Thought I'd add some comments that may be of interest, or may help others reading this...
Not sure of the workflow to achieve this, but I edit all the photos in Lightroom, correcting everything required on one, and syncing those changes to all the photos.
Then I resize these down to match the video size required in Premiere. This takes the resizing load off premiere, rather than bringing in hundreds of 16MP still images.
When loading these into Premiere, tick the box 'image sequence' and Premiere will load all your photos in as one clip.
You set the behaviour of this in the settings elsewhere, to dictate what framerate Premiere builds the clip at.
Adobe instructions for this:
Import images as an image sequence
You can import an animation contained in a single file, such as an animated GIF. You can also import a sequence of still-image files, such as a TIFF sequence, and automatically combine them into a single video clip; each still image becomes one frame of video. Importing a sequence is useful for animations exported as an image sequence by applications like After Effects. The images in the series cannot include layers. For information on layers and flattening, see the application’s documentation.
- Set the framerate for the still-image sequence. Select Edit > Preferences > Media (Windows), or Premiere Pro> Preferences > Media. Then, select a framerate from the Indeterminate Media Timebase menu. Click OK.
- Make sure that each still-image filename contains an equal number of digits at the end and has the correct file extension—for example, file000.bmp, file001.bmp, and so forth.
- Choose File > Import.
- Locate and select the first numbered file in the sequence, select Image Sequence, and click Open (Windows) or Import (Mac OS). When Image Sequence is selected, Premiere Pro interprets each of the numbered files as a single frame in a video clip.
Sometimes I'll resize to larger or wider than the Premiere timeline, as this allows a digital pan or tilt to be applied as the timelapse slideshow is playing, giving movement that wasn't there at the time of capture.
The starry night-time scene with the house in this video is an example of that technique.
