Importing Still Images For Animation

Is there a way to change this option?

Options > Preferences > Editing: the New still image length (seconds)

Can it be changed to a number of frames instead of a period of time? I work in animation and generally get better results by importing a series of PNGs. I usually work with a frame rate of 24 and it would be easier to just set the "New Still Image Length" to 1 frame.

Working with seconds .042 per image seems to work okay, but if I ever have to work at 30 fps I'm going to have to do more math.... I really hate math.

If the images are numbered consecutively, you can import an image sequence. The timeline will treat it as a video file.

Yea, you want to import them as an Image Sequence. Once you select that, Movie Studio will ask you for the frame rate and import them as a video using 1 png per frame.
