  importing a still frame but using for duration of more than 1 frame.

  Posted by Nat Jencks on January 5, 2014 at 9:27 pm

  Is there a way to do this? Title card that should last 4 second, and which I have a single frame for?

  Nice that v10 lets me cut stills into the timeline, but I need to set their duration as more than 1 frame. Possible?

  Thanks

  I’ve done cmd c cmd v in past versions, not great but better than nothing!

  Think you can you can drag out the length you need on the edit page.

  Haven’t upgrade to v10 yet. But I’ve done this all the time in v9.
  Set speed to 0%, then drag to whatever length you want.

  a solution : script it. In the terminal (OS X) : type this

  x= [then drag the still image from the Finder, then Press return,
after that you can copy/paste the rest]

  dir=`dirname "$x"`; filename=$(basename "$x") ; extension="${filename##*.}"
y=1000 ; while [[ "$y" -lt "2000" ]]; do
ln "$x" "$dir/$y.$extension" ; let y+=1
done

  and you should have in a matter of seconds a loop of 1000 images that don’t use more space on the disk than the original image (did not test the script but should work, I use these sort of scripts all the time).
