Sources for still images include:

• Digital cameras (including your Aperture Libraries)

• Scanners

• Freeze frames exported from Final Cut Pro

• Hand-drawn computer graphics created with a graphics application

All of your images should be the same dimensions, and should ideally match the
dimensions of your output format (for example, NTSC DV is 720 x 480, HD is 1920 x 1080
or 1280 x 720, and so on).

After you collect a group of still image files together in one folder, name them sequentially,
such as AbstractBackground0001.jpg, AbstractBackground0002.jpg, and so on. Then
import the files into Final Cut Pro following the steps for importing a numbered image
sequence.
