time lapse with gopro
I shot a time lapse video with my gopro 3 and wanted to put it together with premiere pro 6. It’s came out as about 4,500 jpegs. When I import them I only see the middle of the image because each jpeg is 3,000 x 4,000. I can zoom out on each individual jpeg, but I don’t know how to do it for the whole sequence.

Is your Sequence frame size the same as your files? If you create a Sequence of the same size (3000×4000), then you should not run into this issue with your files. You could even drop one file on to the ‘New Item’ icon on the bottom right of the Project panel and it will create a new Sequence based upon the file frame size.
If you want to see the entire image in a smaller frame size Sequence, you can select all of the files in the Sequence, right-click and select ‘Scale to Frame Size’

Thanks. I have since figured it out. I was importing them as jpegs and not as an “image sequence”. Thanks though!

I have done several imports of GoPro footage (stills) using the checked “Image Sequence” box to create time lapse footage, but now I’m have a problem with the one I’m currently trying to do. It is just over 3000 images and the GoPro named them sequentially, though it chose random numbers, often jumping a few hundred then continuing on. Obviously renaming 3000 files seems daunting, so I’m wondering if anyone can shed some light on my problem. When I do the import I get only the first frame (:03 secs) and nothing I do rectifies this. It’s totally bizarre, considering I’ve done this at least 50 times before with no problem.
Suggestions? -
Not sure how files can be named sequentially with random numbers. Sure would like to see a screen grab of that.
At any rate, if you decide that you need to rename the files, a utility like Winsome File Renamer will make it a breeze, allowing you to set rules for renaming lots of files truly sequentially, and viewing a preview of the renamed files before actually hitting ‘Go’.

I got it figured out. It seems that each time I stopped the GoPro, it re-started with a new 1000’s (i.e.: jumped from 4,000 to 5,000) and Premiere Pro only batches each set within the same sequence and stops when there’s a jump. Thus, I did an individual import for each section and it worked fine.
Thanks
