Video Batch import

[paul beumer]

Hi... Love this software... have a question ... is it possible to batch process video's overnight? Does it need another xml input?

[Andrea Alessi]

Hi Paul,

thank you for your kind words!

Do you mean the frame extraction from videos? That is not batchable unfortunately yet.

Thanks for your reply Andrea :-)
Looking forward to future updates ...

One more question... Could it work to extract multiple frames in .e.g adobe premiere as well? Or is 3DF processing some magic behind the scenes while extracting the frames?
For shure the adobe approach would not produce exif data, but these could be added later...
Is it recommendable?

video stream extracted frames from zephyr have no exif data as well, however in the frames extraction dialog you will notice two options

- you can automatically discard frames that are too similar to each other (think of a camera that stops for 5-6 seconds, you were to extract 1fps, you'd have 6 duplicated frames)

- you can automatically discard frames that suffer a lot from motion blur

There are no issues in doing frame extraction in other software (just make sure however that you limit to the frame extraction, especially, do not crop or undistort the images outside of zephyr!)
