVs

I have multiple folders with sequentially numbered jpegs and I am trying to find some way to batch process (with QT Pro or Automator or some combination of any program, without paying a fortune) each folder to a MOV. For example, parent folder with 3 subfolders - is there a way to point QT Pro at the parent folder and have it create MOVs with specific export settings for each respective folder? I do know how to Open Image Sequence, choose frame rate, choose settings, export to MOV but I'd like to find a way to do it without having to choose the first image of each folder. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Check the frame rate in the Interpret Footage dialog box.

How to import an image sequence in CS4

Hello! I am working on a big project today and I'm importing images in by the hundreds. Is there an easy way to import an image sequence into the timeline? I remember there use to be with earlier versions of flash but I can't figure it out for CS4 - Luckily these images are named sequentially. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

Ah that was the problem! i needed to import to stage instead of library -facepalm- thank you so much! you've just saved me hours and hours of work! now if i can just get it to import to stage without flash crashing

Import of "image sequence" grays out when you select multiple jpg in Premier CC

It worked jus fine untill a few days ago after the CC update. I even reset the number sequencing on my camera to try a test set of picture. no matter what I do the "image sequence" check box grays out as soon as i click on multiple jpgs.
any one ever have this occur?

As joe bloe says, select only a single image file to enable the Image Sequence checkbox. Once you select multiple files, then the importer is set to import as multiple single still images. FYI, you can also select any file (other than the frst), if you wish to import a shorter range of files (eg: select 0040 to import an image sequence of frame 40 and on)

Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Importing still images

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/importing-still-images.html

I might be incorrect in this, but think that there is a Ps Script, that will do what you want.
I would ask in the Photoshop Forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop
and also in the Photoshop Scripting Forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop/photoshop_scripting?view=discussions
If my memory is not totally hosed, one of those should yield the Script (if it exists, as I claim to remember) for that task.
Good luck,

Importing several image sequences at once?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there's no way to import several image sequences at once is there?
I have many folders of image sequences, but there's no way to drag 'n drop or import more than one at a time. Or if there is, the method is escaping me at the moment.

For that, you can use Lloyd's brilliant script called Immigration: http://aescripts.com/immigration/

Batch import of images

Hi,
Is it possible to batch import images into iBA?
I would like to have 1 image per page (different images) and do this for, say, 200 pages.
Is this possible?
Placing an image on the template page and placeholder and generating many pages, then manually drag each image to each page works, but an automated sequence would be nice. Anyone knows if it can be done?

Check this thread, it may be able to help you....note the link given by the original op.

CS4; detecting correct FPS when importing an image sequence

Here's the problem: I'm rendering a sequence in a serie of targa images at 24 fps in 3dsmax. When importing into premiere pro it always sets it to 29.97 fps. I can use the interpret footage to change it back to 24 fps, but when you have multiple videos everyday it quickly becomes a time waster.
Is there a way to do it automatically?
Thanks,

Because Premiere changed from having Project Settings in CS3 to Sequence Settings in CS4 and because there is no setting to set the default frame rate for image sequences, there is simply no way to do what you want.
Project Settings used to govern the default frame rate for Sequences and for image sequences. In CS4, that's not the case.
It seems Adobe forgot about users who use image sequences on a regular basis.

Flash CS5 crashes when importing an image sequence

I am trying to compile an image sequence rendered from modeling software (550 frames). The images are approx. 120kb in size. So far I have only been able to import about 100 images at a time, but when I get to the third import flash crashes. I have adjusted clipboard size to 5000kb max and reduced undo's to 2.
This can't be a hardware problem because I'm running win 7 on a i7 machine with 6gb of ram. Any ideas?

This has always been an issue in Flash for a long time. Search the forum and you'll see. The best you can do is import in smaller batches (I'd recommend no more than 50 at a time).
Do you actually NEED to import a sequence of images? Any reason you're not using video?
FYI on a rig with 32GB RAM I can barely import 50 without needing to save to a new file, then import another 50. Also realize compressed size and actual size are different. If you want to see the actual memory footprint, open Photoshop, open an image and look at the bottom left where it tells you the actual memory required to display that image. For example a 39K JPG takes 225.0KB memory. A 360KB image takes 3.71MB RAM.

Batch combine multiple image sequences

My problem in a way is pretty simple.
After assembling the render output of my 3d app in photoshop (32bit) and changing the appearance via several CC layers in different layer modes (e.g. Hue/saturation in Overlay mode) I ended up with my composing for print purposes. The comp is complex, with several masked folders, single masked CC layers and many image layers (some with masks).
Now the client wanted me to animate part of the image. No problem I thought. But the trap is of how to assemble the different image sequences (diffuse, specular, reflection, masks, etc, etc). I came up with a PS action which loaded the single images and arranged them in the same fashion as the master file.
But now PS doesn't load the incremental images for the batch processing.
Images are named in a Diffuse_00001, Specular_00001, ... fashion. Loading the first set works, but from Diffuse_00002 everything goes wrong and PS load the 00001 files (except from one file which loads in the proper incremental way).
I can't transfer this stuff to AE as it is much too complex and I do no AE only very little.
I guess PS should be capable to solve this batch task, but a simple action via batch seems to fail.
Anybody who knows a solution?
Cheers
Thomas

I forgot to mention that after applying the action the comp is reduced to the background layer and needs to be saved as Flattened_00000, Flattened_00001, etc.

