HI

Are you trying to import a sequence of hundreds or thousands of time lapse still images to create the video?

If not we need more information on what you are trying to do.

Hi

The link you have posted is a long winded way of doing what is a simple job as follows:

Open the Program settings, Video/audio tab and set the Imported image length to 1 frame and close the settings dialog.

Select all images to be imported and drag them to the timeline.

You can then make any necessary adjustments as required.

Thank you. Now if they would simply have an option to import images in sequence, I wouldn't have to worry about forgetting to back into the program settings and change it back again.

Hi Fred.

Does not the camera manufacturer have a free program for stitching stills to video?

DJI offer such a program for their time lapse footage but only deals with either their DNG files or jpegs.

Nikon do a similar package for their cameras.

The frames were from Lightwave 3D which currently has no export-to-video format capability that I can find.

I would like to take a very long single line of text and make it move horizontally from right to left across the screen.

It's called a "Crawl" but these days most people call it a "scroll" or "marquee."

It can be done in HTML: https://www.w3schools.in/html/marquee-tag

Is there such an effect in Movie Studio 2023?

Hi Fred,

You should have started your own thread for this as the OP's question is completely different.

Yes, and it's simply done right in the Title dialogue box. Change the Animation from 'None' to 'From right to left."

If you need it to start right from the left edge of the screen, change the setting under Effect, Movie Effect Settings,

TV cropping tab, set all to 0% or at least the left and right edge settings.

Fred, you can also change the image length when it/they are already on the timeline: select the image/s you want to change, then right-click and choose "Change photo length".

All my forum comments are based on or refer to my System 1.

My struggle is over! I built my (now) system 2 in 2011 when DV was king and MPEG 2 was just coming onto the scene and I needed a more powerful system to cope. Since then we've advanced to MP4 and to bigger and bigger resolutions. I was really suffering, not so much in editing (with proxies) but in encoding, which just took ages. A video, with Neat Video noise reduction applied, would encode at 12% of film speed. My new system 1 does the same job at 160% of film speed. Marvellous. I'm keeping my old system as a capture station for analogue video tapes and DV.
