Image - Image sequence or sequence Quicktime conversion

Hi all

IM on a Mac using the suite CS4 and my film is in the format. MP4 Long GOP of a Sony EX 1.


I encountered some problems with trimming/consolidation of first projects and implementing Mocha due the Long GOP.
Since I don't usually spend more money on ANOTHER product to learn ANOTHER application, I thought I could just convert and replace my clips via the queue or Media Encoder in a format that does not problems.


Previous info I got from the forum was: "Animation and codecs PNG in a QuickTime container as Exchange lossless formats are good. The PNG codec is better for photorealistic images - as most of the video - while the Animation is better compression of large areas of the same color, like in a cartoon. (Where the name 'Animation'.)

Apple uncompressed 10-bit - when the quality is greater and you have a lot of speed and disk space
Apple ProRes HQ - quality almost without loss, but smaller size files. »


To further confuse me, I read in book AE CS4 effects of Visual Mark Christiansen, a sequence is better than the Quicktime movie because of the ease of replacement of bad image and some other stuff on Quicktime gamma incompatible formats.  But then, in a sidebar, it said sequences would not play back so easily using non-linear editor. However, the sequences are the best choice for larger projects or more long form.  ... and something about 10 bit uncompressed is only Lossless to 8bpc.  I did not get around learning about 16 and 32 bpc and why or how I'd use apart from a tutorial video Copilot on creaing which flourishes beyond the 255 white.  Then someone mention Apple Pro Res because of 4 2 2 color space.

HUH WHAT?


Some of these concepts are currently a little over my head.  Basically, I just want to convert my images without losing quaility to something that will work in AE (with Mocha) and can change and consolidate in Premiere Pro.  What is the best to choose when I lose ALL the quality of the original sequence.  File size is not a problem that I have a lot of hard disk space and will be consolidated.

Thank you

What is the best to choose when I lose ALL the quality of the original sequence.

Uncompressed. If not as strict on ANY Lagarith or HuffYuv are also good.

  • Conversion of image sequence Cineon LOG in Apple ProRes 4444 XQ in Media Encoder CS6

    Hello

    I have a sequence of images Cineon LOG I want to convert to Apple ProRes 4444 XQ, but I'm not sure of the procedure.

    I use Adobe Media Encoder CS6 on a Macbook Pro OS 10.11.2 2012.

    Could you please tell me how to on this subject?

    Also, I find that I don't have the ProRes 4444 XQ Preset codec in Media Encoder... Can I download it somewhere?

    Thank you

    Tiya


    The problem is resolved. Here's how:

    I bought ' Glue Tools Cineon / DPX Toolkit for Mac OS X and used it with Apple Compressor 4 on my Macbook Pro (2012) running El Capitan.

    I was able to convert Log Cineon sequences of images in ProRes 4444 XQ QuickTime movies.

    Some things to note:

    • After downloading the Toolkit, you must activate it from the system preferences panel and make sure that you select the correct Conversion settings in the Cineon / DPX icon (bottom of the system preferences panel).
    • Glue Tools also have a trial / demo for you to try Mode.
    • Currently, glue tools Cineon/DPX Toolkit (4.1.2936) supports only compressor 4, but can add features for the Media Encoder and other tools in the future.
    • Use "Import a file" compressor 4 and select the first file of the Cineon or DPX image sequence when you try to get the glue tools to read them. Do not use 'Import Image Sequence'.
    • Once you have written the ProRes 4444 XQ, you may still need to correct color, but Glue Tools has excellent support.

  • problem: import the image sequence into adobe media encoder

    Hello

    have a problem with adobe media encoder CS6, change the display Format to 25 time frame in the preferences of media coder, I import a series of TGA (170 images) to media encoder in an image file TGA sequence, the series generated from 3D applications Max and ToonBoom, specification of TGA series 1080 50i "1920 X 1080 - high filed - 25 frames per second. When I import the sequence, encode media recognize the sequence as 1920 X 1080 - progressive - 29.97 FPS, to interpret the window images options I change the settings of the upper sequence deposited - 25 fps, and I export to quicktime mov 1920 X 1080 - class top - 25 fps uncompressed

    the problem:

    mov file is 06:20 and it is right for the 170 25 fps calendar but mov file does not contain the tga series image, image freeze in time code 05:16 (number 142 of the framework) and duplicate the 142 image to the rest of the video file

    If I do not change the pace to interpret the window options images for the tga sequence what media encoder recognizes as 29.97 FPS mov file contain all TGA images, but with a duration of 05:16 which not 25 fps

    in adobe media encoder CS5.5 I don't get this problem at all

    1. How do I solve this problem?

    2. how to force CS6 adobe media encoder to recognize the image sequence imported as rate of 25 fps?

