Hi Alan -

The short answer is yes. There are different ways to go about it.

This little tutorial shows how - http://youtu.be/NW9-c-jINBY

In loading (copying) the images from the sequence file, Power Director stopped and said it exceeded the 2,500 limit of images. Any way around this?

Alan

Ah - 2500+ images?

No - to my knowledge there's no way around that limitation in PD.

You could produce the video in smaller segments then combine the pre-produced files. That's the best I could suggest.

That sure makes the project longer.

Not trying to be a movie pro just want to get these home movies converted in a decent production.

Oh Well!!

Does your film capture device have software that will produce a Movie instead of numbered image sequence files?

You can still produce a movie for the numbered images, but Powerdirector has the limit of 2,500 images at a time.

It does not have that same limit for Movies. Movies can be any length and up to 4K resolution.

Have you ever told the forum what machine and what software?

Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.

Yes.

The scanner can scan at 1:1, (Numbered Image Sequences) in jpeg and other formats), 720p, 1080p, and you can export it out as a .MOV file with image sequence or not, HD or SD.

I figure the best quality whcih is reasonable is 1:1, 1080P (might change that to 720P), and export as a .MOV file. Now, I am told that this is not as good quality as exporting in the Image Sequence format - but we may not be able to tell the difference.

What a learning exp;erience.

It was easier to build a super computer than to figure all of this out!

I will have to experiment somemore.

Thanks for all your support.
