Scouring the internet for a good solid 20 minutes and this is exactly what I needed to see to understand how to not view my time lapse as individual clips. THANK YOU!
literally could have skipped the whole tutorial if this frame 1:53 was the thumbnail. got love when UA-camrs make a 4 minute tutorial out of a single frame answer. tbh though still thanks it did do the job even if it was longer than I need it to be.
I have a quicktip if you're using file extensions that do NOT have any semantics, like; 'slow_mo_0000' would work in Davinci Resolve's media importer. But if you have NON-VERBOSE filenaming in place, like '0000.exr' like in my case, Davinci Resolve will NOT import that single frame! So your file-naming is important, and you can test this "theory" of mine in your Davinci Resolve. But you can also FIX IT and here's how; just append those 'zer0-files' with an '-i' to flag they are the 'initial' frame of the sequence. Davinci Resolve will nicely put that file before '0001.exr' as it is picked as a 'higher order number'. So that's how you can solve the problem of "zero" in math, by using imaginary numbers called "letters"
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I'm using Resolve 18.6, but I managed to figure out how to follow along. Now I can upload higher quality animations thanks to you!
I got stuck on this too! Check which workspace you are on. At the very bottom of the window, you have several tabs, 'Media', 'Cut', 'Edit' etc. Mine defaults to the 'Cut' workspace, which does not have the three dots, but as soon as I changed it over to the 'Media' workspace, I was able to find this option and it immediatelly imported it as a sequence. Bit late, but thought I'd mention it in case it still helps someone else!
I'm on a Mac Sonoma 14.2.1 did exactly what you did, the files remain single images, I need a sequence. DR Studio 18.6.4 Build 6. Is there somewhere a secret setting totally enabling/disabling this?
Hi JayAre, I figured it out. The file naming is crucial. I first renamed my files from LNNNNNNN.JPG (Leica, where N stands for the image number out of camera) into LNNNNNNN_S0000.JPG to LNNNNNNN_S2400.JPG. That is not accepted. It must have format {alpha}{sequencenumber}.jpg
Both the image sequence and the original audio track are at 29.97 FPS....but one is always longer than the other. What am I doing wrong? .... Can someone help me to figure this out?
If you want to import a gif to DR, this is the way! Make sure your gif is in individual frames! This was perfect for me to import stuff from aseprite to do some video editing with pixel art!
Great tutorial and well explained! I love Davinci but this one thing is not intuitive at all. 😅 No way I would've figured out myself I've got open the tiny 3 dots in the corner of Media mode to change "frame display mode", haha.
This will only work if the imagenumbering is like 0001.jpg, 0002.jpg, 0003.jpg. If your images are from a timed sequence which takes every 5 seconds 1 frame, and the image name is the time it was recorded, it does NOT work. You have to rename all images somehow.
I have an idea for a video id like to see. How to take a video clip and export it as an image sequence so I could work on each frame in photoshop that make it into a video again.
Thanks! Very helpful video! I did not know that you could select the way to view an image sequence. I ended up with hundreds of single images most of the time. When on automatic it sometimes worked...
Ok.. for some reson i see my images as Clips not Files and i don thave that option to make them a image sequence... EDIT: just noticed i was not in Media Mode... It works in it as expected
Hey great Tutorial. But i hope you can help me :) im struggling with the first thing. All my images are seperate and my Interface is looking a bit different so i have not this 3 dots where you clicked to change the frame display mode. Pls Pls help me
Hi! I was struggling with the same silly thing, in the bottom bar you can see different modes, in the video he's on "Media", by default Resolve opens on "Cut", that's why we coudn't see those 3 dots :)
2:28 this did absolutely nothing... Looked at my files and realized Photoshop named it like "FILENAME_0000_Layer00.png" so I guess if photoshop did that, delete the "_Layer00" part cuz those numbers are asynchronous for me at least. So leaving this if anyone else has a similar problem. Also you do this in the media tab.
the 3 dots arent in 18.6, cant find a tutorial that covers it. for a popular program there sure is very little documentation 😂 now its sort, refresh, source clip, source tape, timeline safe area, to the right of the "search" field edit: nvm figured it out, by default davinci loads in on the wrong tab. needed to switch to the media tab. why do they have it starting on the cut tab? 😂 im dead haha.
thank you brother ! now just need to find how to setup voukoder to woth with davinci resolve and export as Prores 4444 QX :D somehow after folowing all steps I still cant see option in export window
How can they not have a simple png sequence importer is just beyond belief. Any other softwares understand it is a sequence when you point at directory filled with .png containing the same file naming.
its in the settings. default is to individual frames but can be set as auto. auto will automatically do what your upset about. Why its not set to default is the real question lol
Thanks for your vide, Jay. I have a question. I'd like to know how to make scrolling effect of a phone screen, or of a website showcase, or even scrolling down a document file, let's say it's a PDF file and you want scroll down through the pages. It'd appreciated if you could give me link for such tutorial, or maybe make one yourself.(I tried to find but I couldn't find this one among your videos) with regards. 🙏
Scouring the internet for a good solid 20 minutes and this is exactly what I needed to see to understand how to not view my time lapse as individual clips. THANK YOU!
and how it works in 18.1 ? my layout is completly differend and i cant find this options
So how do you import it as sequence ?
I dont get it
If you can't see the drop-down menu for the "Frame Display Mode" just switch to the "Media" tab at the bottom of the page.
@@tobiaslachmann8184 You are welcome! 🙂
This is the step that was missing from every video I watched. Solved the confusion. Thanks!
No Problem! @@cinemight
I have watched multiple clips, and none of them explained this. Thank you so much!
@@mariusg8824No problem! :)
Aaaaaaah, BMD... The masters at making the easiest things needlessly complicated!

