Choose Merged Layers to import all layers in the file as a single layer, or choose the
layer
you want to import from the file.
5
Choose one of the following options in the Footage Dimensions pop-up menu, and
then click OK:
•
Document Size resizes the file to the size of the document as specified in Project
Settings.
•
Layer Size imports the file at the size of the merged layers or selected layer.
Note: When you import one layer as a single clip, its name in the Project window consists
of the layer name followed by the original filename.
To import a layered Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator file as a sequence:
1
Choose File > Import.
2
In the Import dialog box, make sure that All Supported Media is selected for Files of
Type, and then locate and select a layered file.
3
In the Import Layered File dialog box that appears, choose Sequence in the Import As
pop-up menu, and then click OK.
Importing an animation or still-image sequence
You can import an animation contained in a single file, such as an animated GIF. An
animation
is different from a video in that it is generated synthetically, not by shooting live
action. Adobe Premiere Pro can also import a sequence of numbered still-image files and
automatically combine them into a single clip; each numbered file represents one frame.
Some applications, such as Adobe After Effects, can generate a numbered sequence of
still
images. Images in a still-image sequence cannot include layers, so you need to flatten
images that will be part of a sequence. For information on layers and flattening, see the
documentation for the application that created the file.
Note: Changing the default duration of still images in the Preferences dialog box does not
affect the duration of still images that are part of a sequence.

When creating three-dimensional images or animations for use in Adobe Premiere Pro,
use the following guidelines whenever possible:
•
Use broadcast-safe color filtering.
•
Use the pixel aspect ratio and frame size specified in the project settings in Adobe
Premiere Pro.
•
Use the appropriate field settings to match your project.
•
If you’re using an Adobe application to generate the sequence, turn on the Embed
Project Link option so that you can open the sequence in the application that was used
to create it. See “Editing a clip in its original application” on page 145.
To import numbered still-image files and compile them into a single clip:
1
Make sure that each still-image filename has the correct file extension, and make sure
that all filenames in the sequence contain an equal number of digits at the end of the
filename (before the filename extension)—for example,
file000.bmp
,
file001.bmp
, and so
forth.
2
Choose File > Import.
3
Locate and select the first numbered file in the sequence, select Numbered Stills, and
click Open. When Numbered Stills is on, Adobe Premiere Pro interprets all of the
numbered files as a single sequence.