    "Film" is finally fixed in November 2013 video updates of creative cloud. If your version of Premiere Pro and SOUL is or more 7.1.0 everything should work as expected. But don't forget to actually perform "Film" on your source in first Pro CC or CC SOUL that, otherwise your sequence of images will continue to be interpreted as 29.97 FPS by default.

  • Play the image sequence

    Hi, I have png image sequences in my active folder, and I would like to 'play '. Is it possible to do?

    Thank you

    According to the number of images, quality images and delay between each picture, you could probably get away with just using a QTimer.

    Although I have not tried with cascades/bb10, I did it with older BBOS and almost never ran into performance issues...

    in a nutsheel to store a table of images then set up your QTimer (e.g. all the 1 second) to display images in this table using a circular counter.

  • Create proxy for the image sequence

    Hey guys,.

    Today, I was delighted to see the newly implemented for PremierePro proxy workflow.

    Unfortunately I have not yet figured out how to apply this workflow for image sequences.

    Is this possible?

    Background:

    We do not stop motion animation and all our images always comes into frame sequences with each frame being 20 MP. We want to keep the resolution up to photo-serrure, because we would like to keep the possibility to crop and zoom into images.

    So far, we have created lowquality of sequences of images as proxies (in the same resolution) and they use them for editing in a FullHD timeline, where we can evolve and frame (and of course change) images. After picture lock replaced the original media. Once the images is online and the harvest is final, we create a FullHD prores file for VFX and editing.

    But this process is error-prone.

    When I now import a sequence of images in the creation and create a proxy for her, a mov with only the first image file is created.

    Which is obviously useless.

    My question:

    1 would it not possible to import a sequence of images and create a sequence of images of proxy (with the same interpretation of the images, i.e. of framerate) from the original image sequence?

    2. the sequence of images proxy perhaps erred in lower resolution (original image in format 5760 x 3840 px, resolution 1920 x 1080 proxy), and once I pass the proxy to original scaling is adjusted accordingly.

    Really looking forward to some tips to achieve this!

    Thanks and good luck

    Max

    I had a little further:

    I made a mistake by creating templates in the MediaEncoder:

    I created a coding model and not a model of ingestion (who both the end of the .edr file), which should in fact have been obvious.

    So now I have:

    1 has created a file of 5760 x 3840 Prores4444 out of sequence of images

    2 imported the first PorRes4444

    3 creates a proxy using my own template (ProRes 422 Proxy 1920 x 1280) with aspect ratio 3:2.

    It works, BUT:

    When I play the file on the timeline proxy, the proxy file is adjusted differently than the original file (proxy disabled), but only during playback.

    It is probably a completely different question, I'll create another post for this.

  • When I scroll through the mask of image sequence does not follow the layer of the timeline?

    Another problem. I simply scroll the image sequence and you can see on the screenshot that the mask remains where it was in the beginning. I applied red tinted effect (just to show you), and it does not stick to the station when scroller is at the end of the timeline which is say that the mask is not to follow. But it should, because the mask is the image sequence. Why? Please take a look. Maybe there is something wrong with the Ctrl c and Ctrl v method - it's how I inserted my BW mask in the layer mask?

  • importFiles for the image sequence

    How can I import a sequence of images with the app.project.importFiles command?

    Is this possible?

    Currently using a command like this:

    app.project.importFiles(["/Volumes/files/DPX_4k_16/rf_dcp4k_dpx_4k_16.00001.dpx"])

    However, it important that a single image.

