Re: [CinCVS] howto create a sequence/clip out of a single .png?

[Alex Fernandez]

Hi,

i'm sure this has been explained somewhere before:
how can i creat a clip out of a single or several png's created
in gimp?

It is a different procedure.

let's say i have a single image that i want to transform into a clip
of 50 frames.

For a single image, just add it to the clip (you will see that it
takes one frame) and then place the mouse on the right border of the
timeline. You will notice that the cursor turns into an arrow looking
right. Grab the border and push it to the right; increase the length
of the bar to 50 frames.

For a sequence of PNGs, you can add them individually, but you can do
it just importing a PNG sequence. I don't see any good references
online. It is a very silly format with a header and one file per line.
The header is: one line with the constant "PNGLIST", the second line
is the framerate, then width and then length. Finally the list of
images, one per line. Comments start with "#". Like this:
--- example ---
PNGLIST
# frame rate
50.0
# width
768
# height
432
# list of images follows
/home/alex/images/image01
/home/alex/images/image02
/home/alex/images/image03
...
/home/alex/images/image50
--- end of example ---

You can trivially add all of the images in a directory from the console:
 $ ls /home/alex/images/image* >> list.pngs
