Tim Nelson Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Hi, This is the first time I've tried saving my animations as single frames instead of a movie out of Viz. So, for now, I am only playing with about 160 frames. I'm looking for an easy way to take this into Premier 6 with the proper frame rate. I've tried dragging all the files into the track and they all come in at 5 seconds a piece. Then I figured I could easily change all them to the appropriate speed or duration, but it wouldn't let me. Any help would be super. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzzy Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Go to import file, select your first file. When you select the first file, you will see a check box "numbered stills" . That will solve your problem. That will bring all of your numbered stills. The frame rate depends on your project setting not your images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Nelson Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 Hehe, ok 1 year later!...I just downloaded the trial version of Premier Pro 1.5 and am trying to do the same exact thing as above - importing still image sequences. But now it will only import about 13 frames and I can't figure out why. Any idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Nelson Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 Actually, on some sequences it picks up more than that, and on others less than that. I must be doing something wrong again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Warner Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Are you missing frames? Generally, if I have a 500 frame sequence, and I'm missing frame 181, it will stop importing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecastillor Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 What output do you use? No matter what settings i give Premier, The reslut i kind of blury, compared to the result I get directly from exporting the complete movie from max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just about to write back that I wasn't missing any frames, and then I looked again. Missing #15. Thanks Chad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what settings i give Premier, The reslut i kind of blury, compared to the result I get directly from exporting the complete movie from max I've heard from most people that they recommend rendering to .tiff frames instead of direct movie output from max. I've tried this and have never noticed any blurriness from Premier, but then again I haven't used it that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Homeless Guy Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 yep, only render an image sequence, never an animtion file. there are several reasons for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecastillor Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Yeah i know...there are several different reasons to export images...not animation files...(Render in different machines, render in parts, alpha channels, ) But my questio is...what do tou recommend for Output? What kind of file and what settings? Ive tried AVI, mov, wmf, and used Mpeg but premier ceased to export those (I guess it was just a try out)... But in all of them i end up with blury animations....even at 720x480 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawyer Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I am really glad to hear that so many people have had problems with getting a quality sequence from Premier. I only get blury movies, I even have an old purchase or Lumier a video comp program I bought 5 years ago and I get better movies with that than premier.

This might be a good discussion to get going then if others have problems with it. I'd like to hear how the pro's do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Cassil Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I have always exported my media from premeire, but like some of you have never been really exited about the quality. I'd like to hear how the pro's do it. I believe they would use a product like Autodesk Cleaner XL. http://www4.discreet.com/cleanerxl/cleaner.php?id=120 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Depending on what your final output will be - when I am going to DVD I export as an avi with Huff codec http://www.codec-download.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=49 This is almost lossless but not 100% which gives excellent results but huge files. Then, use TMPGenc to encode it to Mpeg2, followed by exporting it to DVD using Pinnacle software. The results are excellent. hope this helps n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
