To import a folder of files as frames:
1
Place the files to be used as frames into a folder. Make sure that the folder contains only
those images that are to be used as frames. The resulting animation will display more
successfully if all files are the same pixel dimensions.
To have frames appear in the correct order in the animation, name the files in alphabetical
or numeric order, with the file to be used as frame 1 the first in order. (You can also change
the order of the frames in the Animation palette after you import the files.)
2
Choose File > Import > Folder As Frames, and choose the folder to be imported.
The files appear in the Animation palette as frames and in the Layers palette as layers, with
each layer assigned to a separate frame. The image that is first alphabetically or numeri-
cally by filename is frame 1 in the Animation palette and the bottom layer in the Layers
palette.
Opening QuickTime movies as animations
You can open movies in MOV, AVI, and FLIC formats to view and edit in ImageReady.
To open QuickTime-compatible movies:
1
Choose File > Open, and select the movie to open.
2
Select the range of frames to import:
•
From Beginning to End to open the full file.
•
Selected Range Only to open selected frames. Drag the slider below the movie
thumbnail to specify the starting point for the range, then Shift-drag to specify the
ending point. (A black bar on the slider indicates the range you select.)
3
Select Limit to Every <number> Frame to specify which frames to include from the
selected range. (You can use this option with either Range option.)
4
Click Open.
