  To many TIFFs

  Posted by scottwitt Scott witt on January 19, 2007 at 7:53 pm

  I am working on a project where I am exporting Tiffs to make sequences.

  It is a flyby view of the bathymetry of Lake Champlain.
  I have roughly 20,000 images.

  After about 14,000 images it refused to accept anymore Tiffs.

  Has anyone ran into this problem?

  Thanks,

  You are exporting or importing these TIFFs to FCP?

  If I’m understanding what you’re saying correctly, you have an image sequence of this flyby that you’re trying to pull in to final cut pro, sequence, and export as a quicktime movie, correct? You’re not taking a video of the flyby and trying to export an image sequence then.

  If this is correct, you’re running into problems because Final Cut is not a compositor, and thus uses different methods from After Effects/Motion/Shake/etc. to load media. You should do this in Motion (because you already have it if you have FCP). If you must do it in FCP, export multiple clips of 5000 frames at a time, then sequence those clips together and output one final clip.

  Delete everything South of the Crown Point bridge. You won’t have a problem and the rest of the
  lake will thank you. 🙂
