Photochemical Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Dear All, My Lumix camera has a '4K' function which I use occasionally. It's good for 'burst' shooting, for example when capturing images of an animal in motion. The camera exports these bursts as mpeg files. Is there a way I can select a particular jpeg from these collections of images and import this single image into Affinity Photo? Your advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

IanSG Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 You select the image in the camera, but you need to tell us which camera you've got. Quote AP, AD & APub user, running Win10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photochemical Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 Thanks very much, Ian. It's a Lumix TZ100. You're right about the selection of images in the camera, but I was wondering if it was possible to do it outside instead. If not, I'll have to return to doing that. I appreciate your responding so swiftly. Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanSG Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Hi Roger! No, it can only be done in camera or (I assume) by doing a frame grab in a video editor - AP can't do it. Thanks for the reminder about the 4K shooting, btw, I've recently bought a GX80 and that's another feature I need to get to grips with!

Photochemical Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 Thanks again, Ian. Yes, it seems a shame that one can't select an 'ideal' image outside the camera, where the image quality is inevitably clearer. I'm not suggesting that Affinity should be able to handle this, but another third-party application would be useful. In any case, thank you again for your helpfulness, and I hope you enjoy your new camera! Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VLC can do it - you can go through the clip frame by frame and then take a snapshot. And it's free!!

Photochemical Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 Oh! That's even more useful. I have VLC already - will do that. Thanks again for your thoughtfulness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanSG Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Don't thank me yet - I picked a bad example to test! I'm not sure that it's as practical as I thought! Quote AP, AD & APub user, running Win10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photochemical Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 I'll give it a try ...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
