You are fantastic Izzy. This is going to be a great addition to my vacation movies. Especially some of my old 8mm & Super 8mm I'm transferring to digital now. Once again, thanks Izzy for all the tips and great help you've given over the past few years since I became a member.
I recently found some old video tapes of a past family holiday and I'm going to edit them together into a movie, this will be perfect to make a short transition clip every time we move to a different place so many thanks Izzy.
Thanks for another great video. Yet another option, for those who do not have either Motion or Compressor, is just to use Quicktime Player. In Catalina, it regained the capability to import an image sequence.
Excellent recommendation! :) The process using Quicktime Player in case someone else is reading this comment: 1) Open Quicktime Player and close the File Browser window that automatically opens 2) File Menu > Open Image Sequence 3) Navigate to the folder that contains the frames with the Image Sequence and click "Choose Media" 4) Select the settings you want, such as Actual Size, 60 frames per second, and Encode for Higher Quality (ProRes, this is an important choice for Final Cut Pro) 5) Then Quicktime Player will create the clip. After that, File Menu > Save... And save the new ProRes Clip to your drive for import into Final Cut Pro The real advantage to using Quicktime Player is that it's free and on every Mac, so if someone doesn't have Compressor or Motion (or another tool that can create a ProRes clip from an Image Sequence), it's definitely the best tool. Why didn't I recommend it in the video? The answer is simple: I didn't know that it could handle image sequences! I've been using Compressor to do this for years, so I'm happy to hear that Quicktime Player can do it too. Thanks for letting me know. :)
@@izzyvideo Because this does not work under Mojave, I have opened the HD generated file in VLC player and then converted into MP4. This can then be seen with QuickTime and FileMaker Pro.
Nice tip. I've been exporting to H.264, but then taking that file and using VLC to convert. Basically same process. What i like about this is that it's a smoother way to get GE Studio animations since the image sequence is the only way to do it with that. There isn't a video export option. At least not the last time I used it.
Hi Izzy and all, I am trying to do this but my import into compressor slowed down to near zero. Google Earth Pro output 9700 frames. Is there a practical limit on how many frames to import at once. I have iMac 27 (2018) with 40 gig RAM and plenty of free space on drive. Running 11.2.3. Any ideas?
Just letting you know that you can just export the video right out of Google Earth pro. Not sure why it's not working for you. I export videos all the time and works fine importing footage into final cut. So much faster too.
Yeah I don't know why it didn't work for me (or the person who originally asked me about it. It didn't work for him either.) But anyway, the good news is that at least the image sequence method produces high quality results. :)
Dude… two words for you: *_Quicktime Player_* ! Use it and you can save yourself _aaaaaalll_ this convoluted, superfluous clicking and switching around! Two clicks… DONE.
Yes, another commenter suggested Quicktime Player too, and it's an excellent choice.

After that, File Menu > Save... And save the new ProRes Clip to your drive for import into Final Cut Pro I don't think it's any less clicks, but the real advantage to using Quicktime Player is that it's free and on every Mac, so if someone doesn't have Compressor or Motion (or another tool that can create a ProRes clip from an Image Sequence), it's definitely the best tool. Anyway, thanks for the comment! :)
Really clear and useful

Great idea! :)
So cool - and very well done tutorial. Thank you!
Genius Izzy!!! Never knew this. TY!
Fantastic! This was exactly what I was looking for! Motion definitely makes this easy! I appreciate you posting this! You have a new subscriber.
Wow, Izzy this is sooooo good. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Haha, thanks! :)
