For best results, create files with a frame size at least as large as the frame size of the project so that you don't have to
scale up the image in Adobe Premiere Pro. Scaling an image larger than its original size can cause loss of sharpness.
If you plan to scale up an image, prepare it at a larger frame size than the project. For example, if you plan to scale
up an image 200%, prepare the image at double the project frame size before you import it.
Importing animations
You can import an animation contained in a single file, such as an animated GIF. You can also import a sequence of
numbered still-image files and automatically combine them into a single video clip; each numbered file becomes one
frame of video. Importing a sequence is useful for animations exported as a series of numbered still images by appli-
cations like After Effects. The images in the series cannot include layers. For information on layers and flattening,
see the application's documentation.
When creating three-dimensional images or animations for use in Adobe Premiere Pro, follow these guidelines
whenever possible:
•
Use broadcast-safe color filtering.
•
Use the pixel aspect ratio and frame size specified in the project settings in Adobe Premiere Pro.
•
Use the appropriate field settings to match your project.
•
If you're using an Adobe application to generate the sequence, select the Embed Project Link option so that you
can open the sequence in the application that was used to create it.
To import numbered still-image files as one clip
Make sure that each still-image file name contains an equal number of digits at the end and has the correct file
1
extension—for example, file000.bmp, file001.bmp, and so forth.
2
Choose File > Import.
Locate and select the first numbered file in the sequence, select Numbered Stills, and click Open. When
3
Numbered Stills is selected, Adobe Premiere Pro interprets each of the numbered files as a single frame in a video
clip.
Note: Changing the default duration of still images in the Preferences dialog box does not affect the duration of numbered
stills imported into a video clip. Each still becomes one frame when imported in this way.
Importing earlier projects
You can add the contents of an Adobe Premiere 6.0 or 6.5 project into an open Adobe Premiere Pro project. The
imported project's clips and sequences are added to the Project panel in a bin named after the imported project. The
bin hierarchy of the imported project is maintained within its new bin. All of the imported project's special effects,
such as transitions and effects, are included. Use caution when importing a project into another project with a
different timebase or audio sample rate, because these differences may affect edit positioning and audio quality.
Importing a project into another project is the only way to transfer its complete sequence and clip information.
Note: In earlier versions of Adobe Premiere, storyboards were stored in files independent of project files. Adobe Premiere
Pro contains all storyboard features within the Project panel, but you can import storyboard files created in earlier
versions by choosing File > Import.
