Dragonframe: Export Image Sequence

The image files Dragonframe saves to your project folder as you capture are neither cropped nor rotated. To produce a sequence of images that look just like your animation frames should, you'll have to export them as an image sequence.

  1. Select File > Export Image Sequence
  2. Make sure the source is set to High-resolution.
  3. Confirm that your rotation, scaling, and crop settings are configured appropriately.
  4. Select desired file format (likely TIFF or PNG), quality settings (likely 100%), naming scheme, and destination.
  5. After exporting, examine images to confirm all settings were correct.
