Hi,
I tried different solution to create movies from Gem generated tif sequences. The simplest way i found is based on use of the "transcode" command line program.

I would like to share my notes, some command line, to help (maybe) others.



Encode with "transcode" (a linux commandline tool) a tif sequence generated from GEM [pix_write]

1) set pix_write to put all tif (max quality) in a folder and start record

|file ./myfolder/mybasename 00(
|
[pix_write]

2) close pd
3) open a terminal, cd in the folder and create a textfile with the list of tif

cd myfolder
find . -type f -name '*.tif' | sort > filelist

4) encode with "transcode": some setting:

- using ffmpeg with mjpeg compression (loss result)

transcode --use_rgb -i filelist -y ffmpeg=RGB,null -F mjpeg -o od_ffmpeg_mjpeg_25fk.mov --export_fps 25,3 -z -g 720x576 -x imlist=RGB,null --hard_fps -k

- using the same compression invoking quicktime for linux (same result)

transcode -i filelist -y mov=RGB,null -F ffmpeg_mjpg -o od_mov_ffmpeg_mjpg.mov --export_fps 25,3 -g 720x576 -x imlist=RGB,null --hard_fps --use_rgb

- the same but dv compression (better result)

transcode -i filelist -y mov=RGB,null -F ffmpeg_dv_pal -o od_mov_ffmpeg_pal.mov --export_fps 25,3 -g 720x576 -x imlist=RGB,null --hard_fps --use_rgb

- compression dv (no ffmpeg)

transcode -i filelist -y mov=RGB,null -F dv_pal -o od_mov_dv_pal.mov --export_fps 25,3 -g 720x576 -x imlist=RGB,null --hard_fps --use_rgb

- compressiond dv (without qt)

transcode -i filelist -y dv=RGB,null -o od_dv.mov --export_fps 25,3 -g 720x576 -x imlist=RGB,null --hard_fps --use_rgb

- xvid compression (default xvid settings)

transcode -i filelist -y xvid4=RGB,null -o od_xvid.mov --export_fps 25,3 -g 720x576 -x imlist=RGB,null --hard_fps --use_rgb -k


Note: some command line require the -k option that swap the rgb value, some others require the -z option that flip the result


hope help
