any ideas how I can batch convert a large amount of images (100+) to PICT? this is for a final cut project and it seems pict is what final cut likes.

try a photoshop batch. what you have to do is use the actions palette to record a new action - in this case saving a photo as PICT. after you record the action, go to file > automate > batch, and in this menu, choose your new action, and the folder to send it to, etc
i hope this helps... actions can be confusing, so if you have a hard time, ask me

i'll try it now. i'm somewhat familiar with actions (at least creating simple ones). will post the results in a bit.
on a side note, anyone know why or if Final Cut Pro prefers PICT files over JPEGs?

| Irfan View can do it. Although I'm not too sure about the conversion quality. What format are the original pics in? |

| GraphicConverter is like a Swiss Army knife when it comes to batch-converting image file formats (and all sorts of editing too). You'll find it on all the usual Mac shareware sites. |

Magnus is right. graphic converter is the way to go if you're on a Mac.

well, i guess that's another reason to get a mac...
here i am thinking photoshop is the best way... knowing macs, it probably takes a fraction of the time
