I am a Blender rookie teaching myself how to use Blender. I am posting my animations on this channels for people to see and critique.
Helpful, thanks. Note that compression with PNG here is lossless, so the default 15% doesn't lose any quality, it simply determines a tradeoff between filesize and performance.
Yeah, you are correct.
This tutorial is SOOOO useful!! Thank you so much for explaining this! It's not obvious at all, but you go through it in a way that is easy to follow! You rock!
Cool beans. Glad I could help.
2 years late, but thank you! I'm learning 2D animation and am starting a big project. I'm turning an ending animation from a video game and reanimating it in 2D with the intent of making it more photosensitive friendly for an epileptic friend. I turned all 2000 (I'm crying, that's so many. And that's AFTER trimming all I could off the video) frames into individual images to use as references to make it as accurate to the real experience as possible. I remember I did this sequencing once in an animation class, but I forgot how, so thank you so much for this tutorial. Surprisingly enough, the file of images is only 2.58 gb big. I was expecting much worse XD
The ending animation is ARK Survival Evolved Aberration ascension scene, if you wanna know :) It's a very pretty scene, but very flashy, my friend loved the game and I want her to finally see the ending.
Cool beans. Glad I could help.
My hats to you sir this project is cracked ! Should subscribe
You're a lifesaver! I'm no longer used to Blender and I still managed to follow your tutorial! Very well done.
Glad I could help!
Dude, thank you so much. This saved me a lot of work!
You are welcome.
can I export the sequence of drawing that I made in Photoshop(Jpeg and Png format) Blender to make it a video?
Yes. I thought I had a tutorial on that but I don't. I have one that shows how to turn a video into individual images.
Give me about an hour and I will upload a tut for you on how to combine image sequences into a video.
Here's the tut I just uploaded. th-cam.com/video/Bgab9VC_laQ/w-d-xo.html
Thanks man. Don't have any Adobe programs and already have Blender installed. So this saved some time. Thanks!!!
You are welcome. I also don't use any Adobe. I can't get past their rentware policy.
Took me so long to find this video. It helped so much and now i don't have to spend money on other software's like adobe! 👌👌
Yeah, free is me.
Very very usefull, saved me hours of searching
Glad it was helpful.
It also ends up using less ram when doing a camera tracking if you use images as opposed to a video.
True
Mandale Cheff, la sopa sta BUONISSIMA!
Thank u that's really help me brotha
You are welcome.
i should have realized it was this easy
thanks
It's easy but at the same time not obvious.
Straight to the point. Thank you!
You are welcome.
Thanks for the help, always amazed at the amount of tools blender has.
You are welcome.
Man, you're life savior! I really needed this video. Thanks for the help!
Glad it helped!
thank you, it was clear and fast, thank you to share it for us
You are welcome.
hey, nice video, helped me a lot but when i adjust the resolution to UHD (3840 x 2160) the frame still renders just as FHD and there is a big transparent frame around it. Can anyone relate or help me?!
I am aware of this issue and it started with one of the recent versions of blender. To get it to output correctly, you need to close blender, open blender and then set the resolution before adding the image sequence. Adding the image sequence after setting the resolution should solve this glitch.
This is what i looking for, thanks sir
You are welcome.
Thanks a lot. Now I just got hundreds of small .mov files to convert XD
Glad I could help!
Thanks man good vid very happy
No problem 👍
I used the 2.92 version and I can't see the render window near the sequencer but in another one, but the procedure gone fine. Thanks for the tutorial
If the render window is opening up in a whole new window, you go here to stop that. i.ibb.co/7nPtcG3/Capture.jpg
@@BlenderRookie thanks ❤️
good video, but you have to read up on the specifics of different file formats when giving people advice on when to select something other than the default on things like compression. .png is a lossless compressing format, no information will be lost, when using higher compression levels on lossless formats. All it does is that it significatly increases the runtime at image generation due to the programm searching longer for the optimal way to encode the information on the least space. This in some cases can increase runtime minimally when opening the resulting image, but will not lose any information as formats like .jpg will. When configuring the export like you did the resulting image will just be larger for no real benefit, drastically increasing loading times when posting these images online.
You are correct. 4 years ago though.
@@BlenderRookie I know, but I found the video through a search engine, others will as well.
Thank you
You're welcome
If the video hold gps information. Does this process retain those details? Do you know?
No, it would not retain that information.
Thanks
really really clear and smooth thank you
You're welcome!
Great video man!
Glad you found it useful.
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
thanks man helps me a lot
Glad it was helpful.
this is really use full, but I put a portrait video captured from my mobile, when I render all the sequences are rotated how it fix?
