Comments.Text: What do you mean by 'insert'? Do you want a slideshow where you see one of the images at a time filling the entire screen? Or some kind of collage? And how many images are we talking about, 100 or 10.000?

Comments.Text: @MoritzLost Number of pictures is around 250 and the length of the movie is 120 minutes. the entire screen will be fine also collage or any effects. Just adding 250 photos one by one can be quite time consuming and that's why I'm hoping there is an easier way!

Comments.Text: @HansMeiser Sorry if the question is not clear. I don't need a script or anything like that. Just want to have these images in the movie (fullscreen or some random effects). Adding 250 pictures one by one can be a bit time consuming hence I'm asking if there's any easy way. Thanks

Comments.Text: Ah OK, so something like the thing that is strangely referred to as the "Ken burns" effect - strange because I think he is pretty unknown in Europe. There is a 3rd party preset for after effects, if you got that as well: http://www.proloststore.com/products/burns  alternative you can animate a couple of images yourself in premiere, save those animations on keyframes and drop it on the image sequence you created from your photos.
