Premiere will not Select Image Sequence for animation

[Daniel29221650c8h7]

I despise this program and use it as a last resort. Spark it up to Adobes large size and continued ineptitude.

Current problem, I have 1857 images names CLIP 01_000002.jpg etc...

I am not able to get Premiere to select the image sequence to create an animation. It will select the first image, but will not import the entire set.

I never had these issues with the 2022 releases and prior. Since 2023 this program, like adobe in general has taken a dump on its users.

Any ideas?

The naming of the files can be critical. Place them in a folder and rename them so the first file has the name 0001.jpg, the second 0002.jpg, etc, etc. Try that and make sure that Image Sequence is checked in the import dialog.

[Daniel29221650c8h7]

im not sure how to do that without having to rename everyone manually. The batch renaming software will remove the sequencing. Any suggestons on how to rename them?

Naming your files is very important.

As mentioned earlier The Bridge does a wonderfull job in renaming, and keep it simple.

e.g. Clip0001.jpg, Clip0002.jpg

Don't need to start at 0001 as long as it sequential.

Its not working with even correclty named files. I did not have this issue yesterday and last week. The files are on Dropbox going to try and make them local. I widh Camtasia was more robust, I would never use this software again. garbage time,. sorry for the rant, thanks for any help.

Adobe Bridge can batch rename files.

This is the image name im using CLIP01_000002.jpg

Still will not work. Anyone? I hate this program when you are on a deadline and it has no way to work and be fixed.

Yes, and i wrote that it will work if you rename it from CLIP01_000002.jpg to 0001.jpg, assumig that CLIP01_000002.jpg in the first image in the sequence. Adobe Bridge can batch rename those files.

I did i test here and renamed 40 jpg files from 20240610-154620.jpg to 0001.jpg and 0002.jpg, etc, etc and when i open the import dialog and select 0001.jpg and then check the Image Sequence box and click Open it imports as expected into Premiere Pro as an Image Sequence.

I use Premiere Pro 24.6.1

I did a new test and if i name the first clip CLIP01_000002.jpg, the second clip CLIP02_000002.jpg, the third clip CLIP03_000002.jpg, etc, etc Premiere Pro will fail to import the files an a image sequence. 

So, you need it to be named such as ClipName-0001.jpg, ClipName-0002.jpg, ClipName-0003.jpg, etc, etc. Naming them as 0001-ClipName.jpg, 0002-ClipName.jpg, etc, etc wont work.

Try this method to import your image sequence:

1. Go to Window > Media Browser.
2. Click the context menu (the three lines) and enable Import as Sequence.
3. Then, go to File > Import and select the first image in the sequence, then click Import.
