Assembling Individual Frames<br />
Some applications, most notably 3D animation software, often save the<br />
resulting frames as individual image files. This may also be the case when<br />
scanning images frame by frame from film. Such a sequence of images must<br />
be converted into a QuickTime movie, with the appropriate frame rate, before<br />
it can be incorporated into <strong>WATCHOUT</strong>. This can be done using, for example,<br />
Adobe After Effects or Media Cleaner Pro.<br />
The individual images must be saved as files all ending in a frame number.<br />
Under Windows, this number precedes the file name extension; eg,<br />
File000.bmp, File001.bmp, File003.bmp, etc. Under MacOS, file extensions<br />
are typically not required.<br />
Assembling using Adobe After Effects. To assemble a movie from still<br />
images using Adobe After Effects, choose “Import, Footage File” on the File<br />
menu, select the first file in the sequence, and select the “ Sequence”<br />
checkbox. The desired frame rate can be specified in Preferences prior to<br />
importing the images, or can be altered at any time by choosing “Interpret<br />
Footage, Main” on the File menu.<br />
Assembling using Media Cleaner Pro. Using Media Cleaner, choose<br />
“Open Image Sequence” on the File menu and locate the first image in the<br />
sequence. Media Cleaner will prompt you for the desired frame rate.<br />
