To examine a clip before adding it to the project:

Importing still images
You can import individual still images, or convert a numbered sequence of still images into
a single animation as you import (see “Importing an animation or still-image sequence” on
page 124). When you import an individual still image, it uses the duration specified in the
dialog box that appears when you choose File > Preferences > General/Still Image. You can
change the duration of a still image after you import it.
