3). Next, select (CMD/CTRL+A), copy (CMD/CTRL+C) and paste (CMD/CTRL+V) all of the images into the first image in the sequence. Ensure the images are present in the correct order, starting at the first image being Layer 0 or 1 (however you wish to label them) and the last being layer layer 6 or 8. 
4). Select Window, Timeline and then create video timeline.
5). Drag the images into the timeline and adjust all clips to last 5 frames in a staggered manner.
