  • import tif files as sequence???

    Posted by Juliett on February 27, 2006 at 12:22 pm

    Hi Everyone

    I have just received some tif files (lots of them) on a LacieDrive to import into my final cut project as a sequence. The footage was shot on a high speed camera which directly stored onto te drive.

    Does anybody know how I can import these files as a sequence.

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Julie 🙂

    If they’re numbered sequentially (hopefully) you can set the FCP stills import preference to one frame and import the folder. There will be a 999 frame limit before the file sequence gets wonky. You could also use the QuickTime Pro player. Use Open>Image Sequence. Select the first numbered image in the sequence and open it. Set the frame rate. Then export to a QT file in the format your’re working in.

    All the best,

    Tom

    Hi Tom

    Thank you for the reply

    I chose to do it via Quick Time and it worked. However when I insert this QT clip into my timeline the red bar appears asking for it to be rendered. Is this normal?

    Thanks
