Resolution for Convert to Image Sequence

[Hans Petter Birkeland]

When I right-click a clip in the timeline and choose "Convert to Image Sequence", the resolution ov the images in the resulting image sequence is always 320x240. I have tried this with both 1280x720 material and 640x480 material. The default behaviour should be to use the original resolution, or perhaps the resolution of the current video profile.

OpenShot 1.4.3
Linux Mint 13
Melt 0.8.2

I hit the same problem. I did a google search and came upon this bug report. I also have a workaround. For the next person who sees the problem, googles, and ends up on this page, here's that workaround:

file > Export video > Advanced > Advanced Options

In the Video & Audio selection menu, choose Image Sequence.

I'm not sure if this next step is strictly necessary, but I did it anyway. Click Profile, and make sure the selection menu matches the type of Image Sequence you want. My video is 1920x1080, so I chose HD 1080p 60 fps.

There's only one Image Sequence Setting available, png.

Look back up to the top of that dialog box. Double check that the "Export to Folder" and File Name are what you want. You are about to make a bunch of files in that folder. Click Export, and wait a while. Openshot then creates still pictures in your desired resolution.

Be aware also that the numbers in the files OpenShot creates are not padded with leading zeros. So, for example, the following files will appear in a listing of the folder, next to each other:

still_from_video_999.png
still_from_video_99.png
still_from_video_9.png

even though they are from different parts of the video. I think I'll submit that as a separate bug.

Commenting on my comment: To pad the filenames with leading zeros, fix the File Name template at the top of the dialog box. For example to get all the files to appear in order in a directory listing (or in geeqie, or another program) in my example above, use

still_from_video_%4d.png
