    Hi all,

    I searched for it in Google but I didn’t find anything…

    I would like to create a fast sequence of still images (photos), every image should last on the screen a bit of frames.

    As an example think about the intro of The Big Bang Theory sit com but without the zoom effect.

    The images should linearly increase their speed (last a minor number of frames) while moving to the end of the sequence.

    The sequence should have a lot of images (maybe more the 100) so I can’t think about manually add them.

    How can I achieve this result? Maybe using an expression? Some other trick?

    Thank you

    Ok thank you, I will do it frame by frame. 😛

    However maybe I could start from all images of the same duration (let’s say 2-3 frames each one).

    How can I import a lot of images (100?) and place them in a composition in which each image lasts 2-3 frames?

    Maybe can I set a default length for still images and then mass move them into a new comp?

    Set the preferences to import still images to your liking. Then add all pictures in a comp. Select all -> right click -> keyframe assistant -> sequence layers.

    I have used another solution that worked very well:

    1) import the images as a sequence footage. Now every image lasts 1 frame.

    2) Use time stretching and/or time remapping to increase the duration of some images.

    You can eventually insert your sequence more than once in a composition, changing the time stretching. As stretching value, use multiple of 100%. So if you set 300%, every image will last 3 frames.