    I also tried:

    app.project.importFiles(["/Volumes/files/DPX_4k_16/rf_dcp4k_dpx_4k_16.###.dpx"])

    app.project.importFiles (["/ Volumes/files/DPX_4k_16/rf_dcp4k_dpx_4k_16."]) (["[00001-01000] .dpx"])


    I would also like to be able to set the frame rate when importing as well if possible.

    Currently, it is not possible to import an image sequence, using importFiles().

    I added your vote to the feature request AND our other 'Provide API to define the interpretation of sequences' demand of functionality, as popular.

  • Text in MSO disappears at the top of the image sequence

    Hello. I have a sequence of images to auto-play, and I want a text is displayed above it after the image sequence plays. I put the text in an autoplay MSO, the first State being a box empty. The text appears so when I saw using the content for the Desktop Viewer, but it does not appear when I saw on the iPad, or when I update the folio article. How can I get the text?

    Why the first State is empty? The two States should be identical, set to play once and stop finally State.

  • Why the last image of the exported image sequence is sometimes black?

    I get sequences of images in Photoshop and then exporting them to a file mp4 video.  For some reason, Photoshop sometimes decides to put a black frame at the end of the video, no matter what I try settings.  Sometimes it leaves aside the black frame.  I can't understand why he did this.  If anyone knows how to get rid of this?  When I import the resulting sequences first, I need to change all the frames of black.  Not impossible to deal with, but it is kind of a pain.

    Use, file-> open and checking the box 'Sequence of Image', I am loading a sequence of JPGs I've cropped in Photoshop (using a script to automate this process), and I specify 23.976 fps. I checked all the JPG files, and they are OK. I play the animation in Photoshop, and it looks good.  I then export the movie using the file-> export-> made video, I use Adobe Media Encoder, h.264 format, high quality, 1920 x 1080 (the original document size), 23.976 fps.  It automatically selects the zone selection to export work.  That seems correct.  In a sequence of images of N, it is said that it will export images 0 to N-1, which I think is OK if it indexes starting at 0 and not 1.  I tried to export (frames) checked, and the result is the same.  The last image is black.  I also tried to change the work area to remove the last image and the last frame of the rendered video is so dark, but the last image of the sequence, I opened is missing.  I checked the image sequence that was exported with the area of complete work (or frameworks) selected and all managers are there - with just a framework black, added at the end, which is certainly not in the work area.

    No error message.

    I checked the help, also I tried searching the forums, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

    The problem has been around on and off for a few years.  He had disappeared with CC, but now he's back, even though I'm not aware of what I'm doing differently.

  • How to import image sequences which have been made in layers of Blender to the AE?

    Does anyone know how how to import image sequences which have been made in layers of Blender to the AE?

    I tried to make it to the first plan and background in separate layers in a blender & bring to AE as sequences of images separate but have so far failed.

    I used targa, .tiff, .png, and same openEXR multicoated, but none worked for me so far.

    I do it all the time. Make your sequence of images in a separate folder for each passage, use a number like bg_0001.tif format, go it to file > import and select any file in the folder and check the box image sequence, and then import.

  • full page or image sequence cover or slide show

    Hi all.

    I want to have a slide show or a sequence of images on the cover of a magazine DPS, but if I create a page with the full page image sequence and put the magazine on the top, the newspaper logo disappears when the sequence of images is enabled.

    I can put the logo in Photoshop hollow but that s would take more time and effort.

    Hello

    Create an MSO of the logo (reproduce the logo) and set it to AutoPlay using the Folio Overlay.

    In this way he will always remain on top of your slideshows.

    Hope this helps.  =)

  • Text in front of the image sequence

    In InDesign, I have a block of text at the top of a sequence of Folio Overlay images.

    When I preview the it, the text will appear for the first image in the image sequence, then disappears.

    How can I do to be visible for the entire sequence?

    I found adding the text in a floating framework is the best way to do it. Make sure that the empty frame in which you paste the text block is bigger that the text frame itself.

    I tend to use 'Auto-detect' for the direction and made in the form of "vector".

    I'm working on a new installation of Premiere Pro 5.5 and I ran across a problem that I've never met before. When I go to import a sequence of images, first is do not give me the "image sequence" checkbox at all... It is not yet here. I tried two types of files (tiff and jpg) and still nothing. Point all I can do is made a QT or something, I like to do at this point.