i don't have the icon to access frame display mode , total noob in resolve but omg how can it be so difficult to import a png seq @12fps ....?
had the same problem lad, go to the workspace tab then switch to page and then select media.
If the sequence has more than 1000 images, it will split them, that's annoying. Is there a setting to disable this?
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I'm using Resolve 18.6, but I managed to figure out how to follow along. Now I can upload higher quality animations thanks to you!
in davinci resolve 18.5 the interface looks different. I don't have that triple dot option.
I got stuck on this too! Check which workspace you are on. At the very bottom of the window, you have several tabs, 'Media', 'Cut', 'Edit' etc. Mine defaults to the 'Cut' workspace, which does not have the three dots, but as soon as I changed it over to the 'Media' workspace, I was able to find this option and it immediatelly imported it as a sequence. Bit late, but thought I'd mention it in case it still helps someone else!
Oh man I was struggling with that sequence being treated as a bunch of single pictures... Thanks !
The same!
this worked the first time but now that i do it, even after putting it to sequence, it still doesnt put it as one?
Surprised so many are saying how much this video answers their issue but this doesn't actually work in 18 this way
Still lost, how did you import the sequence?
My layout looks nothing like that. I can't find that drop down your using.
Switch to the "Media" tab at the bottom of the screen.

you are a living god man thanks
Thought I could do this on dr17 but just over 2 min in I'm realizing I don't have a frame display mode or a sequence option on the media tab.
Switch to the "Media" tab at the bottom of the screen.
Great job, I just made a video with 700 photos, I can see how this will help with timelaps too.
It's obvious, but I spent a lot of time try figuring it out. You opened my eyes. Thank you!!!
Perfect, did exactly what I needed, thank you!
When I click sequence, it doesn't make a file for me. Nothing happens.
Both the image sequence and the original audio track are at 29.97 FPS....but one is always longer than the other. What am I doing wrong? .... Can someone help me to figure this out?

still not working ..
i have davinci 18 but no windows have the tricolon to select a frame view mode.
This gets exactly to the point and makes it easy for even a toddler to understand. Great job on the video man!
I have an idea for a video id like to see. How to take a video clip and export it as an image sequence so I could work on each frame in photoshop that make it into a video again.

Thank you, best!
This was perfect fixed my importing of sequences THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!
Thank you so much! I don't think I would be able to figure this one out on my own without you're help here. Definitely giving this video a like.
Right so ABC0000 u have to choose 'sequence' and ABC_0000 you don't have to do that it already understands. Right. Got it. Makes sense. Right.
Awesome, saved a lot of time figuring this out! Thanks!
import an image sequence with filename that are not sequential?
Hey great Tutorial. But i hope you can help me :) im struggling with the first thing. All my images are seperate and my Interface is looking a bit different so i have not this 3 dots where you clicked to change the frame display mode. Pls Pls help me

@@aitorc2643 Thank you
THIS NO LONGER WORKS. In 18.6, there is no "Frame Display Mode" option in the three dots menu anymore.
Thank you so much! it worked so easily!
thank you for saving us tons of time.
Wonderful. Cheers.
Frame display mode where are the 3 dots??????? they been moved!!!
Finally I've got that . Thank You
So that would apply to DNG files as well. Just make them a sequence instead of an individual.
Skip to 2:28
My man. Thanks so much!!!! Extremely helpful.
This did defenitely not work. All my .jpg are treated as seperate videos...
Very cool, may I ask for tutorials for doing compositing withing Da Vincia Resolve? Compositing for overlaying different animations?
Great!
Brilliant ! Many thanks
Great help. Was going bald pulling my hair out.

Thanks man, your video helped me👍

You're welcome
I knew there was one little button hiding somewhere! Thank you so much dude! It’s the little things…
Thanks man!
thanks

On the edit page you would keyframe the transform position settings.
nice. I didn't know how to change a frame rate
It starts on 2:25. You welcome.
Thank you so much!
I am wonder every time how black magic could make such user unlogic import for sequences
Thank you so much
no longer helps. the ui layout has changed
this video could've been 30 seconds long
this should have been a 10 second video dude
Thank you 👍
Saved me much
thank you:)
Thanks allot 🍀
You're welcome 😊
There's nothing like this in Davinci resolve
Cool, thanks,+1 sub
Solved a big issue I was facing
Noice
Very helpful
