how do u make a sequence?


Thanks

[bladesk8runjump]

i think u just make a small movie and take some of the clips and put them together or u take a lot of pics of the trick and put them togeter. that probably didn't make since, but at least i tried lol

You get a decent camera worth over $300 U.S that has a decent motor drive to it and can shoot at least 4 frames per second (FPS) and then you shoot the trick, scan the pictures into your computer and open them in photoshop. You put all the pics in the sequence and then ur done. If you want to cheat and make it easy... do a bunch of videograbs.

whats a video grab? (sorry im kinda sequence and camer illiterate)

[BlindSk8er]

and how do u do a video grab?

[mikejl29]

Videograb is when you just shoot a movie and steal all of the frames you need from the video. Its done in premiere by going to the frame you want on the timeline, then going File | Export | Frame.

im gonna buy premier , but what is the full name so i know what exactly to get?

[mikejl29]

Hmmm.... Adobe Premiere 6.0 (Or you can probably get Premiere 6.5 now) But its going to cost you around $600.

I use a program called "GIF builder" which takes images and turns them into sequences (animated GIF's). This is a Mac application but I know there are Windoze apps that do the same thing.

or you could buy the nikon f5... or a canon EOS model... you'll need a camera that shoots at least 7 or 8 frames per second to be able to shoot decent sequences... it'll prolly cost you at least $1500 for a camera capable of sequences.....

[volume]

or yes you can also do video grabs.... thats what i do because i do have some friends who shoot photos they have nikons but their models are only capable of a few frames per second... so yes video grabs are an alright way to go, however the images are usually grainy and blurry when turned into still shots...

[mikejl29]

Yeah thats true volume. I want an f5 or an EOS 1. I could blow through a whole roll of film for one trick!!!
