Stabilize a sequence of images

I know how to stabilize  a video when the reference point remains within the viewer.
But how do you stabilize a sequence of images (not video) or a video where the reference point disappears?
any advice would be appreciated, thank you.

Well 2 solutions for you:
either use the same methode as you do while the tracking points are in the field, and then do another tracking with new points when your first points are out of sight, and then parent the null with tracked data together. Andrew Kramer have a very good tutorial about this on Video Copilot: Set Extentions
Or you can try with Mocha planar tracking, included in CS4 & CS5. It can handle this kind of problem.
Hope that helps

  • Importing a sequence of images in order?

    Forgive my ignorance. I normally just to scripting in Flash,
    not frame-based animation :)
    I've got a sequence of images from a 3-D program that I need
    to turn into an animation in Flash. I thought it was super easy to
    bring them in and Flash would automatically place each one on its
    on frame in order. Am I missing something? Did they drop this
    feature? I'm using CS3.
    Thanks a lot,
    Erik

    it is still super easy and done the same way as all previous
    versions - make sure the image sequence
    is numbered sequentially (img_001.png, img_002.png,
    img_03.png, etc....). In Flash go to File >
    Import, select 1st image and you will be prompted to import
    them all.

  • HELP! flash stops working when I want to import a sequence of images to stage

    Please! I need help asap! I downloaded Flash CS5 and I am using it as a trial and every time I want to import a sequence of images to stage the program stops working and closes without saving. I need to do this projecto for the day after tomorrow and Flash is just not working right. This project is a stop motion animation.
    I will deeply appreciate any help, since I just don't know what else to do!
    Laura.

    I cannot individually cause it's a stop motion animation...like 200 pictures (this part, the whole of it is like 1000), it would take me a lot of time.  I tried doing it in parts, but when  I get to frame number 100 more or less the program just shuts down...I really really don't know what else to try.

  • Slideshow--how to change sequence of images

    How do you change the sequence of images in the slideshow.
    I am trying to highlight in the film strip, and I can drag it.  But, when I try to place it somewhere else, it springs back to the original location.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Yu cannot change the order of images within the Slideshow module.
    To change the order, go back into the Library module (must be Grid view), grab the image part of the thumbnail and drag it to it's new position in the sequence. Switch back to the Slideshow module when all of the images are in the preferred order, then create a Slideshow Collection. The order and setting will be stored in the collection.

  • Osx Lion QTv10.1 How do I open a sequence of images

    I am running XSI lion 10.7.4 and have a default QT installed. I am not able to open a sequence of images and save out to a mov file . There seems to be no menu selection anymore.
    Can anyone advise ?

    For reasons unkown, Apple has decided to limit Quicktime 10, by removing many useful features that were avaliable in previous versions of Quicktime.
    Luckily, there are others ways of achieving what you want to do...
    1)
    You can download Quicktime 7 and Purchase a Quicktime 7 Pro Registration Key. This will enable many extra features that are inactive in the standard Quicktime 7.
    You can download Quicktime 7 at the following link...
         http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923
    You can purchase the Pro Registration Key at the following link..
         http://store.apple.com/us/product/D3380Z/A
    2)
    You can download a FREE software, known as Time Lapse Assembler, that will allow you to import a sequence of images, and export them as a video/movie. If you're on a budget, this is the best way to go.

  • Display a large sequence of images like a video.

