Importing a Still Image

You can import a still image and assign it a duration. When you import a still image, the image is placed in a layer and its duration is set to the duration of the composite.

To import a still image:

1. In the Workspace panel, double-click the composite into which you want to import footage.
2. Choose File | Import Footage.

The Import Footage file browser appears.

3. Navigate to the folder containing the clip you want to import, select the image, and then click OK.
4. If the image is part of a sequence, make sure you disable the Collapse button.

A new layer containing the selected file appears in the Workspace panel and the footage appears in the current viewport.

For information on viewing layers in the timeline, see Navigating in the Timeline Hierarchy.
