[@melodyyy7954]

thank u so much.....but now how do i change the fps?

[@Graphicious]

Hey, sorry I forgot to mention that in my video. To change the framerate, you go to the video in the Media bin, right-click on it, choose "Modify" and then "Interpret footage". This will allow you to specify the desired framerate for that particular clip, using the "Assume this framerate" section.

[@ckforbes220]

Thanks for the guide, I was even wondering do I have to edit the time of every image to be in par of what I want

[@Graphicious]

You can Interpret the Footage (right click on the sequence in the bin). This will allow you to set the framerate to match your project. If that doesn't do it, you can apply Speed/Duration to it to stretch or compress the time it runs, but if you don't have enough images in the sequence, stretching it too far will lead to stuttering.

You could import the sequence of images as shown in this video, then you can right-click on the imported sequence and "Interpret Footage". That will allow you to change the framerate.

For a 10 seconds video. How many images do i need to shoot. Is there any formula?

[@Graphicious]

It depends on your project's framerate. For example, if your final framerate were 30fps, then for 10 seconds you'd need 300 frames. For 25fps, you'd need 250. You can interpret the footage if you need to adjust it but this is the basic formula.

[@SudheerKumar_Ch]

@@Graphicious thank you so much. ❤️

[@arperture1341]

They box to click the image sequence is grayed out, how can I fix this?

[@Graphicious]

Click the first image in the sequence first. If the box doesn’t activate, it means Premiere doesn’t detect the images in sequence - maybe you have missing numbers or it is not numbered in a way it understands. Try renaming all files to have clear numbers at the end, with padding zeroes.

[@eyelessfilmproductions3314]

What if I have my project in different folders from shot #1 to the last

[@Graphicious]

I don't see how Premiere can find them all, you would have to move all files to be in the same folder. Use a search tool, cut, paste.

[@bheloudesign]

When I click on Image Sequence, it only have 1 pic not all of the video, can you help me Sir ???? 😭😭😭

[@Jo-y7x]

I was trying to make a video by making a sequence of high quality photos of real people but after the export the photos quality looked terrible, do you know how to make a video of sequel photos without losing their original quality?

[@Graphicious]

It comes down to your sequence settings. You can export as HD or 4K, for better quality. Usually photos from your camera will be much larger, so I don't think you can actually export a video that keeps 'original quality'. You didn't specify where your photos came from and what their size was.

@@Graphicious I got the photos online they are jpg, the size are around 200kb, I tried the h.264 format with 4k quality in the export setting and it worked. Thanks!

@@Graphicious the files are organized with their numbers... but what could I do to fix that problem?😭

@@Graphicious They were "Scene00001, Secene0002"... Nevertheless I changed the name of the files, cause I thought that was the main problem so, I changed the name to "Frame 1" "Frame2"... but nothing worked.

[@Graphicious]

@Yousefdared I think you had them correctly there except for a space between the word and the numbers. I still recommend you name your files with a word and then a space and then the number padded with zero in front.

[@begrnuriar]

can you add transitions betwween each of these images?

[@Graphicious]

Since each image is one frame, there is no time for any transitions to play

[@begrnuriar]

@@Graphicious in this case yes, but its just an effect, like if you have 5 images, and each one has slight changes between each images, you get the effect you created. But if you only have image 1 and 5 of that same sequence, and then fade the two, it creates a different effect but still convey sequence (especially for photos). In that case, a transition would have helped, which is why I was asking.

[@Graphicious]

Yes a transition would help if each image occupies longer than 1 frame, sure.

Hello, I like to start a video on top of an “specific” frame of the image sequence but I don`t know how because the sequence looks like a video, I don`t have the info of each individual image on that clip, I hope you understand my question!

[@Graphicious]

If I understand your question, then I think you want to import the images into a sequence, then place that sequence on the timeline of another sequence in Premiere (just like a regular clip), and then move your play head to where the desired frame is. You can use the single frame advance buttons to get to the exact one you need, and place your other video at that exact point, on a different track in your sequence.

Hi there, I'm thinking of rendering my animation frames from Blender, and completing the final video on Adobe premeier. Before putting all the frames onto Adobe Premier, do you recommend exporting the frames as"Open EXR" or "TIFF" format (in Blender)?

[@Graphicious]

It depends on what you want to do, really but I would say use OpenEXR. It's 16-bit half float, it has better compression and I think it also helps stay away from banding. Best thing to do is to try a few frames and compare.

@@pegshealth So I'm not sure what you are asking. How to interpolate and add frames? Premiere doesn't do that, I think. Did you import frames and turned them into a video clip or was the REST of your project shot at 20fps? You can interpret the imported footage from the frames to tell it to be a different framerate, but that will obviously run out of frames faster, if you have a limited number.

[@pegshealth]

@@Graphicious I was asking how to make the frames transition the most smoothly from frame to frame. I can easily just move a slider and my frames look like a movie. But when I put them in Premiere, the results look more choppy.
