Problem with image sequence with more than 99999 tiffs
Posted by Andrea Marini on September 30, 2011 at 6:57 pmWe exported a tiff sequence for a DCP master, but after 99999 files FCP started again from 00001 overwriting the first part of the movie. The project is 74 minutes long.
Is there a workaround for that?

September 30, 2011 at 8:05 pmErrata corrige: the tiffs stopped at 65536. I found a similar post here on the cow but without a solution other than bringing the movie to a post house https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/8/1114564

October 1, 2011 at 3:54 amHave you tried to export a MOV to open it in QT 7 and do it from there?
You could try it in Compressor and After Effects too.

If I can remember, that limit the number of stills you can manage as a sequence, or for exporting a movie.
I guess is a kind of QT limitation; something like the limited length of movies.

For a Video NLE and for when QT was designed, 45 minutes Stills Sequences is not too bad.Even being able to manage a higher number, I see it very little recommendable.
If the advantage of the sequences is that you can treat/replace individual stills, chopping and compounding sequences is something natural.
