Premiere Pro 2022 ignores timing of the frames in an imported GIF

It's not quite the same but instead of exporting a GIF from photoshop you can go File>Export>Render Video.  This will then work as expected in Premiere.

Hunter,

To add to what Caroline said, in my experience, using GIF files as a source for a video project is not ideal. Usually, a file with frames attached to every frame in a 24 fps clip (or whatever the native frame rate is) is the only reliable thing to use. You might try importing the GIF as a PNG image sequence and use that as your source. Would that work? What else have you tried?

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi Hunter!

My colleague Caroline wrote the following response:

Premiere's sequence settings don't allow variability of frame rate. The app is designed for usual video playback, so it's always going to treat every frame equally. The only thing I can think of right now would be to make a cut after the first frame, extend it to 5 seconds. Then cut the following 5 frames so they're all individual clips! Select all 5, right-click to select "Speed/Duration..." and set the duration to however many frames .06 seconds is. Probably around 2 frames each, so your Speed/Duration window would look like this! Could you post the gif here on the Community so we can see it? The correct one out of Photoshop.

Thanks,
Kevin
