Work with image sequence les
You can import a sequence of still images into Compressor as an image sequence source le.
Each image in the image sequence represents a single video frame.
Import a set of image sequence les
1 Do one of the following:
•
At the bottom of the batch area, choose Add Image Sequence from the Add pop-up menu
, select a folder of image sequence les, and then click Add.
•
Drag all of the image sequence les (not a folder that contains the les) from the Finder into
the batch area.
A new source media le appears in a job in the batch area.
2 Click the Add Outputs button under the source media le, and then choose a transcode setting
and save location in the window that appears.
The job now contains a source le made of sequential images and output instructions (a setting,
a save location, and an output lename).
