Last updated Jul 12, 2023 Edit Source

• Touchdesigner

• set your timeline in and out options to the desired length
• drop down a Movie File Out TOP and choose image sequence
• put the following snippet as an expression in the file path

1

'myImgSeq' + me.fileSuffix.replace( str(tdu.digits( me.fileSuffix )), f"{tdu.digits( me.fileSuffix ):04}")

• to also export audio reference the audio CHOP in the related parameter
• set TouchDesigner to non-Realtime mode by toggling off the Realtime Button at the top of the screen (this avoids dropping any frames)
• set the loop option to once
• go to the beginning of your timeline
• turn on Record on the Movie File Out TOP and hit play
