Davinci Resolve Import Image Sequence

If you're working with any kind of animation, Instagram content or time-lapse photography, importing those images as an image sequence is the best way to import bulk media. It's the easiest way to edit those images as a single video clip, so you can see how everything flows together.

How to Import Image Sequence in DaVinci Resolve

Can I import image sequence in DaVinci Resolve? Yes, here's how:

  1. Go to the Media Page in DaVinci Resolve (shortcut Shift+2). From there, open up the Media Storage window and click on the three dots at the top of the window. This will bring up a drop-down menu.
  2. From the drop-down menu, select "Frame Display Mode" and then select "Individual". This will ensure that each image file is displayed as an individual frame, rather than as a group of frames.

Now, when you import a bulk set of image files into DaVinci Resolve, they will automatically be imported as an image sequence. You can easily drag and drop the sequence into your timeline and start editing away (but don't forget this)!

This method saves you the hassle of having to manually select each individual frame and import them one by one. It's a quick and efficient way to get your image sequences up and running in in your DaVinci timeline.

Considering the fact that you're working with image sequences in DaVinci, here are some free extensions for DaVinci Resolve that can help you speed up your workflow. Just bear in mind that you'll need an Elementstm subscription to download them.
