export still frames based on sequence markers

[Rainer Wirth]

You have to go manually from one marker to the next and export The still image. That’s the only way I know of.

Should work if:

1) you put your sequence in a bin

2) turn markers into subclips (if you have v.7)

3) export the subclips as stills

hope this helps

[Patrice Freymond] “you put your sequence in a bin”

What do you mean by this? Sequence already exists in the browser. No toggle down to reveal markers and make subclips. This only works with clips.

Sorry, my bad. This won’t work.

What does work is if you mark your sequence clips with markers, drag those clips in a bin and make sublips from the markers. You can then export the stills.

But it is not, unfortunately, the easy automated way you were looking for…

again, apologies fr misleading you.

I was looking for a way to do this myself.

I have about 50+ images I need to export per sequence / video

This was my solution.

Steps:

1. Select my shots with markers
2. Edit each markers Out Point in the browser to the same as the IN point. “Copy In point, Paste to out point”

3. Then I take my markers and drag them into a flat timeline like 25 FPS

4. Batch export each timeline to Image Sequence at 25 fps.

Not automated but saved me lots lots of time.

I was able to do something similar using the export queue.

If you make markers, then drag them to a folder and add them to export queue, you can use the in point and export still image from the export queue to send out frames. No need to copy in and out points.

Oh yes It works. Great, time saver.

I think I attempted this before but i did not put markers into new bin and it kept crashing.

Also on my solution which is not obsolete no need to copy in and pase in and out points,

simply make clip length to 00:00:00:01, just copy that into every marker clip.
