To import a folder of clips, choose File > Import. Locate and select the folder you want
to import, and then click Folder. The folder imports as a new bin in the Project window,
with the folder’s contents listed inside the bin.
You can also import files and folders by dragging them from a desktop window to the
Project window in Adobe Premiere Pro.
Importing still images
You can import individual still images or convert a numbered sequence of still images into
a single animation as you import (see
“Importing an animation or still-image sequence”
on page 84
). You can import still images with frame sizes up to 4000 x 4000 pixels. The
following guidelines affect how still images appear when you import them into Adobe
Premiere Pro:
•
An imported still image uses the duration specified in the Edit > Preferences > Still
Image preferences. You can change the duration of a still image in the Timeline
window.
•
The size and aspect ratio of imported still images is affected by the same factors that
affect imported video clips. See
“Importing clips” on page 81
.
•
When preparing images in applications that support color management, such as Adobe
Photoshop, colors may appear more consistent between the application and Adobe
Premiere Pro if you prepare images in a video-friendly color space such as sRGB or NTSC
RGB.
•
For best results, create files with a frame size at least as large as the frame size of the
project, so that you don’t have to scale up the image in Adobe Premiere Pro. Scaling an
image larger than its original size can cause loss of sharpness. If you plan to scale up an
image, prepare it at a larger frame size than the project. For example, if you plan to scale
up an image 200% in a project, prepare the image at double the project frame size
before you import it.
To change the default duration for still images:
1
Choose Edit > Preferences > Still Image.
2
For Default Duration, specify the number of frames you want as a default duration for a
still image.
Note:
Changing the default duration of still images does not affect the duration of still
images that are already part of a sequence.
When importing files through the Import dialog box, you can identify files visually if
you set the view to Thumbnails.
To change the duration of a still image in the timeline:
Do one of the following:
•
Position the selection tool over either end of the image and drag.
•
Select the clip, and choose Clip > Speed. Enter a new duration, and click OK.
To adjust the pixel aspect ratio of an imported still image:
1
Select the still image in the Project window.
