Sequential TIFF render in 7.x

A client has asked me to render a title sequence as a sequential TIFF file. I am working in 1920x1080 60i and can't find this among my render options. Wondering if this is because I'm in AE 7.1 or so. Is this added in CS3 or something? Do I have to upgrade or is there a way I can do this in 7?
Thanks,
Loch

Sure thing. I don't remember if v7 had HD presets, or not.
But all you need to make is a new comp with 1920x1080/square pixel at 30 frames per second. When you go to render, you'll field render (which is where the 60i will come from). 1080i is always upper/odd field interlaced.

Import sequential tiffs files

Hi all,
This is my first post on this site, being fairly new to FCP,
Having expanded to FCP after many years as an Avid editor.
Recently I was stumped when presented with a folder containing 24 sequentially names giffs each with an alpha channel.
I assumed it would be no problem importing in to FCP as a 1 second video file with alpha channel, as is easy with an Avid.
However I can find now way of doing this and no mention any were in the FCP help files or manuals,
Any Ideas would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Steve.

Welcome to the Forum, Steve!
If you want your imported images to appear in the timeline in numerical order, be sure to number them in a way that your Mac can put them in the order you want. Start with 001 etc if you have less than a thousand.
In FCP go to:
User Preferences > Editing Tab then change the default Still / Freeze Duration to whatever you want.
Check in your Finder folder that the images are ordered correctly, then import into the FCP Browser. Once in the FCP Browser, you can select all the images and drag them to the Timeline. Alternatively, you can Import the Finder Folder to your FCP Browser, then select it and press Apple+A .
Either way, all the images in will appear in the timeline in the correct order.
Make sure the images are RGB – not CMYK format.

Changing File path for different TIFF files in a For loop

Hi dear users:
I am using "IMAQ write TIFF File.vi" that basically writes a TIFF file to a specified file path. However, I would like to CHANGE the file path for each TIFF file i save in a for loop. The reason for this is that the File path has to include the file name and I do not want to write over the same file name all the time in a for loop. What I would like to have are sequential TIFF images. So if the file name would be "Image", I would like the result to be Image0, Image1, Image2 and so forth when I run my For loop. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks

Use the "Format Into String" and the "Build Path" functions:

Need help with PPro & Speedgrade link - render does not match results

Hello! My problem in a nutshell is that the color correction applied using the speedgrade link once exported does not match the preview montor results in PPro by a fairly large margin.
Process:
Source is AVCHD 60p 28mbps
New sequence to PPRo
Direct link to Speedgrade
Color correct
Send back to PPro
Timeline monitor in PPRo shows correct color correction results from speedgrade
Select and export the timeline (no extra effects added)
Tried MFX 100 Intra, and basic h.264 150mbps MP4
Both rendered out file with incorrect gamma, mushed colors, and missing blacks correction.
Imported both files back into PPro and compared the source montor to the original timeline monitor and they do not match up.
Then I tried exporting directly to a TIFF sequence, and the TIFFs render out with the correct speedgrade look...
So something in the middle of the process in the media encoder is messing up!
Bug probably? Anyone else experiencing this? Are you checking your output results?
-David

Here you go, for the h.264, which is what I normally use.
The visible differences were for example a purple pillow in the shot has its blacks and definition, once exported the purple turns to mush, no blacks and loss of definition, like a bad gain setting.

What is the "best" video format to import into Aftereffects (for keylight plugin)

Hello All,
I
have various choices in Adobe Premiere (CS4) for exporting.
The top choices seem to be
Microsoft AVI
Avi uncompressed (this i assume is much better than just Microsoft AVI -- for greencreen keylight work?)
And Quicktime.
So I assume my best choices would be Quicktime or AVI Uncompressed.
Any reason to choose Quicktime over AVI uncompressed? Or visa versa?
Thanks
Rowby

