Hi there

Panasonic produces focus stacks by putting the images in a mp4 movie.

Is Affinity Photo able to import this mp4?

If not, what procedure do you recommend?

Googling "get frames from mp4" gives you a range of possibilities.

I recommend you use the standard procedure of taking photos

Of course this is a solution. However, Panasonic's method is very fast, especially for objects that do not sit around for minutes ..

Yes, I have seen that, but I hoped to get a recommendation whether there is a freeware that performs well.

Agree this should be a feature in AP Photo.

 

In the mean time, using ffmpeg: (ffmpeg.org)

  1. Open terminal/console window.
  2. Change directory to where your video file exists. e.g. cd ~/Videos and hit enter.
  3. Type ffmpeg -i p110117.mp4  p110117_%d.jpg -hide_banner.
  4. Hit enter.
  5. Then you'll have all of your individual frames in the same directory as your original video file.
