Since these work with AVI files, you'll have to save your VV file as an AVI first, then work on that inside the other application. This isn't as elegant as exporting *directly* from Vegas ... but far better than capturing each image frame by frame manually.
if you want to retain an alpha channel, you would have to render from Vegas as an Uncompressed AVI with Alpha and then use some other program to write the AVI as an image sequence as 32 bit TGA's maybe. I know AfterFX can do it, and Premiere probably, but I don't know of any inexpensive programs that can do this correctly... anyone?
Also check out TMPGEnc and VirtualDub. These are some sweeeet piece of powerful freeware. Any videographer that uses a PC should have these, be they hobbyist or be they Pro.
open a new project and insert some text. render a second's worth out as AVI uncompressed.
process it with TMPG and output TGA's
bring the TGA's back into Vegas as an image sequence. drop a solid color on a track underneath so you can see if the alpha channel is working.
you might have to adjust properties of the clip to get the alpha channel to work. if it doesn't work, open one of the files in Photoshop or something and you can look at the channels panel and see if there is an alpha channel in the file.
I'm having the same problem with Sony Vegas Pro 13, there's no "Image Sequence" selection available, no matter what extra options I choose or unselect from the render menu! Still, it seems that rendering an image sequence is an option that should be available in VP13 according to the manual and blogs like this: http://wolfcrow.com/blog/the-sony-vegas-pro-export-guide-part-one-internal-workflows/
So, am I doing something wrong or has Sony once again messed up something while updating Vegas? I'm using the latest version of Vegas Pro 13 Suite.
Vegas Pro 13 supports image sequence rendering. In the "Render As" dialog under "Output Format", if you uncheck "Show favorites only" and "Match project settings", you should see an expandable section of Image sequence formats, including JPEG, PNG, and TIFF.
Holy Cow Receptor - I am truly amazed that you dug up this thread for nearly a century ago?
What version of Vegas was playing then?
VegasPro exports image sequence and has for a very very long time. It has been considered one of the most professional ways to work with digital video for nearly a decade!
