Use these options to select how clip media is handled on import.
- Channels box
-
Select the channels that you want to import. If the image has an alpha channel, you can load it with the image as is or inverted.
Select: |
To load: |
RGB |
The image with no alpha channel. |
RGBA |
The image and its alpha channel. Two clips are created: the first clip contains the RGB image, and the second clip contains
the alpha channel image. If the image does not contain an alpha channel, a single clip is created.
|
RGBA Inverted |
The image and its alpha channel (inverted). Two clips are created: the first clip contains the RGB image, and the second clip
contains the greyscale inverted alpha channel image.

- Load Method box
-
Select the method used to load images, whether a clip, sequences, or frames.
Select: |
To load: |
One Clip |
All selected images into a single clip. |
Sequences |
All selected sequences and individual images into separate clips. Note that selected images in a sequence are loaded as one
clip.

Frames |
All selected images into separate, one-frame clips. |
- Repeat button
-
Enable when you want to repeat a single frame for a given duration. Regardless of the load option, you can set the number
of times the frame is repeated by entering a value in the Repeat field.
- Matte Container button
-
When enabled, creates a matte container to store the image and its matte. Matte Container is active when Channels is set to
RGBA or RGBA Inverted.
- Step Factor field
-
Specifies the number of frames that you want to skip when importing a selection of images (which may or may not be part of
a sequence). For example, a step factor of two imports every second frame. A step factor of one imports all frames.
- Repeat field
-
Enter a value for the number of times that you want to repeat a single frame for a given clip. This field is active when the
Repeat button is enabled.

-
When enabled, images are soft-imported at full resolution. If your project settings include proxies, then proxies are generated
also.
- Proxy Import button
-
When enabled, allows the available proxies, matching the criteria set in the Proxy Import settings, to be imported.