QT Pro 7.6 image sequencing aperture exports - only reads first file

I'm exporting versions (jpg) of files that are originally Nikon raw (NEF) format.
I'm testing with a bunch of images that were grabbed using the camera's continuous mode - want to make sure the system works before doing any real playing with time lapse.
I have a folder with the images - all named image01.jpg, image02.jpg etc etc. No other files in the folder.
Open QT Pro 7.6 - choose Open Image Sequence and select the first image.
It asks for the frames per second.
Whatever i pick - it creates a single frame movie with the first image in the set.
I've tested with two different exports - same issue.
Any hints?

OK - tried this.
For a short test - I have 22 files.

Now - when they were called image01, image02 etc I got a 1sec movie with only the first image.
Now - with these names - I get a movie of the correct duration (so - for example - 2 frames a sec yields an 11 sec movie) but with only the first shot shown (in other words I get to see the first jpg for 11 secs in the 2/s example.
The file command tells me that they are "JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01"

Importing multiple image sequences simultaneously

Quick but pesky workflow question.
I'm often given a number of folders, each of which contains an image sequence (usually TIFF or DPX) representing a single clip. Usually the project starts by painstakingly importing the several dozen sequences by hand.
Is there any way to import all the sequences at once?

You could also try this...
Put all of the sequences in one folder.
Then import the sequences into AE.
When you go to import, open the folder containing the sequences and select all the files, or at least one file from each sequence. (for me its easier to just hit "Ctrl + a" to select all of them)
Make sure to put a check next to the "Multiple Sequences" option and you're done!
After Effects will sort them all out for you(assuming each sequence has a unique base name)

Batch transcode of image sequences? Watch Folder?

I didn't see mention of this in the "what's new" information for Compressor 4, but 2 features I was really hoping for were the ability to batch transcode image sequences (e.g. DPX seqs to proRes QTs for VFX dailies) and some kind of non-kludgy watch folder setup. Either of these make it into Compressor 4?

I forgot to mention that after applying the action the comp is reduced to the background layer and needs to be saved as Flattened_00000, Flattened_00001, etc.

AE CS5.5 can't import RAW image sequence

Hi all,
I'm running a late 2011 imac full spec, with a CS5.5 retail version.
If I try to import a RAW (CR2) image sequence I get the following error: After Effects error: Photoshop file format error (-30504)
I updated AE and all other relevant software. It works when I tried it in AE CS6 (trial), it works when I convert the CR2 files to DNG files but I just want to be able to import a CR2 RAW image sequence.
Googling and searching the forums didn't help one bit.
If anyone has any advice that'd be much appreciated!
Regards,
Matthew

QuickTime Pro 7.1 hangs when trying to export a movie.

Hi There,
I just installed the Key for QuickTime Pro on my Win XP laptop. Now, whenever I try to export a movie, QT just hangs there, using 99% of the CPU. The buttons in the dialog box seems to be active (change appearance when I hover them) but clicling any of them (including OK or Cancel) does nothing. The only way out is to kill the QT task.
If I just click OK in the first export dialog, CPU usage jumps to 99% and hangs. If I select "Options" in the export dialog, the "options" dialog itself hangs and the CPU usage jumps to 99%.
I did not try all menu options but it looks like the hang and use 99% CPU is pretty general since I was attempting to do an "Update Existing Software..." From the help menu and QT hang there too. But I can open de preferences, set them and close them without problems though.
Looking in the Application even manager, this is the error reported:
"Hanging application QuickTimePlayer.exe, version 7.1.0.210, hang module hungapp, version 0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000."
Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?
I purchased QT Pro today because I need to convert a sequence of files into a movie. Right now I cannot do that.

Why not try updating your QuickTime software?
Most current version is 7.4.1

QT Pro Crashes When I Ask It To Export a MOV to an AVI

I'm trying to use my newly-purchased QT Pro to export from MOV (captured with Casio digital camera) to uncompressed AVI so that I can edit my movie in Pinnacle. When I click the options > video settings so that I can specify the codec etc, QT disappears and windows makes an error beep (the 'thrum' chord sound). Any ideas ?

Try turning off video Hardware Acceleration in Windows.
Go to CONTROL PANEL--DISPLAY--click the SETTINGS tab--click the ADVANCED button (you may get a warning message here; just click OK)--click the TROUBLESHOOT tab and finally move the Hardware Acceleration slider all the way to NONE. Click OK
I had the same issue that you describe and this fixed it for me. However, if you are using your PC for games and other video-intensive applications, you'll want to move the Hardware Acceleration back to Maximum after you're done with Quicktime.
