  • Problem With Image Sequence

    Posted by Nick Avaliani on March 1, 2011 at 2:03 pm

    Dear All, Greetings

    I have 88 minutes movie renderred and ready for DCP. I must make TIFF files. So I am writing image sequence from FCP to 6 TB folder, because whole volume is more than 1 TB

    But my computer gets stuck at about 65 000 of files, it happened two times. It first requires 6 hours to finish but than stucks in the middle of the movie.

    Can you tell me how to fix this.

    Or if I write TIFFs by parts will it work in Easy DCP? cause I know files must be numbered from 0001 to the end, so then how it can continue numbering if I stop at 65 000.tiff so how can I continue from 65001.tiff?

    please if you have experienced this help

    Why not output movie from FCP – current settings. Self contained.
    Then open it in QT and export movie to image sequence?

    OR

    Render it out of AE…

    Looks attractive, can you explain this a bit more precisely

    SO I will export movie from FCP? with export > export quicktime movie <>self contained apple prores 444 2048X1080, 24 FPS

    Then I could not understand how to export this movie to image sequence

    (By the way is this common workflow how DCPs are made for big theatrical movies????)
    thanks

    But you have a movie already, no?
    You want to export a TIFF sequence; why do you want to export another movie (Prores 444)?
    Chop the movie and export the sequence in batches.
