Image Sequence
The built-in OpenEXR Image Sequence and TIFF Image Sequence settings use the Image
Sequence transcoding format. This format encodes a variety of image sequence le types used
in motion graphics, including TIFF, OpenEXR, JPEG, PNG, and more. You can also create custom
settings that use the Image Sequence transcoding format.
The properties of built-in and custom settings that use this transcoding format are located in the
General inspector and Video inspector. These properties are described below.
Important: When you add a setting (or a destination that includes settings) to a job, Compressor
analyzes the source media and then automatically assigns the most appropriate setting
properties (based on the setting’s transcoding format and the characteristics of your source
media le). It’s recommended that you use the automatically assigned setting properties.
Setting summary
Displays the setting name and transcoding format, as well as an estimated output le
size. When you add a setting to a job or change the setting’s properties, this summary
automatically updates.
