About the Image Sequence Encoder Pane

This section contains detailed information about the elements of the Image Sequence
Encoder pane in the Inspector window. You make your image sequence settings using
this pane, by either modifying an existing setting or creating a new setting in the Settings
tab.

Choose Image Sequence.
Choose either the TIFF
or TARGA image type.
Choose a frame rate
from the Frame Rate
pop-up menu or click
the Automatic button.

The Image Sequence Encoder pane contains the following items to help you create your
image sequence output files:

File Extension: This field displays the TIFF file extension (.tiff ) automatically after the

Image Sequence output format is selected from the File Format pop-up menu or the
(+) pop-up menu in the Settings tab. Don’t alter this field. You can change the output
format with the Image Type pop-up menu. This field will update automatically with
your choice of output format.

Allow Job Segmenting: This checkbox allows you to turn off job segmenting. It is relevant

only if you are using Compressor with distributed processing and with multi-pass
encoding. (The distributed processing feature is limited to computers that have
Final Cut Studio installed.) For more information, see

Job Segmenting and Two-Pass or

Multi-Pass Encoding

.

Image Type: Use this pop-up menu to choose one of the six image sequence types for

the output media. For descriptions of these output types, see
