Picture Sequence Properties

In the Media Pool click on category Videos. The list displayed provides a lot of information about the corresponding files. The actual properties dialog can be opened by right-clicking the picture sequence and selecting Properties. Picture sequences can be distinguished from videos by the corresponding symbol.

Here you can define the properties to take effect on all video objects in the timeline linked up with it:

General

Frames/s ...is usually defined when the images are first added to the Media Pool. The frame rate can only be changed if the picture sequence has not yet been added to the timeline as an object. Alternatively, the frame rate can also be influenced by pitching. See Stretching or compressing an object.

Attention: Currently the frame rate can only be changed via Pitch.

Picture sequence has alpha channel ...check this box if the alpha channel of the pictures is to be evaluated.

Create display data automatically ...is enabled by default and ensures that display data are created automatically for video objects in the timeline. If this function is disabled, no display data will be created and a green cross will appear in front of the corresponding file in the Media Pool. The green cross disappears once display data are available. See also Differentiated creation of display data for videos.

Cropping

In order to crop the images of the picture sequence check this box and enter the cropping values for all four sides in pixels.

Please note that output of picture sequences cannot be based on the original data when they are presented from the timeline but require a presentation based on intermediate video data. Important restriction: For presentation resolutions of UHD or 4k no Intermediate video data should be used as they offer lower performance than modern codecs, such as H.264, H.265 or WVM. These codecs can use multi-core processors much more efficiently.
Media Pool column Intermediate video data shows the properties of the intermediate video data. The first letter stands for the quality, the second for seeking and other parameters refer to the resolution. In example Q3P2 (1280 x 720) refers to a quality of "normal", seeking of "medium" and a video image size of 1280 x 720 pixels.
