How do I make a video from a bunch of stills?

PostFri Dec 02, 2022 11:36 am

I knew how to do this in Premiere Pro, but haven't figured out here. I have 108 images that were shot fast in sequence, when I pressed the shutter button instead of the record on the Nikon Z7 camera.

In the Media Page >> Media Storage panel (three dot) options menu you can set Frame Display Mode to Sequence ... sequentially numbered stills will then be presented as image sequence clips.

So I don't know how this works. I originally put them on the timeline and when it played, only showed the 1st frame, not change as it went along. So, as you said, I went to the media storage and chose frames as sequence, and no difference. I took them off an on cut page tried to put back on a timeline and got red circle with slash. then on the edit page, it says media offline.

Can you post a screenshot of your Edit page with your sequence of images in the Media Pool?

Nothing much to see as it won't let me add them.

Indeed, as expected.

Did you reimport them? Changing that setting changes how they are presented in Media Storage and how they will be imported thereafter. It doesn't change already imported instances.[/quote]

That is the Cut page. Are you able in the Edit page to drag one of the images to the Timeline? Can you post a screenshot of your Edit page after you attempt this?

Reimporting worked fine, thanks!
