Adobe Premiere Pro Framerate increases video time play length

[smileBeda]

So either I am thick, or PP is.

1. I have 1057 still images

2. I have set a framerate of 30fps, each image duration shall be 1s

3. According my math, that gives me a video of ca. 35s lenght: 1057/30=35

Yet, PP creates a video that is over an hour long. 
When I export, I get the chance of further altering the FPS.
If I _increase_ them, the video lenght increases?!?!! 
If I _decrease_ FPS the video length _decreases_?!?!?

What nonsense is this?

Perhaps I fully misunderstand what FPS are, but in my understaning it is FRAME per SECOND. Thus, IMAGES per SECOND

So if I tell it to import 1057 images, with a setting of 30FPS, it should IMO just already, natively, create a video of approx 35 seconds.

What do I miss?

Thanks!

It's not nonsense, your math is incorrect.

Frame per second is not the same as one image per second.

1057 stills set at 1 second (you can do this in the project window before adding to the timeline) will give you a movie that is 1057 seconds (17,6 min) regardless of the framerate set in the sequence settings.

If you want every image to be one frame (in a 30 fps sequence) then yes the movie will be 35 second.

You need to set the image not to 1 second but to 1 frame.

Or a much easier way is to import the images as an Image Sequence (this will import every image as one frame)

Images need to be sequential,

Select first image,

Check Image Sequence,

Hit OK.

That's what I actually did, import as "image sequences"

images are numbered 00000 to 001057

although I selected all images. Will try again by selecting just one, but I'm sure it then imported just one image 😕, as I tried that as first thing.

will try again...

If choosing `Still image transition duration` > `Frames` you cannot set it lower than 2

Now why is that?

Most likely because you cannot add a double sided transition on 1 frame.

Import the image as you outline, choosing ONE, there is no "image sequence" checkbox.
There is only a toggle "Create new sequence"
If I select one, toggle that on, import, it imports one only image.
Of course, since only one is selected.

Why is that? The versions of PP do not seem the same, see my screenshot

Skip the import tab and open the import feature in the edit tab.
