Hi bitbyter -
I'm a bit confused about why you want to do that (make an image sequence from a 360° video), but I'm sure you have good reasons.
There are a couple of things in the way of achieving it in PDR:
- The Image Sequence production option isn't available for 360° projects (i.e. 360° view would be lost)
- There's no option to customise profiles for Image Sequences, apart from selecting from the available options
- The produced image sequence wouldn't be 5760x2880 (2:1 equirectangular)
As you say, the process of extracting frames is laborious. Full sized snapshots (5760x2880) could be taken in the Media Library rather than the timeline, but that results in 360° photos... which then creates a complication for setting up a non-360 image sequence.
There probably is a more efficient way of doing what you want to do, but it may require resources outside PDR.
Cheers - Tony
P.S. I'm glad the Profile.ini editing info has helped you. I'm also glad I was able to learn that from other forum members at the time.
