    Premiere Cs4 setup for movie seq to tiffs

    l1o1t1r1 Community Member

      How do I set up Premiere cs4 to save a segment of a film to tiffs (not the whole film just a segment of it)

      I have googled no luck and searched youtube no luck.

      TIA

          You should be able to Export to a TIFF Sequence from AME. You can limit the area of Export with the WAB (Work Area Bar).

           

          In versions up through CS4, you can also use the FLM (Filmstrip) format.

           

          Good luck,

            The WAB is that located in the Export > Media window?

            What's the AME? (is the the Media Encoder?)

            The Filmstrip (FLM) opens in Photoshop cs4 ?

              John,

               

              Yes, FLM will open in PS. As of PrPro CS5, it has been removed. Are you doing some Rotoscoping?

               

              As for the WAB, take a look here:

              It's that little "bar" with two "bracket handles" on top of the Timeline.

               

              Good luck,

                OK I found the WABs

                I moved them to the start and the end of the seq I want

                Capture.JPG

                Then I went to file > export > media  set to tiffs but it renders all the frames not the segment.

                I see some sliders at the bottom of media window do I need to move them?

                  Not every Export option has the choice of Full Sequence, or Work Area Only. If there is no checkbox, or drop-down to select Work Area Only, then that could be one of the Export options that does not allow it.

                   

                  Another workflow could be to do a Save_As for the Project, leaving the original untouched. Then, just Delete all Clips/footage before that desired segment, and all after. Export the remaining Timeline (the area that you would have set with the WAB, if that had been an Export option). Import THAT TIFF Sequence into the original Project.

                   

                  One could also do this with individual Sequences, and not have to leave the Project. One would create a New Sequence, and then just Copy/Paste the desired footage into that. Export from that New Sequence, in TIFF Sequence. [Note: for PrE users, the only way would be with separate Projects. PrPro makes it easier with Sequences.]

                   

                  Good luck,
