If you have a sequence of still images that you wish to load as a single clip then this help page will tell you how.

As with loading an AVI or project you first click the "Load" button at the top of the screen.

You will see the following open file dialog, from which you need to navigate to the directory location of the image sequence you wish to load. In this example my images are in a directory called "pattern" and range from "02.bmp" through to "07.bmp". Therefore there are 6 images in this sequence.
Select any one of the images in this sequence and load as you would load any still image.

FadeToBlack will automatically detect that there is a sequence of images relating to the image you selected.
You be given two options here. You can choose you load the sequence of images by clicking "Load Sequence" or you can choose to just load the single image, by clicking "Ignore". Since in this example we do wish to load the sequence of images we click "Load Sequence".

The images will now load in order and form a video clip. Since we had 6 images in our sequence, our video clip consists of 6 frames.
