Still image exporter settings?

[hungaristani]

Is there any way to access the still image exporter settings like the image quality settings or compression method? I want to export a sequence as a series of tiff images with lossless compression.

what for Edius version ??
with or without alpha??

Any news of the capture single frame facility in this section coming , this was removed in Edius 6.5

Thanks guys, these replies show that there's no way access the settings I was looking for. I didn't mean the generic edius related settings (between in/out, upper/lower field etc.) , but the ones that determine quality of the saved image. These can be found in any decent image processing app. like photoshop: e.g. saving as tiff should allow for choosing the compression method (lzw or zip), saving as jpg should allow for setting the level of compression/image size etc. It's a shame we can't do that in edius.

Go to Settings>System Settings>Importer/Exporter>Still Images
I think this is what you are looking for.

No, these settings are generic. As I wrote, the settings I was looking for are specific for each file format. If e.g. you select tif or jpg under "save as" in Photoshop, CorelDraw, ACDSee (or any decent imaging app) you'll see what I mean.
They're clearly unavailable in Edius,

tga in EDIUS is uncompressed, so is bmp and tiff

there are no quality settings for jpg but I don't think you would use jpg

I was looking for a format with lossless compression (tif could have been that, but the settings are missing to choose the compression method). If I remember correctly, png is the only supported format in Edius that uses lossless compression by default, so with no access to image format settings it seems to be the only option for me.

But is it 10-bit and are there colour/gamma shifts? The last time I tried to do what you are trying to do, I had no success. That being said, Premiere Pro and Vegas had their own problems too. The only way out at the time was to export 10-bit AVI and import into After FX, then export TIFF sequence from there (where you will find all the settings you are looking for).

I read this thread with great interest. But now I have serious problems to follow You:

If You are looking for a format with lossless compression - well tif is one.
But You are also looking for a format with lossless compression ... AND missing the compression method??
What is a lossless compression with the ability to define at the same time a compression method?

As Anton wrote:
tif and bmp are lossless.
jpeg is not - but yes, there is no ability to select a compression method in edius.

So one has to export into tif or bmp, open photoshop and export that tif/bmp-file as jpeg. Not very elegant - but there is no other way (at the time?).
Am I right ?

Hello Kurt
maybe, hungaristani wish, goes eventually in this direction

but this is imho a "feature" from a Graphic-Application ... .and not from a NLE-Applikation
I have to look in my PPro 5.5 if it is on the Adobe-NLE available

The reason why you have "serious problems" to follow me is probably because you didn't read Anton's post carefully enough: he didn't write that tif and bmp are lossless (which is true btw), he wrote they are uncompressed in Edius (bmp always is), which is a big difference and this difference explains my problem straight away: we don't have a dialog that would allow for choosing compressed tif images as the output format. In my case that would eat up some extra terabytes of disk space. So, for this reason, png is the only option, because png files are always compressed and their compression method is lossless.
