Why is my QuickTime Pro exporting image sequences in the wrong order?

I am making timelapse films and using QuickTime Pro to export the images as a movie file. I have all the images in a folder named numericaly. I go file>import image sequence click on the first image and import. The images are in the correct order in the source folder I have also checked the resource files under show movie properties and they are in the correct order there. I then export as a QuickTime movie file at 1080p H.264 the film is stepping and the frames are out of sequence in the eported movie file. Why is this? Has anyone come across this before?

Is there anything else I could try.
Not sure. I would likely test an x264 export of the image sequence from QT 7 Pro or MPEG Streamclip (or from HandBrake if your system is not configured with the x264 codec) and see if the result was any better. This is not a problem I run into very often and, even then, the files were sent to me with no real indication of how they were originally encoded.
Or do you know how I can analise the exported file?
Not really... but it would be nice to have a tool which indicated the current frame type and listed pointers to frames/stacks of frames used for rendering reference.

  • Quicktime Pro 7 Image Sequence Fail with Leopard

    This was a previous topic which has been archived. I want to reopen it.
    I recently upgraded from OS 10.5 to Leopard 10.6.6. I installed Quicktime Pro 7, which worked without issue before in 10.5.
    Now, I can no longer import an image sequence to create time-lapse. It just has a black screen.
    This is a known issue....is there a fix?

    Im stuck with the same issue, maybe my sizing isn't right?
    I can only highlight 1 image at a time.. and sometimes it 'kind of' works if i scrub through, but when i save or export its just black..
    Plz help! I have a huge project this week and i really need this!

  • Final Cut Pro X Image Sequence Export missing frames per second option?

    I am using the trial version of Final Cut Pro X.  I can export an image sequence but it will only allow me to do so at 30 frames per second -every single frame! 
    So a 10 min movie takes half an hour to export 20,000+ frames that no one on earth has time to look thru.
    In my old Final Cut Express I was able to choose 1 or 2 frames per second, which was just right.
    What am I missing?
    Do I need to buy Quicktime Pro or Compressor to allow me to export image sequences without exporting every frame?
    Why would Apple even have an image sequence export if it only allows you to export every frame, or it that only in the trial version?
    Thank you

    I found a free option for you, if you don't already have Compressor 4.
    In FCPX create your movie. Then SHARE as a Master File.
    Get MPEG Streamclip, which is a free app available here.
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    Drag your Master File into MPEG Streamclip.
    In MPEG Streamclip, select FILE/EXPORT TO OTHER FORMATS.
    In FORMAT: choose IMAGE SEQUENCE
    In OPTIONS, choose your frame rate.

  • Why have my Quicktime Pro funcitions been disabled?

    Why have my Quicktime Pro funcitions been disabled? I bought the software a few years ago and use it periodically to assemble image sequences.
    Now it opens and only has basic funtions and prompts me to buy the software again...
    Not sure what has happend here...

    Snow Leopard introduced QuickTime X and it doesn't include any Pro features.
    QuickTime Player 7.6.6 installs in the Utilities folder. You enter your registation info under its menu.

  • QT 7 Pro - Open Image Sequence

    Seems like this has been asked many times before but I have not found any answeres or resolution to this. Here is my version of the problem:
    Quicktime 7.6.6 Pro
    MacBook Pro OSX 10.6.8
    I have about 8400 images that are named like Nnnnnnn-2011-08-08-1400-PDT.jpg, where the date and time increments by two hours.
    Quicktime will create an image sequence with the first 6 images following the one I selected. In some cases I can get it to do more frames, but it skips along the image sequence. It seems as though it is having trouble with the image names, and not understanding the order. Finder has no issues sorting the files correctly.
    So my questions are:
    Any workarounds?
    Any newer version I can use?
    Is this recognised as an actual bug by Apple?

    Sorry I had to change the file names a bit for some security reasons. The N's represent alpha characters only.
    If I select the first one, it uses the next 6 sequential frames and stops.
    If I select NN-Nnnnnnn-2011-08-10-0000-PDT.jpg, one time it loaded every 12th frame for a total of 24 frames, where only the date changed but the time remained the same. Another time it loads 12 frames sequentially, and duplcated the 12th frame as the 13th frame.

  • Exporting image sequence (tga filetype)

    Hello,
    I'm using Apple® Motion 5.1 on Apple® OS X 10.9.1 Mavericks.
    I can only export a project as image sequence with the following filetypes:
    DPX Image
    JPG Image
    OpenEXR
    Photoshop® File
    PNG Image
    TIFF File
    How I can export the project as TGA filetype image sequence?
    Thanks.

    This is correct, Targa is not an option for export from share in Motion.  My first question would be, is TGA an absolute requirment or preference?  PSD,TIFF or EXR should pretty much be equivelent and and just as well supported in any app that reads image sequences.  If TGA is absolutely required, and you have Compressor, you can use Send To Compressor for share.  Then add an image sequence preset.  Inside compressor you can change the file format to TARGA.
    If you don't have Compressor, and again, TGA is an absolute requirment. I'd recomend exporting to tiff and then using a third party app to convert to TGA.

  • Problem exporting image sequence

    Hello,
    Somehow the rendering of my fileout node fales.
    I want to export my composition as an image sequence (tiff). When I render the fileout node, the flipbook is working, but the exported images contain only the foreground image of my composition and the background image is missing.
    What do I do wrong?
    I just connected a foreground image sequence to a background image, using the over node. Then I attached the fileout to the over node.
    Maybe it has something to do with the imagename of the fileout?
    Thanks for any advice,
    Wypke

    sorry,
    discovered that preview (the application in which I opened my shake-output) doesn't recognize shake exported files...

