Import image sequences (Photoshop Extended)

When you import a folder of sequenced image files, each image becomes a frame in a video layer.

  1. Make sure that the image files are in one folder and are named sequentially.

    The folder should contain only those images you want to use as frames. The resulting animation will be more successful if all files have the same pixel dimensions. To order frames correctly for the animation, name the files in alphabetical or numeric order. For example, filename001, filename002, filename003, and so forth.

  2. Do one of the following:
    • To open an image sequence directly, choose File > Open.

    • To import an image sequence into an open document, choose Layer > Video Layers > New Video Layer From File.

  3. In the Open dialog box, navigate to the folder with image sequence files.
  4. Select one file, choose the Image Sequence option, and then click Open.
    Note: Selecting more than one file in an image sequence disables the Image Sequence option.
