Write single image series in append mode about tifffile HOT 5 CLOSED

I actually know the total number of frames. In this case, is it possible to write chunks of frames at once to the same series (not frame by frame)?

If you don't need the tifffile metadata, try:

with TiffWriter('video.tif') as tif:
    for chunk_of_frames in video:
        tif.save(chunk_of_frames, contiguous=True, metadata=None)

Otherwise provide a generator of frames (not tested):

def frames():
    for chunk_of_frames in video:
        for frame in chunk_of_frames:
            yield frame

imwrite('video.tif', frames(), shape=video.shape, dtype=video.dtype)

from tifffile.

If the number of frames is unknown before, the only way to achieve that is to write frame by frame to an open TiffWriter instance in contiguous mode:

with TiffWriter('video.tif') as tif:
    for frame in video:
        tif.save(frame, contiguous=True)

@cgohlke thanks for the quick reply!

Thanks! I'll try these solutions and let you know :)

The first solution did the trick :)
