Export Limited number of Images

I want to export a series of images from a video, but only, say, a frame every three or four seconds. A person on all the images in the video 90 to 120. What is possible in AE, or what I need to do this in another program CC?

I have a method that is easier than what Todd and Rick have suggested, assuming that you don't want to export specific images such as Todd is referenced script would do.

  1. Add your comp to the render queue.
  2. Open the render settings dialog box.
  3. In the frame rate box, choose use this cadence. Set the value to your desired interval. If you want 1 images / second, enter 1. If you want 1 image every 4 seconds, enter 0.25. (You can also simply enter 1/4. Easter Egg: AE can do math in numeric entry fields.)
  4. OK, the render settings dialog box.
  5. Change the settings of output as desired.* Module
  6. Start rendering.

* I do not recommend using QuickTime, if your frame rate is less than 1. Use a format like PNG or TIFF image sequence instead. When I tested this method, making the successful file QuickTime but its import in caused AE AE start giving errors when trying to use the QuickTime files (the file has caused the QT32 crash server process). Sigh. I'll drop the tomorrow.* bug *.

* UPDATED 2013-09-23: after the insulation and the bug filing, it is not as bad I found initially. The problem is isolated to the frame rate of 0.49 fps or less, and not all QuickTime codecs are the problem. Animation and ProRes are among those affected.

Nevertheless, for this workflow, it is preferable to use image sequence formats.

  • Problems with XFL export from AE CS4, Flash CS4, limited to 1000 images

    I am currently working on a project of JibJab style where a third party organization have made an animation. Now, we have followed the movement of the head in AE CS4 and export to Flash using the XFL, and the movement does not work.

    Before that, we have done several tests to see if this method works, so we know that it actually works, but the tests where only a couple of 100 frames long, now the project is more than 1500 images.

    The final animation is of 60 s, 25f, and after you import the movement in FLASH using the XFL, nothing happens. The movement is there if we look into the query editor, the image is there, but nothing happens when I rub back. This worked like a charm with test projects. AND if I try and rightclick the picture or a FLASH editor freezes, so I know that something is wrong here.

    After four hours of bug hunting I've isolated the problem to the number of images, you are trying to import into FLASH. If the ending sequence is over 1000 images (exactly!) an extra keyframe is added on the first picture in the query editor, there are TWO keyframes on the first picture, where it should only be possible to have a. This only happens if the sequence is over 1000 images. If I take the same sequence and export EI so its less then 1000 frames all right.

    I've attached a screenshot of the additional keyframe only apears in the query editor. It is the remarkable allso that this additional key image cannot be changed or adjusted as it does not actually "excist".

    I wish I had this bug confirmed by someone and if anyone has a solution? Now I'm chopping export in sections '999 frames' looking to the right and then patch it together again in Flash.

    Ah, I forgot, I work in an OSX environment. All comments are welcome!

  • How to change the appearance of the number using images?

    Hello!

    I want to design a numbers on photoshop and make an animation count numbers.

    I have sucsess to do animation account numbers, but I don't know how to make the numbers I want.

    for example

    1 = 1. jpg / psd 1.

    2 = 1. jpg / psd 1.

    up to 9

    Ty!

    There is no automatic way to do a countdown to use images instead of numbers, but there is a solution.

    It is a type of advance but the here is one of the approaches that I could take.

    • Each of your images photoshop exports a separate numbered file their numbering from 1 to 9 and put them in the same folder
    • Open the dialog of the import in AE by double clicking on the project Panel or by selecting file > import > file and select one of the images in the order
    • Make sure part options open dialog is visible and check the box that says (any file type you choose) JPEG sequence is checked
    • Now add your images are a movie in the timeline with all images in order
    • Add your movie to image sequence to the timeline
    • Activate the time-remapping set up the synchronization of the images to change the speed that you want to change them

    There are several ways to control the speed of the movie you made from your images. You can set the frame rate in the interpretation of file or use time or use an expression to call a number of image based on time.

    You could also import all your images individually, drag them to the timeline and then set an out point to say 1 second for all layers, then the wizard from keyframe to the sequence of layers and even define an overlap and the transition between layers if you wish.

