Set the duration of still images
When you import still images and flimsies, you will need to ensure the settings for still images align with your intentions for production. The default duration in Premiere is 5 seconds, which is fine for a documentary filmmaker who might use photographs for a film but not ideal for an animator. You can easily change the duration of still images, and you might do so a few times with a given project. Nonetheless, you will have to make sure its correct before you import images in this case and check the software preferences.
- Apple Macintosh: Referring to the Main Menu, go to Premiere Pro > Preferences > Timeline > Still Image Default Duration.
- Windows: Referring to the Main Menu, go to Edit > Preferences > Timeline > Still Image Default Duration.
- Enter the correct value:
- “2 frames,” if you intend to utilize single image files as double frames at 24 frames per second
- “1 frame,” if you intend to utilize single image files as single frames at 24 frames per second
