Mark, is this one off or do you want to write a stack that does this repeatedly? Is it ok to use apple script, i.e. Mac only? What system version do you use? Do you have Quicktime Pro? this is a little applescript that assumes your quicktime movie does only have one track and that is the movie. It makes a selection in that movie and copies the selection to a new document. Than it deletes all the frames except every fifth. If you have Quicktime Pro you can export these frames as image sequence manually. If you don't have Quicktime Pro I can see if I can provide you with a preset file for exporting the images. You dont need the Pro license to script and export from Quicktime Player. Of course you can do all this from within Rev and take the selection of the movie you manually make and send it as applescript to the Quicktime Player, which opens the movie, selects what you have selected in Rev and does the export. It is just a little more scripting. If you want to go Jaque's way of exporting snapshots you have to make assumptions about the framerate. Rev only gives you the duration and the timescale. Usually quicktime movies have a timescale of 600, but not necessarily so. At a timescale of 600 a duration of 1200 is 2 seconds worth of movie. At a framerate of 25 that would be 50 frames. A single frame would have the duration of 24. At a framerate of 30/sec the duration of an individual frame would be 20. So assume you have a framerate of 30 you would advance your currenttime by 30 to go to the next frame, or by 150 to advance by 5 frames. here is the applescript ------------------------------ set tStart to 866 set tEnd to 1081
tell application "QuickTime Player" set tName to name of document 1 tell document tName set the selection start to tStart set the selection end to tEnd copy end tell set tSelectionDocName to "mySelection" make new document paste document 1 set tSelectionDocName to name of document 1 set tNoOfFrames to the number of frames of track 1 of document tSelectionDocName repeat if tNoOfFrames = 0 then exit repeat if tNoOfFrames mod 5 ≠ 0 then delete frame tNoOfFrames of track 1 of document tSelectionDocName set tNoOfFrames to tNoOfFrames - 1 end repeat end tell ---------------------------- it also assumes that the movie you are interested in is the frontmost in Quicktime Player. regards Bernd -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/OT-Exporting-movie-clip-to-stills-tp2069329p2073838.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
