To import a sequence of png
files as a clip onto the
timeline:
- In the Project
window, specify where you
want to import the clip by
doing either of the
following:
- Navigate
to the bin into which
you want to import, or
to the topmost level of
the Project window.
- In list
view, select the bin
into which you want to
import.
- Choose File >
Import. The Import dialog
box appears.
- Do the
following:
- To import
multiple files, select
the files and click
Open.
The dialog box closes, and
the clips appear in the Project
window. If you imported an
entire folder, then the folder
appears as a bin of clips in the
Project window (Figure 1).
Figure 1: The
clips appear in the Project
window. A folder of clips
appears as items in a bin (shown
here).
Tip:
There are many ways to import
files, and chances are that
you’ll be doing a lot of
importing. Now’s a good time to
learn (or create) shortcuts for
the import command. Use a
contextual menu or keyboard
short-cut. Instead of choosing
File > Import, you can simply
double-click an empty part of
the clip area of the Project
window.
