Converting a Numbered Image Sequence to a QuickTime Movie
You can use QuickTime Pro to convert a numbered image sequence to a QuickTime
movie. This is useful if you want to convert all your images to a single clip. You can then
import the movie into Final Cut Express and use it the way you use any other clip.
To convert a numbered image sequence to a QuickTime movie:
1
Open QuickTime Player.
2
Choose File > Open Image Sequence.
3
Locate the first numbered file of the image sequence you want to import, then click Open.
4
In the Image Sequence Settings dialog, choose a frame rate, then click OK.
You can choose any frame rate, but there is almost always an intended correct frame
rate based on the original format. If you aren’t sure, check with the person who
generated the image sequence to make sure you choose the proper frame rate. For
more information, see Appendix B, “
Your image sequence is imported into QuickTime Player as an uncompressed video file.
5
Choose File > Save.
Note: You can also choose File > Export > QuickTime Movie. This gives you the option
to customize the dimensions and codec of the movie. For more information, see
Chapter 66, “
Then click Open.
Locate and select
the first file of your
image sequence.
Choose a frame rate for
the movie from this
pop-up menu.