That's caused by a metadata issue. One part of the metadata in the video is saying I am a portrait and another part is saying I am landscape. Blender happens to be seeing the tag that says it's landscape.
I am pretty sure it's a simple thing to fix. But I don't know the solution right off hand. When I get back home I will see if I can figure out an easy fix and then reply again. The only thing I can think of in the moment would be to use a video editor to rotate the video and put that into blender.
I tried this and it works. i.ibb.co/HXJmFdx/Screenshot-2024-03-26-091250.jpg
1)Add the clip as usual
2)select the top half
3)press N to bring out side panel
4)set the rotation to either -90 or 90 whichever is correct
5)set the output dimension that reflect the desired orientation.
youre a legend
Bruh that intro tho😄
Everyone always ragging on my fish intro.
Super helpful tutorial, saved my grade lol thank you sm!!
You're welcome!!
Super! Thank you so much!
Welcome!
that was extremely helpful, thanks
Glad it helped!
Quick and to the point. very helpful. Thank you.
You're welcome!
Thank you for your tutorial, it was clear and concise. I do have one problem though. The video clip I used is only 32 seconds long, 24fps, and is only about 1.4 mb. When I extracted the images/frames, each image was over 1-2 mb resulting to a of file of image sequence being several gigabytes in size even though the original video clip I used was just 1.4 mb and the images/frames themselves did not really increase in quality either. Is there a way to fix this? As in, is there a way to extract the image sequence at a much, much smaller size?
It's impossible to make the quality better in this way, no matter how much data it needs, it will not make the quality better than the original.
As to why a frame sequence requires more data than an equivalent video clip, well, that's primarily due to the way video is compressed compared to the way images are compressed. Modern video codecs recycle portions of a previous frame in order to help save space. An example would be a person talking in front of a black background. The video codec can recycle all the black background and the only things that change are the person and the person represents all the new information, thus drastically lowering the amount of data required for each frame. But an image is just an image and there is no recycling of data because the image is just a standalone image.
There are image compression formats like compressed PNG, JPG or JPEG. They will lower the data required to save an image but they are limited in their effectiveness and all of them other than the compressed PNG will actually lower the image quality.
Video codecs such as MP4 with an h264 compression algorithm will use a combination of compression types. They will recycle/reuse information from a previous frame and compress each frame in addition to that. As a result, video files have become very efficient.
@@BlenderRookie Wow, thank you for answering rather quickly and thoroughly too.
I see, so basically there's no way around this huh. Welp, better clear some space then. The reason I needed the images in a much lower size is because I'm gonna individually upscale them to create an upscaled video (I use Blender and an upscale software) and I'm worried the file size might actually increase way, waaay more.
Anyway, thank you for answering my question. I greatly appreciate it.
@@al6243 You are welcome.
Thank you so much!
You are welcome.
Thanks brother ❤❤
You are welcome.
Thanks mister.
You are welcome.
But how do you include multiple photos, without turning them into videos?????
Isn't there a way to do that???
I have no idea what you mean.
Okay, absolute beginner here. How do you 'shrink down' the video docker thing? It sounds like you used a keyboard shortcut so we didn't see what you did.
Mouse over the window and use the scroll wheel.
You can also mouse over and press the + or - keyboard key next to the number pad.
@@BlenderRookie Do you know what I could use if I'm on a laptop and don't have a mouse or number pad? Thanks.
@@moseyonover733 I don't know off hand. Give me about 15 minutes to do some research.
@@moseyonover733 Okay, you need to enable "emulate 3 button mouse" as see here i.ibb.co/R6fBk5w/Capture.jpg
Once that is done, then you can hold down CTRL and ALT keys while left clicking and touchpad up or down.
That seems to be the only solution that will work on a laptop with a touchpad.
thanks for the post! Any tips on exporting as exr?
You could output them as exr but they would not have lighting information because the video doesn't have lighting information.
But just change it from jpg to exr i.ibb.co/0BnL4hW/Capture.jpg
thank you so much man
Glad it was helpful.
Thanks!
Cool beans. You are welcome.
BTW, is that a tip? If so, that's my first one ever. Thank you.
Thanks I will save this video and use it regularly until it sticks! 😂
Glad it was helpful.
when i tried to import it to movie clip editing, it only render one image and the rest of the frame says failed to load......
help plz :)
You need to click "render animation" and not "render image". You also need to make sure you set the frame range correctly. If it still isn't working, then the video file may be missing some header information and may be broken.
