2.69 official to current SVN.
Linux 64.

"Separate images" is not working anymore.
In the video sequencer If you select a video clip and go to Strip->Separate Images then you get a dialog asking for the number of frames for each frame. But whatever yo do, the strip will continue exactly the same.
The same result typing "Y" or as well as space->Separate Images.

Thanks

If you alter the value and press enter it works fine. But you're right, you should be able to use default value without cjanging it.

I am using 2.69 64bit windows hash: 646cc46
Ok after a quick test, you cannot split up a movie strip. But you CAN split an image sequence movie. The "Y" operator will not take effect until you alter the split value.

1.Add Image sequence strip.
2.Select strip, press "Y" to split strip into frames.
3.Function window appears, alter the fame value. eg. from 1 to 2 and back to 1.

The strip will be split into the length of frames you set.

The split function doesn't work on movie strips so it should not be available.

nb. If you want to decompose a movie clip into frames I suggest you render them out as an image sequence first, or use a combination of strip > Strobe > Speed Effect to slow the frame rate down.

Ok.... so "it's a feature" ? :)
What about proposing to add the option to also split videos and not only sequences? I mean having ffmpeg already there .it should be really "easy" to do.

Hi again guys.
Don't know if I should open a new bug or continue this one.
Right now "separate images" is not working at all. And when I get the "Separate Images - Length:" dialog, if I change the default value then blender crash.
The bug looks quite unstable. I only got it working apparently fine after loading 2 jpg files. All my other tries have ended with the followin crash. But sometimes it works a bit, bit if I change again the value, it crashs...


./blender
ndof: unknown Logitech product c52b
ndof: using SpaceNavigator
found bundled python: /home/vicente/aplicaciones/blender/trunk/install/linux/2.70/python
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

So should I open a new one or this is ok?
