You set the duration globally in the Prefs before importing (though it's easily changed later) You can pick a duration of 1 frame for each image, and in the sequence prefs you can select 24fps, 25fps, 30 f/s, or 29.97 f/sec, or whatever framerate you desire. To use this animation sequence in another "master" sequence, you simply drag the animation sequence's icon from the browser into the timeline of the "master" sequence. sb On 4/21/03 5:56 PM, "David Thrasher" <idave at earthlink.net> wrote: > I just want to be clear about what you are describing: Do these individual > images in a folder go in Final Cut Pro as a series of slides or as an > animation (each image becoming a single frame of a motion picture file).
