  • Need to export a full clip into still frames

    Posted by Joshua Gross on April 15, 2011 at 1:38 pm

    Hello, I am working on a multi camera video and one of the shots has another camera in it. So I have tried to set up the camera again to mask over it, but I can’t get the same exact position and frame as the video was. So I am lost in what to do. The last resort is to export the entire clip as still frames and edit each and every one, but as you know that will take a lot of time and be a pain. The idea of re shooting is unfortunately out of the question. Does anyone know of a different way I could try this, or if I have to do frame by frame edit in Photoshop, is there a way to export an entire clip as stills, instead of exporting each frame separately?
    Any help would be great,
    Thanks.

    I suppose this question should’ve been posted in different forum.
    Of course, you can export material into image sequence (Tiff, png, jpg, and so on) thru File->Export->Using QuickTime conversion. I didn’t get it: You need to paint-out camera in your shot? Then export footage and apply mask in Motion, AF, or any other application for composing.

    Correct, the camera is shown in another camera’s footage. So I am working on masking it out. But I wasn’t sure about motion, mainly because I am not familiar with it. I will have to look into that.
