Choose a format for File Type. Click Compile Settings for the file type you chose (if
available), specify options, and click OK. For the Compile Settings available for
Compuserve GIF, see
“Animated GIF” on page 309
.
4
Click Video, and specify options.
5
Click OK to close the Export Still Frame Settings dialog box.
6
Specify a location and filename, and then click OK.
When you export still images from DV for use in square-pixel graphics or video, you
can prevent distortion by setting the Pixel Aspect Ratio to Square Pixels (1.0) and
setting the Frame Size from 720 x 480 to 648 x 480 pixels.
Exporting clips as still images
You can export a clip or program as a sequence of still images, with each frame as a
separate still-image file. This can be useful to move a clip to animation and three-dimen-
sional applications that do not import video file formats, or for use in animation programs
that require a still-image sequence. When you export a still-image sequence, Adobe
Premiere Pro numbers the files automatically.
To export a series of still images:
1
Choose File > Export > Movie.
2
Click Settings.
3
For File Type, choose a still-image sequence format. If you choose a movie format or
Animate GIF, all the frames will be in one file.
4
Choose the frames to export from the Range menu.
5
Click Video, and specify options.
6
Click Keyframe and Rendering, specify options, and then click OK.
7
Specify a location to which you want to export all of the still-image files. It’s usually best
to specify an empty folder set aside so that the sequence files don’t become mixed with
other files.
8
To set the sequence numbering, type a numbered filename. To specify the number of
digits in the filename, determine how many digits will be required to number the frames,
and then add any additional zeroes you want. For example, if you want to export 20
frames and you want the filename to have five digits, type Car000 for the first filename
(the remaining files will automatically be named Car00001, Car00002, ..., Car00020).
9
Click OK to export the still-image sequence.
Exporting a filmstrip file for editing in Adobe Photoshop
When you want to edit a clip in Adobe Photoshop, you can export to the Filmstrip format,
which was specifically created for this purpose. The Filmstrip format is useful when you
want to paint directly on video frames, a process known as
rotoscoping
.
Adobe After Effects is an even more effective tool for rotoscoping. Using After Effects,
you can paint on frames of video rather than paint a filmstrip file in Adobe Photoshop.
