  Premiere Pro 7.0

  Posted by Bob Lazar on July 22, 2008 at 3:57 pm

  Hiya y’all, having trouble finding a way of importing hundreds of JPEGs to make a timelapse. I can import them, set the default image duration to one frame, but I have no idea how to make the frames play at 30fps. I’m also struggling to work out how to export files at high definition resolutions.

  Any advice would be appreciated; I’ve searched and searched and all I get is simplistic approaches by timestretching a single clip…

  Thanks

  Wait a second… For a rocket scientist who has worked at Groom Lake, I’m surprised you’re having an issue with this. 🙂

  First, create a project that is in the format that you are going to export – presumably 30P, and at whatever ‘high definition’ frame size you intend to use.

  If you are trying to preview the video in Premiere at full frame rate you’ll probably need to prerender the timeline, by pressing the Enter button on your keyboard.

  If the clips are sequentially numbered and are actually a true sequence you can import the files as numbered stills. File/Import, select the first image in the sequence and check the ‘Numbered Stills’ box.

  If the images aren’t really a sequence, you can import as you have. Than, once the clips are in a timeline, create a new sequence and drop the stills sequence into the new sequence. It’s called nesting, or nesting a sequence.
  With either of these methods, you’ll now have all of your images behave as a single clip that you can manipulate just as you would a video file.

  As far as the actual export, are you exporting for DVD, HD, desktop, web, archive? Unless you intend to export an uncompressed movie, you should use either Adobe Media Encoder or Main Concept MPEG Pro. AME is free, Main Concept is a third-party plugin.

  Hope this helps.