The best starts with the camera and recording system. Any system that gives you 4:2:2 color at 10 bit as original at a high data rate is best. Well almost best. Best is 4:4:4 color at 32bit, but you must have a pile of cash to capture this way.
The worst modern acquisition formats are the mpeg systems used by phones and some digital still cameras. For cameras that independent film makers can afford, let's say under $10K, I'd say that the best, meaning highest color depth and least compression goes something like this. There may be some room for debate on the order of the Panasonic and Sony P2/XDCAM but the new AVC-Intra format is, for now, at the top:
Panasonic AVC-Intra (the replacement for P2)
Sony XDCAM and HDCAM SR (new generation)
Panasonic P2 DVCPRO
HDV
DVC Pro 100 SD
DVC Pro 50 SD
AVCHD (though this is a HD format I've put it below sd formats because of compression)
DV
I've left off analogue formats because they require specialized capture cards. I also left off the Red and the Canon and Nikon still cameras that capture HD because the Red is too expensive for the list and the still cameras use a compression scheme that I haven't played with yet. I think that the Canon 5D Mark II may produce footage that will key quite well but don't know where to put it in the list.
Once you have the original footage you can either work with the native formats or transcode to your favorite lossless format. I prefer Animation Codec Quicktime because it is universally available to and simple to transfer between platforms. Also good are sequential tiff or even png formats. Many folks use jpg compressed Quicktimes. I don't know many pros that use avi's because uncompressed are so huge and the compressed avi's are pretty messy.
For the production pipeline to keep working you almost always have to stray from the native codecs because they do not support alpha channels. If you choose to work with P2 (MXF) files, which AE CS4 handles just fine, then you will have to render to a codec that supports alpha channels or render separate alpha channels to bring your footage into a NLE or Flash and with transparency preserved.
I hope that answers your question. You can't easily fix a poor quality original by simply transcoding to a lossless format.

Render tiff sequence starting with comp frame# in adobe media encoder?

Hi
Does anybody know how to render out a tiff sequence with AME using an after fx comp where the tiff frame numbering generated by AME reflects the same frame numbering in an After fx comp? so if my work area bar in AE comp starts at frame 73 then the first tiff frame rendered out of AME starts at frame 73. at present it seems to always start at 0 which is no good because i then have to renumber all the frames to ensure they replace the correct frames in the image sequence. i already know how to do this rendering directly out of AE. however its nice using AME because you can continue to work in AE while AME runs in the background.
cheers!
angus

Unfortunately you cannot specify a start file number.
That would make a good feature request.
Cheers

How to Render a Tiff Sequence with original EXIF Data?

Hi,
I´m importing a DNG Image Sequence via Camera Raw to AE.
After some color corrections and alignment I would like to Render the images as TIFF sequence including their original Exif Information, e.G. Exposure time, ISO, Aperture.
in the render dialog under "output module settings" there is an option called "include Source XMP Metadata, which is not available when I export to TFFF Format.
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks in advance...

It means what it says: XMP. Unless these infos exist as sidecar XMP files, AE has no way of retaining that info.

After Effects repeated render fails, even rendering to Tiffs

Hi I'm trying to render this out: http://videohive.net/item/website-promotional-video-and-commercial-version-2/3229923
with obvious cam and image changes.
There are no plugins used, just some 3D layer 1440 x 911 pngs, cropped using masks, a few lights with shadows on.
My PC has 12gb ram.
The errors are: Crash occurred while evoking render plug-in "Classic 3D"
and <BEEp_InitSoundPB><0>Vid rate ratio min, max 1,1.
I have no audio in the comp and I'm rendering in parts now between fails, to 1920 x 1080 tiffs as a last resort.
Any ideas apart from "Get a Mac" would be most welcome

Force finder to render thumbnails for layered tiff files

Since updating to to Mavericks I've noticed that the Finder no longer renders thumbnails for large layered TIFF files(1 to 2 Gb). This was never the case with prevoius versions of OS X. Is there some way to force Finder to render them again?

exactly the same problem here, solutions?

