Final Cut Pro – Working with long image sequences

TIp Jar

It is a seriously bad idea to load very long image sequences into FCP. The frames get loaded into RAM which can fill up quickly. This means if you are using thousands of images, it is very easy to bring your system to it’s knees.

Instead, open a long image sequence in QuickTime Pro, then save it as a QuickTime movie. Set the codec to either QuickTime Animation or match the codec you plan to use for your Final Cut Pro sequence.
