Putting 300 images fast with space of 2 seconds?

Question

Hello, i have a total of 900(300 colored,300 grey,300lines) images from a model i makes and i want to make a video that uses those images and fades from one to another slowly.
So i need to do something like this color image 1 goes to 3 second and the image2 goes to 6th second and goes on
Grey image 1 goes to 2 second and the image 2 goes to the 4th second etc
And each image stays therefore 1.25/1.50 seconds so they will fade instead of suddenly change.
Do you have any idea how exactly i can do that fast without moving each image individually?

Answer 1

Ok, so I think I get it. You want to start with the first of 300 wireframe images, then fade to the first of 300 grayscale images, then fade to the first of 300 color images then fade to the second of 300 wireframe images, then to the second of 300 wireframe images, then to the second of 300 color images, then to the fourth, fifth and so on.
I'm assuming then that your total animation length would be 900 images shown for 1.5 seconds or 1350 seconds which is 22 and 1/2 minutes.
The way you would go about this is to rename your images to that image 1, the wireframe version of the image, would be named something like mySequence_001.png and image 2, the grayscale version would be mySequence_002.png, and image 3, the color version would be mySequence_003.png and so on.
You would then import all of those images into After Effects making sure that you did not import them as an image sequence. Then you would add all of those images to a composition with 001 at the top and 900 at the bottom. The composition would have to be 22;30;00 long. You would then select all layers, set the CTI to 1.5 seconds plus the duration of the transition between images (lets call it one second).
With the CTI set now to 0;00;02;15 (assuming 30 fps) you would select Animation>Keyframe Assistant>Sequence layers, set the overlap to 1 second, set fade images and click OK.
You'll end up with a slide show that fades between each version of each of your images before going to the next image in the sequence.
