  • Joining jpegs to create a single clip

    Posted by Matthew Clewlow on February 10, 2013 at 12:40 pm

    Hello, is there any function in fcp7 that can join together a lot of individual time lapse jpegs into a single clip to make them easier to work with? I dont wish to use QT or export as a clip from fcp if possible…
    Cheers

    well, yes, and no.

    whats wrong with using QT?
    that is the way to do it.

    use QT player7,
    File Menu> open image sequence,
    navigate to your 1st stil, follow the prompts.

    you would be best to export as a self contained file in a format FCP likes.

    you *could* import the frame sin to FCP (1st set your still / freeze duration to 1 fr in user prefs)
    plonk them into a sequence and use that as a nest.

    see how you go, could get slow and cumbersome.

    If you have to deal with lot of stills, start by increasing the “Still Cache” (Preferences).
    Is well known that FC do not likes managing big amount of stills, but some times works better than others.

    dont know if it helps, but when i recently did a time lapse project, i opened each batch of stills in after effects, using the ‘import as footage’ (i think) option

    then exported from there and edited filmes in fcp
