Animations to Quick Time Pro

[Anonymous]

Is anyone aware as to the possibility of adding timed pauses to animations in Quick Time Pro?

I am producing scenes in AC, running a flythrough to produce Maxwell mxs files, then rendering the batch to jpegs. I then load the sequence into Quick Time Pro to produce my animation. the problem with this, is that I loose my added frames to pause at certain points in the animation.

I presume I could achieve this in Premier Elements if QTP was not up to the task, but QTP is obviously much easier to use.

The only way I know of is to add images in the sequence. i.e. If you are importing at 5 seconds per frame and you want an image to be "paused" for 20 seconds you will need 4 copies of that image in the sequence.

Yes, I considered that approach. I will give that a try and report back.

Thanks

Adding more frames seems to be the way to go. Did a simple copy paste repetition with the file i wanted to create the pause with, but QTP doesn't recognise these additional files, and so one has to highlight all of the files (in Windows Explorer) in the sequence, right click and rename, to rename the entire sequence and include the duplicates.

Works well.
