How To Create The Png Sequence For Stinger Transition Effect - Datavideo SE-650 Instruction Manual

Note: The Switcher Image Import/Export utility does the conversion from bmp/png/jpg to the .pic
file format. All you need is to give the utility a starting file location and it will give the utility an idea
where to start linking all images up into a sequential animation file.
Importing Clips
Select "Import Clip" will open a file
browser window. Browse to the
directory where your clip files are
saved and then select the file at the
zeroth location, in our example on the
right, the file name is frame-000.png.
Click Open to start the clip import. If
your files are not the .pic format, they
will be automatically converted to .pic
format by the Switcher Image
Import/Export utility first.
After the file conversion, the clip
import will then start. After the import
is complete, the progress dialog will be
automatically closed.
Note: Clip Conversion and Clip Import have progress dialogs that show progress & number of frames
done. These dialogs also have a cancel button which allows the user to cancel the import at any stage.
If the import is cancelled, then the partially imported data will be deleted.
