  Adobe for Animators

  I’m about to crank up the render farm for the first project to be ingested into Premire Pro CS4. With the Velocity NLE, I had a dialog for importing image sequences which then were compiled into their proprietary dps video file format.

  What’s the best way to work with image sequences in Premier?

  I’ve heard that they import but as they lie in the Premier sequence timeline you must render them. I was also told that they are not then a separate video clip that I can use elsewhere with ease.

  I could render to an uncompressed AVI in 3DS MAX. Never did that for a rendering farm. I sometimes need the stills for label work in Photoshop etc… Plus if the rendering halts, it’s better to have the images completed thus far than an aborted AVI. I could generate the image sequences and create the AVI as a separate step in Cleaner. More work & wasted diskspace.

  And then there is the Matrox MX02 Mini I’ve just installed. Would be cool if I can import the image sequence into a video clip in the Matrox Mpeg2 I-Frame format….especially if it would let me dial in a frame # for a head & tail. Had that ability on a Diaquest controller card puting image sequences onto a BetaCam SP deck via the Targa+ board in the early 1990’s. Leitch said they’d add it to the Velocity image import dialog when I asked them at NAB. Then Harris came along and Bob turned out not to be my uncle after all.

  Anyway, just trying to get a heads up from the experienced people out there in COWland.

  Thanks.
