Working with video shot at 300 frames per second?

Hey y'all, I am working in a day or two with video shot at 300 fps, the camera operates using TIFF files, has its own hard drive from which you load from (I assume)...how does this work in terms of editing in Final Cut 5.1.4? Do I convert to quicktime some how? Can I just load from cam to hard drive? The camera operates like film..each TIFF similar to a frame of film or something like that. Advice always apprieciated cheers..Phil UK

It probably outputs an image sequence, 0001, 0002, 0003 etc.

Easiest way to handle these is to open them in Motion as an image sequence (button with the shaded rectangles on bottom of browser needs to be enabled) Then export as a quicktime a the resolution & framerate of your choice.

I was gonna say use AE if you have it. AE sees & treats TIFF / TARGA sequences as movies so you can quickly render it out as whatever you need.

When life gives you dilemmas...make dilemmanade.

Cheers guys, we shall try it out.

You can even load sequential TIFFS or PSD's into QuickTime Pro to generate an image sequence and export in your favorite codec. I've done it.

Hi Loren, regarding the QT Pro option, can I load the seqs from a drive straight into QT Pro? Is it that simple. I'm just learning AE so Joe's idea is possible but limited due to my lack on Know How...cheers Phil

QT pro handles tiff/targa sequences. Click "open image sequence" and then save that as a qt movie. simple.
