Importing image sequences

Existing image sequences can used as a starting point for creating a new Flipbook or added as new frames into an existing Flipbook. 

Starting a new Flipbook from an existing set of images

Tips before you get started:

• Images should be within the maximum canvas size of 13 MPX
  • If the image sequence is larger, Sketchbook Pro will attempt to scale down and resample.
    
  • The new Flipbook will be the same width and height as an imported sequence
• Supported image formats
  • PNG, JPG or BMP
  • Layered PSD images will be flattened on import
• The number of images cannot exceed the maximum frame count of 1000
• Animation or sequential stills should be named with an ordered number suffix.
  • Images without a naming system will imported based on alpha numeric order.
• Image sequences will always be loaded as the first layer of each keyframe.

Import a sequence as a new Flipbook:

• From the menu bar, go to File > New Flipbook > New Flipbook From Image Sequence. 
• Use File Explorer/Finder to navigate to the folder with the sequential images all images to import
  • SHIFT select multiple ordered images
  • CTRL/CMD to select unordered set of images
• Tap Open to import sequence

Import a sequence into an existing Flipbook

If you have images you want to add to a Flipbook, use Add Images as Frames.

• Ensure you are actively in your Flipbook file (.skba), on the frame you would like to import to.
• Select File > Add Images as Frames.
  • In File Explorer/Finder, select the images you want to import.
    • On Windows, ensure Image Sequence option at the bottom of the browser is unchecked. This option would create a new Flipbook file instead of importing to the open file.
• Tap Open.