    To learn more about time remapping type time remapping in the search field help in the upper right of the AE and extract the help files. Do the same for the layers in sequence and the sequence of images if you need to.

  • ' Export As.. ' & 'Quick export in PNG' output images are different from what I see in Photoshop.

    Export a large number of images, and some of them come looking very different to what I see in photoshop...

    It is nothing complicated, just an image with a mask and a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer applied. Some do well, some strange - see image attached.

    Can anyone tell why this is happening? This has messed up my entire workflow now...

  • HDR - number of images

    I can combine any number of images or the HDR functionality is limited to 3?

    I have in mind at least 5 or 6, or sometimes 9

    I did it up to 9 images raw on Lightroom CC and it works fine. Do not know what is the limit though.

  • Why is the number of images in LR 5.3 not equal to the total number of images.

    Down at the bottom with tray slide in Lightroom, it lists the total number of images displayed, followed by the total number of images that is then followed buy the number of selected images. Once in one of my catalogs, it displays "all photographs 3872 of 3883 1 selected.  I have no filters on.  In the catalogue on the left side box, "All photographs" I selected.  So, why it only shows me 3883 3872?  How will I know what the 11 photographs are that it does not appear?

    I saw a previous post where someone was weird numbers in order to synchronize the folder and they used "Export as Catalog" and he cleaned the wobbly catalog.  Considering that you have only a few thousand files, it should go quickly if cut you everything in the export.  You can then load the new catalog and see if he deleted things upward.

  • Change the number of images of scene Time

    Creates a new file & new layer with 300 images.

    Used only 150 images for animation.

    How to edit (trim) the scene / project until JUST the images, I need (IE 300 to 150) prior to their export to swf?

    When you create a new layer in a file, you create automatically a fixed number of images in this layer (unless it's something new I've never heard of, which is always possible).  Anything you post must include only the timeline you filled with the content managers.

    Still, if you can take a screenshot and show what you describe, it can help clear things upward.

  • Windows 7 Photo Screensaver slide show the maximum number of Images? Recommended file specifications?

    I use Photos as a screensaver as described here:
    It seems that if I have too many image files for the photos as screensaver. After the screen saver slide show has worked for at least 20 minutes, it lags behind trying to leave the screen saver and return to the desktop.
    What are the specifications of file recommended for use of photos as a screen saver?
    • file size in MB (which resembles all default values in C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper
    • dimensions maximum file (which looks like all default values in C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper
    • types of files (extensions)
    • maximum number of images supported
    When you look at the pictures in my file they all seem to be in the 2 MB and range 1920 x 1200. So my only guess is that having too many is the problem. It does not lag when I change the directory of C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper. I'm only here a hypothesis, some data of real functional specs would help immensely.

    You would replace your location in the control panel settings to access the applications not available in your area... If your current region has a limited choice of applications, these applications are simply not available for this region (defined by the developer/publisher

    Remember that you can only make App purchases for the region as your method of payment/preferences(located in your Microsoft Account billing), then change your local area on your PC, you will be able to install free applications

  • HTML export: why are my images at the end of the document?

    I hope it's a very simple question, even embarrassing. I'm in position regrettable to have to get an InDesign converted HTML document can be used for a project, despite having never used InDesign before, so I start to almost zero knowledge here.

    The export process seems simple enough, except that the images that appear inline (integrated with the text, you'd see in most publications) are simply thrown at the end of the document when I export to HTML. Everything in the HTML code looks very good, and if I export to PDF, even images appear as expected. Same problem if I export to epub, so it seems to be something specific to the HTML-based export formats.

    I've read enough documentation to get the impression that this is not normal, but I don't know where to begin to understand what is happening and how to fix it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    These images are probably not inserted graphics and are probably independent of graphics. Confirm it by: movement text block, actually moving graphic with framework?, or select text, and then switch to editor mode, you see an anchor icon in the text? If you find that the graphics are not online, you will need to place them in the thread of the text.

    You keep a copy of your old folder from catalog PSE10 somewhere? It is often possible to get a usable conversion by creating a new folder from catalog containing only the database file 'catalog.pse10db '. Who restores the keywords, ratings, the batteries of legends and notes, not version games or albums.
