To convert a cine clip into a sequence of images (frames)
you must add one of the following annotations to the
end of the file name: ‘!n’ or ‘+n (where n is the number
between 1 to 8). This will assign the sequential frame
numbers to the file name for each frame being created.
Example: image_!5.tif
The ‘!’ annotator instructs the software to append
the cine’s image number (relative to the trigger point) to
the file name. If the first frame in the clip is - 100, then
the first converted frame will have the name:
image_-00100.tif.
The ‘+’ annotator will add frame numbers starting from 1.
Example: 5.tif
This will cause the first converted frame to have the name:
image_00001.tif
Ensure all image adjustments have been applied
prior to initiating the conversion process. All
metadata (gain, gamma, saturation, etc.) will be
embedded into the converted images.
The ‘Batch Convert Files’ toolbar button can be used to

you wish to convert in the ‘Open Cine’ dialogue window,
