4 In the Inspector, click the Encoder tab, then choose Image Sequence from the File Format
pop-up menu.
The Image Sequence Encoder pane appears.
5 Use the Image Type pop-up menu to choose one of the following image sequence types
for the output media. For descriptions of these output types, see Creating Image Sequence
Output Files.
• TIFF
• TARGA
• DPX
• IFF
• JPEG
• openEXR
6 Enter a number in the Frame Rate (fps) field, choose a frame rate from the pop-up menu,
or click the Automatic button.
7 Select the “Create unique output directory” checkbox if you want your image sequence
files stored in their own folder in the destination folder.
8 Select the “Add leading zeros to frame numbers” checkbox if you want your output image
sequence files numbered with the format 0000nn.
Important: The Compressor Remote Destination feature does not support uploading
image sequences to a remote destination (FTP server). Instead, use FTP software to upload
the image sequence to remote servers.
Since all still image types require square pixels (a pixel aspect of 1.0), Compressor may
have to alter the pixel dimensions of an image sequence job. To view or adjust these
parameters, select the target in the Batch window and click the Geometry tab in the
Inspector. If you will be using the image sequence in an application that can be set to a
specific size and pixel aspect ratio (such as Motion), make the appropriate changes in the
Geometry pane before encoding.
To adjust the pixel aspect ratio of an image sequence job before transcoding
1 In the Batch window, select the image sequence target.
2 In the Geometry pane in the Inspector window, use the Frame Size pop-up menu to
choose the appropriate output dimensions (such as 720x480, 1920x1080, and so on) for
the image sequence.
The Pixel Aspect pop-up menu becomes active.
3 In the Pixel Aspect pop-up menu in the Geometry pane, choose the appropriate pixel
aspect ratio for your image sequence.
