Video to/from images ?Hi all. I'm looking for some software that can A) extract a series of
individual frames from a video file; and B) combine a series of image files into a video file. For instance, I'd like to take a short WMV file, and extract each frome to a JPG. Conversely, I'd like to take a directory full of JPGs (all same resolution) and combine them to a WMV. Ideally, it will support the major file formats; WMV, MPG, AVI, etc for the video; JPG, PNG, BMP, etc for the images. Can anyone tell me of a decent program (commercial or other) that they know to be capable of doing this, and is reliable and supported? Thx. upintahoe***@yahoo.com wrote:

set span of a video and export the frames to a folder in one of several formats. On the mac side try Final Cut Express. Sorry, sent before finishing. The process works the same in reverse;
the NLE software can import a folder full of sequentially-numbered frames in most still image formats and will lay them ontoa video track for you. The only caution is that the first frames start with enough zeroes. Meaning, first frame of 300 should start with 001, then 002,003, etc. If you start with just a single digit, those frames get placed out of order. On the PC side, Vegas is very popular. nobody special wrote:

If the full version is too rich (i.e. $$$) for you, there's also Vegas Movie Studio. It's somewhat limited in comparison to the full version but it will still do everything you want to do and it's around $100. Mike  |
