  • 947 stills with image sequence output from AE

    I’ve outputted my comp to a targa sequence, and also tried a PNG sequence. But I’m getting all these seprate stills in a folder Is this correct??? I thought it would be like a video clip it’s not? LOL Any way now I’m not sure what to do. I guess I can set the length for the stills and drop them into the vegas time line?
    But what should be length of each still? I not that smart, so it seems as if I am missing something. There must be a setting somewhere that puts them all together. Or is this normal. I’m using these files because I read many posts here about what files work well with vegas and AE that have an alpha channel. Targa, PNG, ?????? Yes…. No….. (hundreds and hundreds of stills oh my…) lol

    all the best

    File > Import.
    Browse to the folder these files are in and click on the first image in the sequence.
    At the bottom of this window, click the Open still image sequence box.
    Make sure the range is correct and click Open.
    Set any desired options (such as alpha channel) in the box that comes up and click OK.
    The sequence is converted to a file that can be dropped on your Vegas timeline.
    BTW, I done this using alpha channels with both PNG and Targa images and they work very well.

    Hey thanks Mike that worked perfectly. This was my first time using an image sequence out of AE. I started laughing when I saw all the stills. So that is normal and vegas imports them easily. Thanks again.

    all the best

    Glad to help Anthony.
    I’ve used this technique several times with image files from Maya and Lightwave so I knew that it would work for you as well.