    I want to display a large sequence of images (.jpg) like a video, something like a Component that displays an image and a TimerTask that changes that image every 50 milseconds and repaints:
    class SlideShow extends Component
         private Timer timer;
         private TimerTask imageFliper;
         private Image currentImage;
         private Image nextImage;
         private int arraysize;
         private int arrayoffset;
         private int currentposi;
         String fileMask;
         public SlideShow(int offset, int size, String filemask)
              super.setSize(640,480);
              currentposi = arrayoffset = offset;
              arraysize = size;
              fileMask = filemask;
              timer= new Timer();
              nextImage = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(fileMask.replaceFirst("#",leftZero(currentposi,4)));
              imageFliper = new TimerTask()
                   public void run()
                        currentImage = nextImage;
                        repaint();
                        if(++currentposi > arrayoffset + arraysize)
                             currentposi = arrayoffset;
                        nextImage = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(fileMask.replaceFirst("#",leftZero(currentposi,4)));
              timer.schedule(imageFliper, 0, 50);
         public void paint(Graphics g)
              g.drawImage(currentImage,0,0,super.getWidth(),super.getHeight(),this);
         public void update(Graphics g)
              paint(g);
         static public String leftZero(int target,int leftcount)
              StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
              int i = (int)Math.pow(10,leftcount-1);
              while(i!=1)
                   if(target<i)
                        sb.append("0");
                        i=i/10;
                   else
                        break;
              sb.append(Integer.toString(target));
              return sb.toString();
         public static void main(String[] args) 
              Frame f = new Frame("slide show");
              SlideShow s = new SlideShow(1,1000,"intro\\intro#.jpg");
              f.add(s);
              f.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter()
                             public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e){System.exit(0);}
              f.pack();
              f.setSize(640,480);
              f.setVisible(true);
    }but just using the Image class seems to be unefective.
    Does anyone kwon a library that does this fast and efective?
    or should i just convert the images to a media file and use a media library?

    Firstly if you're loading images with Toolkit you'll nbeed to use MediaTracker (see the Javadoc for full and clear instructions).
    Secondly, be aware of how long it takes to load image data, allocate the memory for it, and decode it. This is where you're going to suffer and it's the fundamental flaw in the plan of simulating video by flipping single frames: it's highly unlikely you'll manage it quickly enough. As above, 50ms is quite optimistic.
    You could do your loading up-front and buffer a load of images - there are a few strategies you could use for this. But bear in mind that (a) this is going to be very memory hungry, and (b) if your image load time is greater than your frame display time you're always going to be fighting a losing battle. But it should work for very small animations.
    Run yourself some tests: write yourself a simple test class which just loads an image in its main() method using a MediaTracker. It'll tell you how long loading the image takes. Of course, if you're doing it in an applet then you've got all sorts of other factors to consider and the load times will be high.

  • Saving sequence of image

    Hi
    I'm using a DC210 camera to acquire images.I want to take a sequence of images and save them on to the hardisk and play them as a video.Im not sure how to go about saving it.Could someone give me some pointers on that please?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I would like to acquire image from a CCD camera, sequentially. I would wish to say the image sample rate and the number of images. Next, I would like to save all the images. Anybody could help me? Are there any example?

  • Wrong sort order for rapid sequences of images

    When I have a sequence of shots taken at high speed, i.e. a number of them have the same timestamp, being taken within the same second, I find that LR displays some of them out of order. For instance, I have a sequence of 5 frames all with timestamp 9/4/07 2:17:32pm and the file names show up in this order - 1740, 1742, 1741, 1743, 1744 (these are the file names assigned by the camera)
    The frames show in this order with any of the sort order options selected except, of course, File Name, and in that one instance they display in the correct order.
    Is there a way I can specify in LR that I want to sort in Capture Time order then within that in file name order? This would give me the result I want. The reason I don't want to simply use file name order is that with images from different cameras with differing file naming conventions, or with file names I may have applied, that would not give me correct time sequence as shot. I want to see a whole day's images in correct time sequence regardless of file name.
    If there is not a way to specify this in LR, should I add this to the Feature Request list?

