Adding a still-image sequence

This feature is available only in the full version of Vegas software.

If you’ve exported a video clip as a still-image sequence using another application (a 3D-rendering application, for example), the sequence can be added to the Project Media window and treated as a single media file. Each image in the sequence will be displayed for one frame in the event.

1.Click the Import Media button () in the Project Media window. The Import Media dialog appears.

2.Choose the folder where the sequence you want to open is stored.

3.Select the first image in the sequence (or the image you want to start the event).

4.Select the Open still-image sequence check box.

5.In the Range field, enter the number of the last image you want to open. For example, if you'd selected AnimationOne_00001.tga in step 3, you could enter 120 in this box to create a new image sequence using AnimationOne_00001.tga to AnimationOne_00120.tga.

6.Click Open. The still-image sequence is added to the Project Media window.

Sorting media with bins

The detailed view of the Project Media window helps you sort your media files using their attributes, but for more control, you can create bins. Bins are folders within projects that you can use to organize your media files.

Media bins are virtual folders that are saved with your project. They do not affect the way media is saved on your computer.

Creating bins

Right-click the parent bin where you want to create a new bin and choose Create New Bin from the shortcut menu.
