Export lossless as image sequence with Compressor or Quicktime
Hi there,
I feel so smart right now cause I thought of this:
Export my movie to still images so I can grade them in Aperture or Photoshop! But when looking on the internet nobody seems to use this technique!My question is, how can I export my AVCHD lite codec .mov file to lossless .PNG or .TIFF or whatever? I’ve tried using Quicktime Player 7 Pro and Compressor but it did NOT seemed lossless (while these formats support 16-bit). The brightness is off. So does somebody know a way to export LOSSLESS a .mov to image sequence?
Thanks alot!

You shouldn’t edit in AVCHD anyways from the start.
Convert to prores when importing.
Edit.
Export current settings.Chris Tompkins

Photoshop allows QT movies. Why convert?

Yes I’m doing that, but I’m looking for a way to convert the AVCHD to tiff WITHOUT ANY quality loss. When using QT7 Pro or Compressor I can’t seem to get identical frames when exporting to TIFF format.. Please help.

I want to grade mostly in Aperture.

In Photoshop I can export the movie too. When selecting JPEG LOSSLESS or Tiff, always the image is DARKER. Is this because a change of Gamma Curves OR change of Color Profile. How to avoid? Thanks!

I personally use Premiere Pro and Lightroom (on a Mac) and I export TIFF image sequences. Lightroom is more appropriate than Photoshop, at least for basic color correction and for denoise purposes Lr reaches perfection. After that I just import my image sequences back to Pr Pro with no alternations or color problems.
