Premiere won't import image sequence!

I'm trying to make a timelapse video. I've 280ish jpeg photos that i've imported onto my computer straight from my camera. They are all consecutively numbered files.
I have gone onto import, selected the first file and then checked 'image sequence'. I then click 'open', but nothing happens. I don't get a clip there or an options box or anything. There isn't any media at all opened for me. What am I doing wrong?
I am able to import all the photos individually but I want to import them as a sequence and set the frame rate...
I've tried the same thing in photoshop and it works there, but premiere gives much control so I'd prefer to use that if possible...

Select them all and drag them in to a Sequence.
Make sure that prior that... you have set a STills Frame Preference. eg 01 Frames for each.
You cant set a Frame Rate on still images AFAIK

  • HT4101 The SD card reader won't import images to the iPad. I purchase 10 months ago, and haven't had a problem with it until today. How do I remedy this problem? I'm about the go out of town and prefer not a travel with my laptop.

    My SD card reader won't import images from the SD card. I purchased this product 10 months ago and have had no problem with it up to now. How do I remedy this problem. Using the product allows me to travel without a laptop ...Please help!

    Have you tried to give your device a reset? Sometimes that helps with glitches. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
    ALso, the card reader will only see files that are formatted correctly. If you just took the images from your computer and put them onto the card, then it won't work. They have to follow a strict naming convention. There has to be a folder named DCIM on the card and then all those images have to have a file name of exactly 8 characters, DSC_3857 for example. Your camera makes this naming structure but if you manually put the photos on that card you may not have replicated it.
    Is this a card you've used before? If it's a new card and is empty then the iPad won't read it. Also if it's SDXC it won't read those either (XC cards use a file structure that the iPad can't decipher)

  • Imported image sequence in PP CC 2014 causes animated layers to flicker

    I have a project which has a primary layer formed of imported JPGs that are in sequence. These are shots from a time lapse and are sequentially named and imported without issue into Premier Pro. I then have a secondary layer with a simple After Effects composition that comprises a slow fade and animation of some title text. The problem I have is that during playback in PP (or once rendered) the animation of the text in the AA layer flickers. Watching it frame by frame in the preview window it is slowly fading in but each alternate frame it's opacity seems to go back one frame before advancing.
    Now I can completely fix this by exporting the image sequence clip in my bin to a video file. If I then replace the image sequence with a video made using exactly the same images it works fine and the animation is perfectly smooth. My question is why does PP not treat the imported image sequence the same as a video with its interaction with other layers?

    Hi there.
    Looking at the footage, you are exporting at 24P. There are books written on 24P and how to shoot (or edit) for it. What I see as a possible mistake.
    You are moving the photo too fast across the screen. That could be the same as panning too fast in 24P. Same result. The video clips are moving much slower and don't show the staggering.
    Give it a try.

  • Importing Image Sequences...

    When I export a video clip into an image sequence and import those images back, they become 10 second long stills. How do you import them and automatically have their duration as only 1 frame?

    or use quicktimepro to import image sequences and do a save as a quicktime movie. FCP can choke on the sheer number of files involved in an image sequence.

  • Compressor 3.5 and Importing Image Sequences

    Hi,
    The marketing says,
    ++++++++++++++++++++
    Image sequence support
    Graphics compositing applications and film workflows often use an image sequence format for cross-platform compatibility as well as to keep quality high. Image sequences treat each video or film source frame as a still image.
    Compressor 3.5 imports image sequences in standard formats including TIFF, Targa, DPX, and OpenEXR. You can specify an audio file to incorporate with the image sequence as you import it — for example, the original field-recorded audio for a clip that was converted to a sequence.
    ++++++++++++++++++++
    But exactly how is this done with Compressor 3.5? Don't see it in the wizard or Add File dialogue boxes.
    thanks!

    Oops, just found it.

    However, I can import a SGI file on it's own, but not with the above menu selection - the files are gray'd out.

    How can I import image sequences into Fireworks???

    I quote:
    Not specifically "import" but you can open a series of images as an animation. This will place each image in its own state, suitable for creating an animation.

    Select the images
    Enable Open as animation.

  • Import image sequences

    I work in a post production enviroment and am finding it problematic that i cant import image sequences into compressor of FCP. I know the work around to import into quicktime and export a reference movie. But this is both time consuming and anoying is there a way to do this otherwise ??

    I do this all the time. Render your image sequence to a separate folder for each pass, use a numbering fomat like bg_0001.tif, the go to File>Import and select any file in the folder and check the Image Sequence box and import.

