HD Projects in Premiere Pro made from still photos
Could anyone supply a work flow by which I could take thousands of identically sized (1920×1080) pixel photos and edit them together into a 1080p project in Premiere Pro 2.0??

What are you trying to do, make a photo montage, photo album, or tack the photos in sequence to make video frames for a movie?

The project is less than a minute of very fast cut stills to music. It is ultimately an HD movie promo.

But you did say “thousands”, that’s about 2 pictures per frame (not sure that’s going to work), sound like the audience will never be the same after that one 😉

We will edit from thousands down to hundreds 🙂 The question of work flow has not yet been addressed??? How does one set up a 1080p project in Premiere Pro? Does it require outside codec or hardware?
Pretend my machine is plenty fast to handle the bandwidth of HD 1080p

Well, to setup the project, you simply pick 1080P in the project setup window. Then pick your frame rate, aaaaand…that’s about it for the setup. The workflow will really depend on what you are trying to achieve. Prior to import, the pictures may need to be formatted in Photoshop with batch processing, or not.
Photoshop, for example will do a much better job at scaling than Premiere will, so if you are able to import the pics at 1920×1080, all the better (of course then zooming in is not longer in question without quality loss)
Then you can change the default length for each pic on the timeline (preferences), make good use of the “.” shortcut to send the pics from source to selected track. And then, you haven’t told us what medium this is going to be sent to. HD DVD, WMVHD, tape ?

If I told you, I’d have to …..
I will be more communicative after I get the idea to work.
Thanks for the simple explanation. I will follow to the letter.Bob Kiger author of “videography” word
