3. In the Open dialog box, navigate to the folder with image sequence files.

4. Select one file, choose the Image Sequence option, and then click Open.

Selecting more than one file in an image sequence disables the Image Sequence option.

5. Specify the frame rate, and click OK.

Place a video or image sequence

In Photoshop CS6 or Photoshop Extended CS5, use the Place command if you want to transform the video or image sequence as you import it
into a document. Once placed, the video frames are contained within a Smart Object. When video is contained by a Smart Object, you can
navigate through the frames using the Animation panel, and you can also apply Smart Filters.

You can’t paint or clone directly on video frames contained by a Smart Object. However, you can add a blank video layer above the Smart

Object, and paint on the blank frames. You can also use the Clone tool with the Sample All Layers option to paint on blank frames. This lets you
use the video in the Smart Object as a cloning source.

1. With a document open choose File > Place.

2. In the Place dialog box, do one of the following:

Select a video file and click Place.

Select one image sequence file, select the Image Sequence option, and then click Place.

Make sure all the image sequence files are in one folder.

3. (Optional) Use the control points to scale, rotate, move, or warp the imported content.

4. Click the Commit Transform button in the options bar to place the file.

You can also place video directly from Adobe Bridge. Select the video file and then choose File > Place > In Photoshop.

Reload footage in a video layer

If the source file for a video layer is modified in a different application, Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop Extended CS5 generally reloads and
updates the footage, when you open the document containing the video layer referencing the changed source file. If your document is already
open and the source file has been modified, use the Reload Frame command to reload and update the current frame in the Animation panel.
Navigating through the video layer using the Previous/Next Frame or Play button in the Animation panel should also reload and update the
footage.

Replace footage in a video layer

Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop Extended CS 5 tries to maintain the link between the video layer and source file even if you move or rename the
source. If the link breaks for some reason, an alert icon

appears on the layer in the Layers panel. To relink the video layer to the source file,

use the Replace Footage command. This command can also replace the video or image sequence frames in a video layer with frames from a
different video or image sequence source.

1. In the Animation (Photoshop Extended CS5), Timeline (CS6), or Layers panel, select the video layer that you want to relink to the source file

or to replace the content.