  • Very poor Playback of imported image sequence

    Hello,
    I really tried to work around this problem but I'm resigned to see that premiere pro seems to handle very bad the playback of imported sequence of numbered stills.
    I began with premiere elements. I imported my footage as image sequence (from 3dsmax), and saw that the playback was poor. It seemed to be playable after background rendering was finished, but BG rendering is soooo long due to an issue with nvidia hardware. So I'm forced to disable BG rendering, but the problem is that the sequence go unplayable again, etc, etc.
    I decided to install premiere pro cs5 trial to test, thinking that it will definitively fix the problem,
    but... same poor, almost unusable playback with numbered stills.
    I have a strong hardware (dual xeon 5650, quadro 4000, 48gb ram), so I think it's not the cause.
    I disable my antivirus while using premiere.
    Video sequences (avi, mov, etc), play smoothly, but when you work with CG 3D footage, you always export in image sequences, and I want to be able to edit my footages in premiere, as compositing softwares aren't built for the same kind of tasks.
    After effects plays images sequences very smoothly, so why not premiere?
    I did convert my image sequences to avi or mov uncompressed, but even with no compression, there's a significant loss of quality, and I want to avoid this loss to be able to edit my footage and output my final video based on the best image quality possible.
    Thank you for answering

    I have a strong hardware (dual xeon 5650, quadro 4000, 48gb ram), so I think it's not the cause.
    You did not mention your disk setup.
    Playing back numbered image sequences at high resolution is
    probably the most disk IO intensive thing you can ask Premiere to do.
    Without a dedicated RAID controller and multi-disk setup, you will likely be
    forced to timeline preview render all your image sequences for real time playback.
    After effects plays images sequences very smoothly, so why not premiere?
    AE will not play image sequences in real time until you render a RAM preview.
    I did convert my image sequences to avi or mov uncompressed, but even with no compression, there's a significant loss of quality...
    There will be no loss of quality if you use a lossless codec for your
    digital intermediate file (i.e. Lagarith or UT), and these uncompressed files
    will play smoothly in Premiere without needing to render timeline previews.

  • Import Image Sequence not importing all images

    I have a sequence of 99 JPG images that I am trying to import into Premiere Pro. These images were created by an export from Lightroom.
    When I perform the import starting at the first image, only 35 images are imported.
    If I import the sequence starting at the 34th image, only 2 images are imported.
    If I import the sequence starting at the 35th image, only 1 image is imported (and it is imported as an image file it appears).
    If I import the sequence starting at the 36th image, the remaining images are imported.
    I have tried a number of different settings for the export from lightroom, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. For example, if I export as TIFF I see the exact same problem. If I export as JPG using a smaller image size I see the exact same problem.
    I have tried "Replace Footage..." to no effect.
    When I inspect the image files using an image view there appear to be no issues with the files. File sizes are consistent and not inordinantly large (~5MB).
    The filenames are all properly numbered as expected by Premiere Pro.
    I have done this successfully dozens of times before this problem arose, and I have done it successfully a number of times since the problem arose. The problem appears to happen only with this particular set of images.
    I can work around the problem by importing the images as two separate imports (one starting at the first image and a second starting at the 36th image) and putting them both in a single sequence. In fact, this spliced sequence looks as expected with no missing frames or anything else untoward that I can see.
    I've poked around with this for a couple days, and cannot discern any other factors that may be causing this.
    Does anybody have any idea what might be going on?

    I checked the filenames again and they're properly sequenced with no extra or missing spaces or anything else that doesn't follow the pattern of the first 34 images. In fact, I took a screenshot of this, and in doing so I figured out what the problem is.
    Here's a screenshot of the directory with all the images.
    As I was reviewing this screenshot, I noticed that the "Date" column goes over midnight. Images 0001-0034 all took place before midnight, and images 0035-0099 took place after midnight.
    This column shows the capture time of the images, coming from the camera and through the export from Lightroom. This is different from the creation date of the exported file, which is shown in the "Date modified" column (cropped out of screenshot). In other words, you can see that I took the pictures on February 25 and 26, but exported them on March 1.
    To verify that this might be the problem I used "Edit Capture Time..." in Lightroom to shift all the images an hour earlier. This means that there is no longer a date change in the sequence as they all have capture times before midnight. I then exported the images from Lightroom again, and imported them into Premiere Pro.
    When I do this, all the images are imported into Lightroom successfully.
    I realize this is only one data point, but it sounds like Premiere Pro is maybe using the capture time as part of its sequencing heuristics, and for some reason it isn't handling a date change properly. Or maybe something else is afoot.
    What do you think?

