Hi again…thanks for taking the time to reply. Now…
Use the program Virtualdub, or something like it to save
your avi file as a sequence of bmp files. Each bmp file will be a frame of the avi file.
Yes…silly me, the "save as a sequence" command was there..I’m blind!!
Open one of the files in Photoshop. Go to the actions menu and create an action that does what you want.
Yes..I did this.
Open the automate submenu on the file menu and choose
the action you just created to make a droplet. Save the
droplet in the folder above where the bmp files are. Go to the folder where the droplet is and drag the folder with the bmp files in it onto the droplet which will be an .exe file.
Yes, I did this too. The files opened up in Photoshop and were processed according to the PS action.
The resulting files can be opened in Virtualdub and saved as an avi file. :
Here’s where I’m confused. The processed bmp files are not (?) able to be opened up in Virtualdub as a group. I clicked on each bmp file and opened it up (file type in the save box=bmp) individually, thinking they would be then joined as an avi. Do you mean I should open each bmp in Virtualdub…save each as an avi file and then reassemble them (ie save as an avi movie)?
The avi files can be saved as bmp and reassembled
Why save again as bmp?
in Media Studio Pro and probably others.
I found a free program called "aviedit" that allows bmp files to be loaded and then exported as an avi movie file.
Hope all this makes sense…again i thank you for all your help. Cheers,
Paul
