Turning Images In Video In Premiere Cs3?

[Davetrials]

Im trying to turn a series of 50 images in to a movie clip on premiere, the problem is when i import all 50, it turns them in to one long 5minute clip, ive tried speeding them up by 1000% but i'm sure that isn't right, even if i do that i can still only get the video down to 15 seconds.

is there a way to manipulate each image and change how long it plays for? i've never used cs3 before so its all a bit of a blur

hope that makes sense guys

thanks in advance

If you zoom in on the timeline itself, you can change the actual length of each clip by dragging the start/end line of the clip. It applies a standard Xsec long thing to each clip when you just drag it to the timeline, so that's why it's that length.

Ive tried this, but its just one long giant clip

How are you importing the files? I'd try just selecting them all from outside of premiere and then dragging them into it. This definitely keeps the import settings basic and should keep the files separate. At least that's how it's always worked for me.

What file format are you importing? What happens when you import the files into premiere individually; using the your current method?

Oh yeah and you can razor the clips by selecting that tool from the tiny box with several other symbols which is usually found to the right of the timeline. Once razored, choose a segement and then right click, select "duration" and adjust the time of that segment to what you want. You can reduce the duration to a single frame which would allow 50 images to make as little as 2 seconds.