  • Imported image sequences get cut off half-way through

    Hi there! I'm trying to import an image sequence (jpeg) into Premiere Pro CS4 4.2.1 and having trouble getting the clip to play in entirety. My sequence is 24 fps and the footage I'm bringing in is a 5-second piece interpreted at 12 fps. (It was shot at 12 fps via Dragonframe software, on 1's). Unfortunately, the clip gets cut off half-way through. If I play it at 24 fps it's all there but much too short of course, and the wrong speed. If I play it back at 12 fps, only the first half or so of it shows up. All the files are numbered correctly, so there shouldn't be a cut-off. I feel like this might be some obvious problem, but google-and-forum searches have yielded nary a result. Anyone run into this or be able to tell me what I'm doing wrong?
    Background info: I'm on a Dell Inspiron 1525, Windows Vista, 32-bit operating system, using Premiere Pro CS4 4.2.1, importing jpegs as an image sequence/numbered stills. Not running any other software, codecs, playback engines etc. to my knowledge.
    Many thanks!

    Thanks, John and Jim.
    I went in to change the Indeterminate Media Timebase to 12, but there's no such number option in CS4. The lowest is 23.9-something, and 24 is the next one up. After bringing the sequence in and playing it in the little preview box in the upper left-hand corner, everything's there, but bringing it into the time-line cuts it off. Is this a glitch? Any other known ways around it? Worst comes to worst I guess would be importing the sequence in two halves.

  • Quicktime Pro 7.6.9 crashes when I try to import image sequence

    Hi,
    I'm running Quicktime Pro 7.6.9 on a Windows XP machine with service pack 3.
    I shot some timelapses with my Nikon D7000 as jpegs and while trying to import the image sequences into Quicktime so I can export them out as .MOVs, I noticed that Quicktime crashes when ever I try to import a sequence that has 240 or more pictures. Most of my timelapses have 240 or 360 pictures. I was able to import a sequence that had only 180 pictures. Does Quicktime Pro 7.6.9. have an image sequence limit that I don't know about? I don't have any sequences that are anything between 180 and 240, so I can't test out numbers like 190, 200, 210, etc.
    Any ideas on what's happening?

    The files are 4928x3264 JPEGs. I'm trying to make 1920x1080 .MOV files. Quicktime crashes as soon as I select the first pic from the image sequence.
    I tried another sequence that had 600 pics and it worked fine, so it's obviously not some sort of image limit. But I can't figure out why these three sequences that each have 240 images would cause the program to crash everytime.

  • Elements 10 Won't import images

    I upgraded from Elements 6 to 10 last week. The problem is that suddenly my images won't import. I plug in the camera and it begins the process, I see 4 thumbnail images show up, then the rest of the thumbnails after that just display an hourglass image. The whole process seems to start, then lock up. But if I try to  import the same images from the same camera with my old computer using Elements 6, there is no problem at all, and all of the images import. Even tho I just upgraded to 10 recently, is there an update or fix for Elements 10 I need to go looking for?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi,
    It maybe the way I'm reading your posts but are you saying that you were using PSE 6 on the Windows 7 system or did you change system and PSE 6 to 10 at the same time?
    I don't have a T1 but I have tried it with an 40D and it seemed to work OK. Have you tried turning off the advanced "Get" options like red eye fix? If windows can transfer the photos then it must be something extra that PSE is doing. Perhaps doing a catalog optimise may help.
    I'm afraid that I'm one of those that use a card reader to download the photos.

  • Automatically generating a comp for imported image sequences

    hi, i'm quite new to After Effects scripting so bear with my newbieness;)
    Basically i have a long list of shot folders which each contain a number of render layer folders which contains image sequences. I realised after a while that it is extremely tedious opening each shot folder and dragging the render layer folders into after effects, then creating a comp for them and also a shot folder for the sequences. Doing this for 60 shots individually takes hours and is boring.
    Is there a way to run a script that can import all the shot folders in one big batch and then After Effects splits them up into their own seperate comps so i dont have to do it manually?
    Any help or suggestions on this would be great,
    thanks,
    Sam

    thanks myrslok, that was really helpful. I installed Immigration and then discovered it doesnt work with after effects 7.0. (which im on). Is there a way around this, because i saw the demo for Immigration and it looks great
