major issues creating time lapse
i have 2 time lapse in my current sequence. what i did was shot them on my 5d in jpg format, imported into lightroom and exported as a tiff as 1920 x 1080. the left the dpi default at 240ish. Should I change it to 72 dpi?
problem 1:
when i drag it on my sequence, the picture is more of a box and not 16:9 so I have two black bars on each side. what i did was scaled the first image (in motion tab), copy attributes, then select the remaining stills and paste attributes. that fixes the first problem but is there an easier way to do it so i don’t have to rescale?problem 2:
when i render, about 10-20 frames get “stuck” and it doesn’t play after render. so what i have to do is isolate those 10-20 frames, delete, find the files and put it back in the timeline, and rescale. a total pita. i have trashed prefs, restarted app, restarted the mac. nothing works. usually after putting the stuck frames back on, it will work until the next render.any ideas?

Open the files as an image sequence in Quicktime and save it out that way first. Or AE can load it as an image sequence. FCP isnt meant to handle that many large stills.

No need to convert them to tiff. Put all the images in a single folder and use QuickTime Pro to make a movie from a image sequence. You can then export it to any proper editing codec and size you like.
Hindsight is always 1080p

thanks for all the advice. it worked and i was able to render. so all my single images was causing fcp to crash!

Yes. That is the display definition for computer files.