Can we export a video as an image while skipping some frames and still getting the output, File name in ascending order
Do you mean as is extract every other frame or every 5th frame? If so you do that right here. i.ibb.co/RSrHKcW/Capture.jpg
@@BlenderRookie Ya I did like this but the rendered files are including the frame number also, this breaking the sequence
eg; like the picture you showed me if I set step to 5 , then rendered frames will be like" 1.png, 6.png,11.png ...." What I am trying to ask is that is there any way to make it "1.png,2.png,3.png..."
Like numbering it properly without any breaks
@@SaloSojaEdwin There's no way to name them 1,2,3,4 in Blender if you skip. But you can use a batch renaming program to rename them. I use Free Commander. It's kinda like the Windows built in file manager but also has renaming tools.
@@BlenderRookie Ohk,thx a lot😀
@@SaloSojaEdwin You are welcome.
thanks it works
Glad it helped.
Thanks so much for the video! Quick question: So I'm an artist and I only want about 30 frames from a 5-second video, not 157. How would extract only 30 of the "main" frames out of the entire video (like the very basic movements of the entire thing if that makes any sense)
Just set the frame start and end point to match the section you want. Scrll through the video to the beginning and set that as your frame start point and the same with the end point. You set these manually.
@@BlenderRookie thank you!
I tried this with a longer video and only extracted the first 2000 frames. About 25% of the frames were skipped and replaced by a duplicate of the previous frame, any ideas? Thanks.
That's caused by a frame rate conflict. Make sure you set the frame rate in blender to the exact frame rate of the video. If that doesn't help, then the video itself has duplicate frames.
@@BlenderRookie Yeah the I checked the original video properties and matched the blender framerate to that (24 fps). I also looked at the original file and noticed that some frames in the video were missing from the render. So it's not the video file either.
@@alexwisecup4167 Do you have handbrake? If so, open the file in it and right click on the video and select properties. Sometimes the frame rates are not read correctly by windows or blender.
@@BlenderRookie I'll try that, thanks!
@@alexwisecup4167 Unfortunately if that doesn't work, then I don't have any other ideas.
Thanks teacher
LOL You are welcome.
thankyou
You are welcome.
Thanks!!!!!!!!
You are welcome.

Or you can just use VirtualDub with ffmpeg...
vdub is glitchy or at least it has been when I tried to use it. I have vdub and I use it for one thing, video stabilization. It does that good.
@@BlenderRookie I haven't encountered a single error for the last 2 years or so of my use. I like how the window updates while dragging the slider for frame selection as it helps in setting accurate start and end position markers while extracting a section instead of the entire video. Haven't figure out how to do that in Blender or most other free tools (like ffmpeg/VLC command line options) where the start and end frame nos are not known before hand. Also I find its interface more focused and intuitive than Blender but thats just my personal preference.
@@MrinalKantiM I use Blender all the time but I do not use it as a video editor. I tried but it's a very clumsy video editor. But it does work good for compiling frames into a video. For video editing, I went the dark side and purchased software. LOL Years ago I pirated PowerDirector 10 and I liked it so much that I ended up buying a legit copy of PD 14 and have been using it ever since.
I'm just getting into blender. But my idea is to put 2d images on top of video. Any workflow suggestions?
I'm not sure what you mean. I assume you mean like Picture in Picture style. If so that would be done with the compositor. But I have never needed to use Blender in that way so I don't know how that would be done off hand.
@@BlenderRookie Hey, thanks for the fast reply! I mean for example, i have a video in Davinci Resolve, but I want to replace a person in a video clip with a cartoon character that i design in blender (in 2d). I was thinking about importing the video into blender (only for reference) just to draw the cartoon over the character. Then delete the reference video, leaving only a the cartoon character w. a green-screen background. Then editing the character into the final video in Davinci. I'm thinking of like a 2D version of Ted from the movie Ted. Any advice regarding the logistics or the approach would be greatly appreciated!
@@khrazza Oh, that's super easy. Just open Blender, press 1 to go into front view, press 5 to go into orthographic view and then drag and drop the video into blender. Very simple.
@@BlenderRookie 1 and 5 don't do anything when i open blender. Should i be in 2D Animation or General? (1 and 5 buttons don't work in either)
@@khrazza 1 just puts it into front side view and 5 into orthographic. I say do that first that way your view is aligned. But make sure the splash screen isn't showing and make sure your mouse pointer is over the viewport window.
Who's here to make animated textures for osu! or Minecraft?
LOL I don't know the first thing about minecraft. I have never played it.
this is some peasant joke. after googeling the symptoms it had to be advanced settings that needed to be disabled. Just like this video, but smart
Thank you