  • Export image sequence from AS flash file

    Hello:
    I am new to flash I am using flash professional 8 and
    publishing at version 6 (although I can publish to any version for
    this issue). I am using ActionScript 2.0 and am animating objects
    using code instead of tweens. I need to export the animation out as
    separate frames. I need the image sequence from the flash to use in
    other applications and other uses. If anyone has any idea on how to
    do this I'd appreciate knowing. I'd prefer to not have to buy more
    software of course but if that is the case and it is the best way
    let me know.
    Thanks in advance.

    The latest Flash CC 2014 release has an export to SVG option, which exports the current frame as SVG. There is no direct way to export the entire animation as SVG sequence though.
    You can find more details @ Flash Professional Help | New features summary

  • No export image sequence option

    I'm running 10.0.9 and under File>Share there is no Image Sequene option. How can I export clips as an image sequence?

    You need to Add Destination and pick image sequence from the selections on the right side of the dialog. Set your image properties as well. PS - you can add as many "destinations" of the same type as you like and customize the export properties.

  • How do I get PDF forms to export to excel in the desired order?

    How do I get PDF forms to export to excel in the desired order?
    Here is what I have done:
    As taken from another post:
    Choose Forms > Manage Form Data > Merge Data Files Into Spreadsheet.
    In the Export Data From Multiple Forms dialog box, click Add Files.
    In the Select file Containing Form Data dialog box, select a file format option in File Of Type option (Acrobat Form Data Files or All Files). Then locate the form files that you want to merge into the spreadsheet, select them, and click Select.
    Repeat the previous step to add form data files that are in other locations, as needed.
    Click Export. Then select a folder and filename for the spreadsheet, and click Save.
    In the Export Progress dialog box, click either View File Now to open the spreadsheet file or Close Dialog to return to Acrobat."
         The problem now is that Adobe populates Excel in ABC order of the form, based off of the name of each box in the form. For example, if my form has three text boxes, named A, B, and C, then Adobe will export to Excel as such:
    Row 1 =         A                              B                              C
    Row 2 =         data entered             data entered              data entered
    where 'data entered' is whatever the user typed into the form boxes. But what if I want a different order for exporting, and I don't want to rename my text boxes? What if I want:
    Row 1 =         C                              B                              A
    Row 2 =         data entered             data entered              data entered   ?
    Is there a way to do this in acrobat x or xi?
    Thanks

    I don't have time to test right now, but there was a change with Acrobat 10 where it exports according to the tab order, which you may have to set manually, so give that a shot. Otherwise, you'll have to process the file after it's exported if you need the fields in a particular order. This wouldn't be too difficult to do with something like a VBS or JS script in Windows.

    have a problem with my MacBook Pro.5,3 and monitor.  Intermittently, the desk top screen becomes broken up into vertical sections, which appear in the wrong order, creating a haphazard picture.
    The Apple icon, usually at top left corner, appears in top right corner  in a strip including all that left hand.  When the computer is restarted, the screen goes back to normal.  But I have to move the mouse to the far left of the screen and then up until it reappears on the far right hand side of the screen so that I can hit shut down button.
    It seems to happen randomly though always on desk top and sometimes when I move mouse and computer switches on from rest mode.   My large flat screen is relatively new.
    The video card on this computer, which is approximately two years old, is Nvidia FeForce 9400M.
    Any help would be welcome as my usual source of assistance is not available and I am not well versed in workings of the Mac although I have used one for many years.

    That sounds like a Hardware problem.
    You may be able to confirm that with Apple Hardware Test, or make an appointmenst for a free Genius Bar evaluation.

  • Images imported from QT exported image sequence have jagged edges

    Hi
    I've come across something strange which I'd like to resolve.
    I export an image sequence from QuickTime.
    I then import this into Aperture.
    But the images imported into Aperture now have jagged edges where there has been any movement in the original footage.
    The images originally exported from QuickTime look absolutely fine when viewed with preview, they have the expected blurring on moving objects, but no jaggedness.
    Now, a bit more detail.
    The footage I'm exporting from was shot by me and came from a Final Cut Pro edit.
    The codec in the QT movie is Apple Intermediate Codec and this is interlaced.
    The jagged edges on movement look to me like the problem of interlaced not being converted to progressive.
    However the exported images from QuickTime don't display this when viewed in Preview, it is only when viewed in Aperture that the jagged edges become apparent.
    I have tried exporting from QuickTime to jpg, png and psd, but the problem is identical no matter which format I use.
    I really want to now use Aperture to improve these exported images, but with this jagged edge problem I can't.

    Hi JNorris--
    Sounds like you need to apply the deinterlace filter (Effects tab: video filters: video: deinterlace) to the stills your exporting.
    See if that makes a difference to start.

  • Exporting Image Sequence creates duplicate frames 5 & 6

    Before I go and report this as a bug, has anyone else seen it? I'm exporting clips from an HD-DVCPRO 23.98fps timeline (for VFX handoff). Select Track, Mark In & Out, File > Export > Quicktime Conversion > Image Sequence > TGA > 24fps, no space before numbers.
    End result? All ten of the clips that I exported exhibited exactly the same problem - frame 6 is a duplicate of frame 5. All other frames are correct. The resulting clip is, I believe, 1 frame too long, i.e. you can cut out that frame 6 and end up with what you expected. I need to double check that frame 6 hasn't been actually lost.
    I'm off to investigate if this happens with other file formats and conditions, but this is 100% repeatable for me anyway. FCS 5.1.2 on MacBook Pro.

    I'm gonna get slapped for posting this (but guys, I really am rendering now...stills...a couple high res stills)...but I replicated the issue (on my lappy while the main machine was rendering). I did the steps you did and also got a 6th frame that was a duplicate of frame 5.
    Interesting...
