Using TIFF sequences in FCP?
Good morning Cowers,
Am I doing this right?
I’ve shot some sequences with a Phantom HD camera at 2048 x 1080 @ 1000 frames-per-second. That bit went fine.
I have the RAW picture cine files stored on hard drive. Using the Phantom software I’ve converted the RAW sequences into TIFF files, also at 2048 x 1080.
I then put the entire folder of TIFFs into my FCP timeline, with the preferences set to 1 frame duration for each TIFF.
Then I exported the sequence as an uncompressed QuickTime file to use in my edit.
It seems to have worked fine, but it all seems a bit too simple really. Keep thinking I must be missing something.
Does anyome have any tips for using TIFF sequences in FCP?
Thanks,
Steve.

You’re pretty close.
Here’s what I’d do:
1- Export the .tiff sequence from the Phantom software as you’ve been doing.
2- Open the .tiff sequence in Quicktime Pro (shift-command-o to open an image sequence).
3- Export from QT using settings that exactly match the timeline settings you want to use.
4- Import into FCP & edit into your timeline.
5- Have a nice coffee, espresso or cappuccino, you’ve earned it!

Thank you Arnie,
I’ve tried it and it’s working very well – playback seems to be a bit smoother this way too.
Cheers,
Steve.

Hi
I did a shoot on friday with a Photron SA1 which shoots loads of TIFFs, When i try and open the TIFF sequence in Quicktime pro the fastest frame rate i can choose is only 60fps!
I shot at 2000fps so does anyone know how i change the settings. I will be editing using FCP.
Cheers
Lee