    Capture Time and Import Order do the same thing.
    Additional information - I see the same wrong sequence is presented in the import dialog when I try to import the same photos again (they happen to still be on the card). So, I think it is initially caused by the order that the camera lays down the photos in the file structure on the card, or in the way that Windows reads them off the disk. (I have a Canon EOS 30D, SanDisk CF card, using a card reader rather than plugging the camera to the PC.)
    If I use the import dialog's renaming process (in my test I chose filename - sequence) and apply a sequence number to the images the sequence number ends up wrong. So LR is importing the photos in the wrong order (may not be LR's fault?)
    So, this modifies the definition of the problem and of the feature request. No longer is it simply the sort order displayed in the library; it needs to be addressed at import time as well.
    Here is my attempt to redefine the feature request:
    - when importing images that are taken in rapid sequence (multiple shots within the same second) LR should allow for sorting the images by camera-derived file name to correct out-of-sequence delivery from the card/camera. This sort order, when selected, should re-arrange the preview thumbnails so the photographer can verify the images will be imported in the correct order.

  • Sequence of images, how to speed things up?

    Sorry if this is a simple question, but I have a folder of images that need to be shown show one after another, like a slideshow.
    Towards the end, the images will be shown shorter and shorter, so the sequence goeds fatser and faster.
    Is there a quick and simple way of doing this in AE? Or Premiere for that matter?
    thanks for any tips,
    rob

    Hi Todd,
    Thanks for that.
    I don't use AE that often, so sometimes I'm looking in the wrong places in the manual ;-)
    The assistant looks pretty neat as a feature btw.
    cheers for the quick answer,

  • Importing a Sequence of Images

    Hi ,
    I have get our client 200 tga picture (renders), i want to insert this picture one by one key frame how can i do automatically.
    I am try to select & stage but picture is place one over another, please help me
    Regards
    Manoj

    create a new movieclip and while that movieclip's timeline is open, click file/import/import to stage and select the first image.  if they're named sequentially and you're using a flash pro cs version, flash will offer to import the entire sequence and distribute each on its own frame in the current timeline.

  • Exporting a Sequence of Images

    I have an image sequence of about 250 images and I want to export them as a QT Movie but I am overwhelmed at all of the settings within Quicktime Pro. Is there a tutorial somewhere that explains the settings in Quicktime Pro and explains which settings are best for compressing the images for export as a QT movie.
    If someone could offer any tips, a tutorial or their insights into this I would really appreciate it.
    Thanks in Advance

    The options are so overwhelming to newcomers (I was one ten year ago) that things seem daunting.
    I sat down a few years ago and wrote a "book" to explain things.
    First rule of compression is where your destination will be. Web files are one thing and files sent to other applications are another. Making a DVD or using iMovie? More variations and codec options. Sharing to PC users? Yep. More options to consider.
    Image sequence implies a "slide show" style movie. Using music in it? If yes then you should import your image sequence at one "Frame" per second. 250 images would then be 250 seconds in "time" but we can change the time when you add the new "video" to your audio track.
    Create your video track of images and leave the window open. Open a few audio files (no "purchased" music) and join them together using QuickTime Pro to make an new audio file with the duration needed for your display settings. 8 minutes of audio would allow a 2 second on screen display of your images. 16 minutes would be 4 seconds of display time. I think 250 images is just too much for your viewers and sitting through a 20 minute "video" may bore them.
    With your new audio file assembled Command-A to select all of it. Switch to your "video" movie, select all and "Copy". Switch back to your audio movie and choose "Add to Selection & Scale" (Edit menu). This will scale your one frame per second video to "fit" the duration of your audio file.
    Use Save As to make a new file. It will use the Photo JPEG video codec and the same audio codec used in your music files. If they are MP3 your file will play on any Mac or PC with QuickTime installed and no further editing (or exporting) is required.

  • Placing  a 4x3 QT onto a 16 x 9 sequence without image shift /or RH crop

    Hi, I am building a new 16x9 sequence with fresh background, and when I import a older 4x3 QT to place onto it, the 4x3 image shows up cropped on the right side, cutting off the ends of logos, etc. I am not trying to stretch the older 4x3 to 16x9. Just the actual placement onto the timeline causes the crop to show up. When viewed straight from desktop, the 4x3 QT looks fine, only when placed in the 16x9 sequence does the image shift / crop.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Right click on the clip in the timeline and select 'remove attributes'
    Has FCP added distort or crop? If so remove them and see if that corrects the problem
