Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy Compressor 4 add multiple image sequences

  • Compressor 4 add multiple image sequences

    Hi!

    There’s no forum dedicated to Apple Compressor, so this looks like the most relevant place to ask this question, considering that Compressor is part of the FCP suite.

    I have about forty TIFF image sequences that I need to convert to ProRes422 movies with Compressor 4.

    When I go to File – Add Image Sequence, I can only select one sequence. I don’t want to do this forty times just to add all my sequences one by one.

    How can I batch add my sequences?

    Thanks for you reply Dave,

    My question was in a slightly different context.

    I am aware that compressor is a great tool for Batch processing, however, I can’t figure out how to specifically add multiple image sequences with one click.

    My sequences are all in separate folders.

    Should I put them all in one folder and add them as one sequence?

    I’ve tried dragging the folder sin to compressor, that didn’t work. I’ve tried selecting multiple folders in the ‘Open Image Sequence’ dialog, but the program doesn’t let me do that. So I’m scratching my head over this one.

    has anyone figured out how to import multiple image sequences at the same time in the “Current” dialog?

    you might have to import them individually.
    could take more than a whole minute!
