Image sequence to video clip in Shotcut | Shotcut Tutorial

[@playalots]

Oh my god! I was trying to figure this out for hours. I had 265 frames for a pixel animation project and I did NOT want to manually adjust each and everyone of them for just 'half a second. You are a life saver. Muchas gracias!!

[@Graphicious]

Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!

[@speedymarshall2343]

woww much easier than I expected and super useful, thanks!

Super useful! Exactly what I'm trying to do: export an animation image sequence in shortcut. Thanks for making this video!😁👍

[@Graphicious]

You're very welcome!

What if the images are not numbered in sequence, like first image is 1 but second image is 4? do we need to number them sequenceally ? if so how do we do that

[@Graphicious]

If you have images that are not in exact order, with gaps, you can rename them using the tool I demonstrate in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4m1iq2Qpr1_g7c - that's free, and it's a multi-rename tool that will help you re-number the files so they are in sequence.

[@abd8114]

@@Graphicious thanks a lot 👍

[@n0icemate861]

I do everything like in video, but the first picture is stuck just in 00:00:00:01 and timeline just contains just that one pic

[@Graphicious]

You can try to see if you have gaps in the filenames or the filename structure isn't supported - clearly indicating a number at the end, with correct padding so that the software knows they are in a sequence and can determine what the next one is.

[@ricedanan]

That was easier than I expected...

[@ottawak2974]

It actually doesn't work for me, whenever I tick the image equence box it doesn't add the rest of the images. (All images are in the same folder as they should be)

[@Graphicious]

Are they numbered in order?

[@schneekers7906]

After I clicked on "Image sequence", I pressed the play bar and it looked a little bit choppy. How do I change the framerate?

[@Graphicious]

I think you have to change the framerate for the entire project/sequence/timeline

[@lostinthewoods1267]

@@Graphicious How exactly do you do that?

[@pradyumnam7451]

Can we create 60fps video using these frames. Please answer me

[@Graphicious]

Yes, you can change how many images per frame in an image sequence. Since you can't apply speed controls to an image sequence the same way you do on a video clip, you have to use the properties panel to change this. Maybe this discussion helps: forum.shotcut.org/t/how-to-control-the-speed-of-an-image-sequence/10455

[@himprass9417]

how or where can i make my logo have the sequence images or the animation

[@Graphicious]

That depends on the type of animation you want. You can design it frame by frame in a graphics program (such as Xara, Adobe Animate) or animate it in some 3D software like Blender, Cinema 4D, etc.

[@himprass9417]

@@Graphicious so there is no web site to do such a thing just by giving your logo .... it my be hard but good idea for web developer haha .... thanks for the reply

[@Graphicious]

There are lots of them out there but you never know what options you have. You can try Adobe Spark: www.adobe.com/express/create/logo/animated Others are available but they usually work based on templates, already-built animations.

[@PapaP86]

Problem I'm having is controlling the speed or video FPS... I do not see a way to adjust it. Messing with the "Duration" settings in the properties just "crops" the video and cuts everything off past the duration you specify.

[@Graphicious]

Have you tried changing the framerate of the sequence?

[@PapaP86]

@@Graphicious I had to change the framerate that was set for the project itself. A little unintuitive. That's really my main problem with Shotcut. Other editors doing simple things is much easier to do and figure out. With Shotcut, it seems you have to dig into online resources to do the simplest things.

[@basedcabba]

Okay but is there a way to export a video as a sequence of images. I want to create a custom green screen and I will literally animate frame by frame if I have too but I can't even apparently find how to do that

[@Graphicious]

Yes, there is! I just published a video on this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/np7YhXqjo9Cqo7c

[@peachpng-2313]

hi! my picture is portrait, but when i opened the file the preview is automatically landscape. it stays landscape when i export it, too. is there any way i can make the resolution portrait, specifically 1125x2000? thanks

[@Graphicious]

You have to change the project's resolution if you want to do that. If you look in the first seconds of the video, the 'New project' window shows. That's where you change it before you start.

[@Christian.....]

Can you export the animation as a clip with transperent background?

[@crico3108]

Not from Shotcut. Only from AfterEffects

[@Christian.....]

@@crico3108 :-( Thank you for the instant response

[@Graphicious]

Yeah some people say you can export from Shotcut with alpha but I tried several ways and I couldn't pull it off. Maybe in future versions,

[@TheAmateurKritik]

hello, unfortunately I have tried everything in this video but it is not working. I have a 6 minute video that i split into about 23000+ images sequence to upscale in gigapixel. After upscaling them I am tried importing them back into shotcut and merging them back into a video, it is not working. My image sequence is a .jpg type not a .png type, I don't know if that is the reason or if it is because my image sequence is too long..

[@Graphicious]

It could be too long. Try a shorter sequence first, see if that works. JPG should work too, not just PNG. Also, make sure the filenames are in order and there are no gaps, because if you have gaps, it will not be able to figure out which file is next.

[@Asylar343]

I'm trying to import an image sequence of exr files and i'm not seeing the sequence checkbox at all...

[@Graphicious]

Hmm, I don't know if they are supported. I thought you needed a plugin for that, even earlier versions of the Adobe software: www.fnordware.com/ProEXR

[@Asylar343]

@@Graphicious the image itself shows in shotcut but the properties page is completely different, it does say something about converting.

[@eviuze6259]

@@Asylar343 I have the same problem right now, did you manage to fix it?

[@Asylar343]

@@eviuze6259 Was 3+ months ago so I can't remember for sure but I think this might have been because my files had the wrong name to them. Something like "name.ext.#" as opposed to the proper "name_#.ext". My computer was basically reading the file types as 0001-etc instead .exr for the image sequence. At some point while fixing the names I converted them to .pngs and that works now

[@eviuze6259]

@@Asylar343 Currently converting them to PNG. It's gonna take time but it's better then rendering again. Probably did the same mistake lol thank you for the answer tho

[@shsechas]

Thanks for showing us all this tip. If you are going to do this more then once or twice with that many clips. I would advise getting a separate logo maker program or gif maker program. BTW - it was explained very well. Thanks again.

Where is a good place to find animations that are free or not too expensive?

[@Graphicious]

For Shotcut? I don't know if there is such a place, most people probably build themselves. What are you looking for, like titles, lower thirds, intros, that kind of thing?

[@MAXGAMERZ90]

My life saver tip. Thank you so much i was using chatGPT and it is saying directly that i will found the image sequence on import screen

Glad I could help. It was probably referring to the Adobe Premiere checkbox to import a sequence of images.

Have you checked that it's actually a sequence, and not a still frame? Maybe you have missing frames. Check it in the preview.
