Problem Solving

I needed the frames from the Howl's moving castle trailer, but I didn't know how to turn the video into an image sequence. I had a quick research on that and found a very useful article. These are the steps I had to follow:

First I had to open the video in photoshop. I had to go go to File > Open and navigate to the folder where I had the movie trailer, the select it and click Open.
I had to define an are for export. I had to select the start and end point. In my case it was 20 seconds.
Then I had to define the image size. I had to go to File > Export > Render Video. I had to choose Photoshop Image Sequence instead of Adobe Media Encoder. Then I had to select image size according to the Animate file, and it was 1280 by 720 (HD), I need to define frame rate (24:00/sec), and then choose Work area as my Range option, and finally click on Render

I forgot to select a folder to send all the images to, and because of that the images went all over the desktop and It took me a long time to put them all in a folder as there were around 400 images.

When I came to college in the morning and tried to open the animation from one drive, I couldn't. On the screen a saw a page pop up and tell me that there was an error. Soon I realised that the file did upload completely on the previous day when I was saving it. I really need to work on the animation, so I called my parents and navigated them trough the so the could fully upload the file. I had to wait some time, however at the end I did get the file.
