Droplet image sequence to prores convertor?
Anyone know a handy tool that you can drop a folder of image sequences on that will automatically spit out a ProRes quicktime with predefined settings?
Compressor can’t actually take folders of images as an input.
We are comping in Nuke and rendering on windows machines that can’t render to prores direct, and then need to take the renders into FCP.
I know about setting still duration to 1 frame in order to import images directly, but thats not really a good solution for large numbers of shots as it slows down FCP, we would like at Auto one drop prores convertor.
many thanks

You use QT Pro to import image sequences, and then export as ProRes. Compressor doesn’t do this, therefore droplets won’t work.

Yes I know you can use QuickTime Pro but it’s too slow doing this for dozens of new versions of shots everyday. I’m looking for a faster solution, and yes I’m aware that Compressor can’t do it, I’m hoping theres some third party shareware app that can do drag and drop image sequence to ProRes.
Anyone?

In compressor, you can’t drag and drop a folder or all the files of the image sequence, but you can still import an image sequence either to the open job or a new job. Unfortunately, it won’t work with droplets either, but you still only have a limited number of clicks to get to what you want.
The keyboard shortcut for ‘New Job With Image Sequence…’ is Apple+Option+I under the job menu. There was a bug where the movie didn’t calculate the framerate correctly, but I thought I saw that was fixed…Might want to test it out.
