Image to video batch rendering

Postby Vlad G Pohnert » Tue Jun 27, 2006 1:23 pm

Anyone knows of any piece of software that can do batch rendering from images with a fade in and out (i.e. for title cards in contests...)

I can do them manually each with a template, but it would be nice to automate the process and be able to just dump the images into a directory and have it process into 7 second videos....

You could do it with avisynth i guess. Use Imageloader to load your image, then create a black video, and fade the black video over the image. Then you could load these scripts into virtualdub and batch encode them.
The main issue would be the actual creating of all the avisynth scripts. Maybe you could write a simple program to generate them from the filenames or something.

Another way might be to import them into After Effects and stack them one right after the other (there is some built in function that does this for you, i forget exactly how to access it), then apply a preset to all of the clips to fade in and out. Now export it all as a single AVI. The images would all import at the same length, so you have a linear frame offset to each one. The trick would then be finding something that could split that file at every X frames.

What about using a slide show program to create a video with all the plates. (Ulead makes a couple that will set up a series of pictures with transitions and motion.) Then bring the resulting video into Premiere or whatever to cut-and-place the individual cards.