How to Render a TIFF image sequence with After Effects or Premiere

So I shot a timelapse in RAW using my D5200. Developed the images, imported into after effects to make a composition at 1080p 24fps, the clip is 15 seconds long. Then I rendered the clips a few ways and none of them are what I want:
I used the H.264 first, its just pixelated and blocky, doesn't retain a smooth resolution. H.264 output an MP4 that was 6.5 MB.
Then I tried lossless and it output an AVI which is awesome resolution but the file is 2 gigs! Not even VLC media player will play it smoothly without buffering.
Last I tried H.264 BluRay which output an M4V file which is 45 MB and I can't get it to play.
So now I'm here asking you all what the way to go is. When I download films, I will aim for a 1-2 gig 720p or 1080p file on roughly 2hr films. The resolution is great, the audio is great and the file like I said is only 1.5gigs average. So what are the rendering settings I should be using to get a file like this? Should I be importing it into Premiere Pro first or what?
-Thanks
Bruno
For Reference, here was my workflow:
I generally followed an Adorama Rich Harrington Time-Lapse youtube video on workflow which was:
Developed the Raw files in Camera Raw
Used the Image Processor to create the Tif files
Imported into After Effects as a TIF sequence
Interpreted the sequence as 24fps
Changed the Composition settings to 1080p 24fps
Then did the rendering as detailed above

1. You don't need to export your TIFF sequence so as to import it into After Effects, you can import RAW image sequence into After Effects directly. Camera RAW will start automatically on importing. What is more, you will be able to change your Camera RAW settings at any time you want inside your AE project: in Project panel select your RAW image sequence, right-click, choose Interpret Footage -> Main... In the dialog box click More Options... button (at bottom left), and Camera RAW opens.
2. Do NOT export to H.264 out of After Effects directly. If you need to export your composition to H.264, export it out of Adobe Media Encoder. Start from HDTV preset. If your goal is to upload your media file on e.g. YouTube, done. If you want to play it back on your computer, but your mediaplayer can't playback it in real time, start to decrease bitrate settings. Keep in mind that modern AVCHD cameras shoot with 28 Mbps, first AVCHD camcorders were shooting with 17 Mbps, YouTube preset in Adobe Media Encoder sets bitrate to 10 Mbps, Vimeo preset - to 8 Mbps.
Choose VBR, 2 Pass so as to benefit from better quality out of smaller file size.
See this The Video Road blogpost on Understanding Colour Processing and benefits of Render at Maximum Depth option.
3. If you're planning to use your After Effects composition in Premiere Pro project, you can use Adobe Dynamic Link. If your After Effects composition is quite complex, render a Digital Intermediate out of After Effects and import it into Premiere Pro. See this discissuon in AE Forum on some production codecs comparison.
P.S. See also this FAQ: What are the best export settings? entry.

Tiff causes re-render

I've got a small watermark .tif and everytime I click out of FCP 6 I have to re-render the sequence. This has never happened until recently. Old projects or new projects doesn't matter and only if the watermark is in the sequence. This is not a major problem, just an inconvience that slows things up if click out of FCP to find a file or photo.
Cheers,
D

Jim,
That worked.
It had many months and many, many projects since I trashed preferences and using digitalrebellion.com worked quickly, seemlessly and beautifully and the price was right.
Thanks!
Is this something that needs to be done periodically or something to first try when things start acting screwy in FCP?
Thanks again,

Scripting to replace a layer in a psd file and save as a tiff for multiple images in a sequence

I have over a hundred images, all the same size, that I need bring into photoshop as a designated layer, one at a time, flatten the image and save as a tiff file with a sequential number, then repeating the process. I have not used javascript before but it seems like it should work. I'm using CS5. Thanks

It is possible to do that via Scripting.
If you are unable to create such a Script maybe you should look up the chapter »Creating data-driven graphics« in the documentation.

