To import frames into Premiere Pro, specifically an image sequence, you need to ensure the "Image Sequence" box is checked during the import process. This allows Premiere Pro to recognize the consecutive images as a single video clip.
Importing Image Sequences into Premiere Pro
Here's a step-by-step guide to effectively import your frames as a video sequence into Premiere Pro:
- Locate Your Image Sequence: First, make sure your image sequence is saved in a single folder with the images named sequentially (e.g., image001.jpg, image002.jpg, etc.).
- Import the Sequence:
- Open Premiere Pro.
- Navigate to the location of your image sequence.
- Select the first image in your sequence.
- Crucially, ensure the "Image Sequence" checkbox is ticked within the import window.
- Click Open: By clicking “Open,” Premiere Pro will recognize your selected file as an image sequence, rather than individual stills.
- Drag to Timeline: After importing, simply drag the image sequence from the project panel to your timeline.
- Playback: Premiere Pro will now play back the imported image sequence smoothly, keeping your system settings into account for proper playback.
Key Takeaways for Importing Frames
- Naming Convention: Ensure your files are sequentially named, starting with a numerical value that will be used by Premiere Pro to link the sequence.
- Single Folder: All images of the sequence must be placed in the same folder to be imported as a single sequence.
- Image Sequence Checkbox: Always remember to tick the "Image Sequence" checkbox when importing.
By following these steps, you can import frames as video sequences smoothly and efficiently in Adobe Premiere Pro.
