Import Node
 
 
 

Use the Import node to access the Import Image module, where you can import images and clips directly into Batch. Once imported, the item's start and end frames can be set.

To import images into Batch:

  1. In the node bin, select the Import node and drag it to the schematic.

    The Import Image menu and file browser appear.

  2. In the Import Image menu, select the file type you want to import from the File Type box.
  3. In the file browser, select the file(s) you want to import.
  4. Click Load.

    You return to Batch and the filename and file type of the image you import appear in the schematic. The filename and path appear in the message bar when you click the image. Detailed information about the image is displayed below the message bar.