My exported edited image in TIFF-16bit is not the same as my edited RAWfile

Hi! First and foremost my problem is not speed. I have learn to deal with Aperture's slowness while editing or exporting images and not real time brush strokes and occassional crashes. It thought me PATIENCE!
My problem are my exported image from Aperture, The images are not rendered the same exact way as the RAW image I edited (quality-sharpness-saturation-definition-etc.) in Aperture. The rendering is WAY OFF. I even exaggerate in Sharpness and contrast in rendering my RAW images yet my exported (both TIFF -16 bit or JPEG orig. size) are way softer than the one I originally rendered in RAW at Aperture 3.0.2. Even the COLORS are OFF-saturation, luminance, etc. It's not my Monitor or my Eyes, I asked 3 friends to help me validate my concern. After viewing my exported (TIFF or Jpeg) images on an external preview browser, I re-import them to Aperture and put them- (the exported images) in the same Projects where the Original RAW file is located, then I carefully compare them in Full Screen view, I can totally say that they're not the same quality, sharpness, saturation, tonal value!
It's very frustrating to experience this. I work really hard on every single image, I tolerate the sluggishness, the crashes, All I want are my image output render the way I rendered them in RAW file in regards to sharpness, color value and just the overall look that I wanted in my images. BTW I just downloaded the recent March 22, 2011 update. But still it's still having this problem.
Please help me all you good knowledgable, compassionate Aperture experts help an Aperture user in distress.
Thanks for your time. I appreciate any positive feedback and help.
JC

Richard,
You are not going crazy, this is a well documented throughout the web
Sorry, but the web is not documentation for Aperture.
I cannot understand why Apple have not resolved this
For one, it takes time to fix a bug, and the have to know about it. Have you told Apple that this is a problem through Aperture feedback? Second, someone at Aperture has to prioritize what their engineers work on. Since this does not seem to be a problem for very many people (including the well-regarded contributors whom you were trying to offend in your other post on this topic), it may turn out that it has a low priority for Apple.
Please Apple sort this out!
Apple does not contribute to this forum and there's no reason to believe they will read this particular message and make a bug report.

Why is Lightroom oversaturating blues in TIFFs

Recently I have had a problem with Lightroom over saturating the blues in the skys of my photos. I start with a RAW file from my Canon 1Ds Mark 3. I start processing it in Lightroom and then send it to Photoshop CS5 as a TIFF to do more editing. The file is saved as a TIFF and appears in the lightroom catalog. In lightroom the skys are now highly saturated, much more than in CS5. I can view the Tiff file in the Windows Preview window and it looks the same as in CS5. If I use lightroom to export to a JPG, the JPG is saturated just like the TIFF appears in Lightroom. Windows Preview shows the JPG highly saturated just like it looks in Lightroom. This problem started in Lightroom 3.6 and has continuted in Lightroom 4. I first noticed it in February 2012. I am using the ProRGB color space when opening it if CS5 and as the workspace in Photoshop CS5. It makes no difference if I save the files in 16 bit color or 8 bit color. Color Management Policies in CS5 are set to Preserve Embeded Profiles. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both LR4 and CS5, but that had no effect.
These 2 screen captures show how the blues became more saturated in Lightroom after being edited in Photoshop. Since I do not have Camera RAW 7, I tell Lightroom 4 to render in Lightroom and send a TIFF to CS5. Can anyone tell me what is causing the shiff in the blues?

I checked the HSL sliders in LR and you are right they were off. But, why are the sliders changing like that? I have discovered that it has nothing to do with CS5 at all. I exported a RAW file from LR4 that I had done no editing at all to, to a TIFF file and got the same problem. The HSL sliders are off and blues are over saturated. This does not happen when I export the RAW file to PSD or JPG, so far only to TIFF. Am I missing something. Why is this happening? I have been using Lightroom since version 1 and have use versions 2 and 3 as they came out, but I never had this problem until this year. Is this a bug? If so, it began in version 3.6. I bought version 4 hoping it would fix it, but it didn't.
