HI,

please, can anyone tell me (what software to use) how  to produce PNG pictures for each frame of 60 frames Poser animation. I use Premiere, but it has no export option for what I need. Exporting frames as pictures from Premiere gives them reduced quality. I would like to skip rendering each frame with Firely Render from Poser. It would take me hours to produce 60 PNG pictures.

Thank you!

they may have already answered this in poser forum, but it takes the same amount of time to render an uncompressed video as it does to render a series of uncompressed image files AFAIK.  the advantage to rendering series of image files is that poser may crash during the rendering.  if it crashes during a video render, you have nothing, but if it crashes during an image sequence, at least you have the first few images.

just between you and me, poser is the most crash-prone app I have ever used.  I know some will deny this, but it's just a lame attempt to shift blame from the coders to the user.

The render time should be the same for 60 frames of the same dimensions as still images or as a video.

www.videohelp has a lot of info and links to free tools (and shareware or commercial) 

http://www.videohelp.com/tools/ffmpeg   may do what you want.

Thank you all. Anyway, I have found simple solution by myself. ACDSee Pro2.5!!!
How could I forget about that?! :)
