Hey guys, I'm looking for a good tutorial on how to edit brick films in Adobe Premiere Pro. If you could post a link, that would be great!
Thanks!
Editing a brickfilm is just like editing a movie, expect you sequence the images (unless the images are already sequenced from your capture program). I've never used Premiere Pro, but....
Maybe if you gave us some more details on what you want to know we can help.
I'm just trying to figure out how to change the still image length and stuff like that. I've always edited brick films in vegas Pro, but since I switched over to Mac, I've been using Premiere Pro for my short films and etc. I just got to try it out I suppose.
Ah, that makes sense. Basically, I think you're looking for image sequencing. Here's a tutorial I found on that topic:

Like I said, I'm no Premiere expert, in fact, I've never used the software. I hope this helps. 
If you're just starting out with PP and have no experience with any other high end NLEs (FCP, Avid, Resolve, etc... ) I recommend reading the manual https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/topics.html and watching/reading some tutorials on all aspects of the software not just the ones that are directly related to brick-filming.
I personally recommend these guys; http://www.rippletraining.com/categorie … tutorials/

but there are also lots of tutorials at Lynda.com and Creative Cow
I use a really old version of Premiere so your may look a litter different but should operate mostly the same.
When importing clips select the first image in the sequence and make sure to check "Numbered Stills"
If you right click (or command click or whatever you mac users use to get contextual menus) you can rename the footage for something that makes more sense in the project and Interpret the footage to change the FSP of the footage
Just change the framerate to 15 or 12 or whatever you use
And when you use it in the timeline, don't forget to uncheck frame blending, frame blending is UGLY
If you import whitout image sequence, (every jpegs are seperate), than you can easily edit them also. first you choose your framerate of your sequence 24 or 30 for example.
- open your new sequence
- choose and move all your image to your sequence (it doesnt matter each one are 5 second or 1 frame) just do it.
- then in the sequence press ctrl+a (cmd+a for mac) for choose all jpegs.
-press right click on mouse
-in the menu there is a 'speed/duration' option, enter this
-then you see speed and duration option. write in duration just only 1 or 2 or 3 what you want.
- choose at the bottom 'Ripple editing,shifting' then say ok.
all jpeg in the sequence will be change what frame you want.
ps:if you open 30 frame rate sequence in the first, and you want to work with 15fps stop motion style, then you write 2 in duration option.
