Introducing Sequence Pro
Sequence Pro is a macOS desktop app for extracting frames, composing with layers, and exporting polished contact sheets through a canvas-based pipeline.
Sequence Pro is built for people who need contact sheets that are both fast to produce and easy to trust.
What ships today
- Selection-based workflow: add one or many videos, select a video, and export the current selection when ready.
- Frame settings for extraction mode, arrangement, timestamps, and preview quality.
- Scene-style composition with text elements, metadata tokens, and watermark layers.
- Canvas-based export output in PNG or JPEG with explicit size and quality controls.
Why this workflow works
- You iterate in preview first, then export when composition is ready.
- Global composition settings keep queue output consistent.
- Token-based text and filename templates reduce manual cleanup.
Core flow
- Add local videos (or supported online URLs when yt-dlp is installed).
- Choose extraction and arrangement settings for coverage.
- Tune key frames where precision matters.
- Compose with text elements, metadata tokens, timestamps, and watermarks.
- Export through the canvas pipeline with chosen format, size mode, and naming template.
Practical guidance
- Use presets for recurring looks (review, delivery, archive).
- Keep text concise for dense grids.
- Verify readability on both bright and dark frames.
- Choose PNG for fidelity, JPEG for smaller files.
