Exporting Image Sequences
You can export numbered image sequences in various formats using the Export Using
QuickTime Conversion command. If you want to export just a part of a clip or a
sequence, you can do so by setting In and Out points before exporting.
To export a numbered image sequence:
1 Select a clip or sequence in the Browser or open a sequence in the Timeline.
2 Do one of the following:
 To export the entire clip or sequence, clear all In and Out points.
 To export part of the sequence or clip, set In and Out points.
For more information about In and Out points, see Chapter 23, “ Setting Edit Points
for Clips and Sequences ,” on page 313.
3 Choose File > Export > Using QuickTime Conversion.
Choose a format.
Click here to set additional
options, if available.
