Import File Dialogue Box
Posted by Erin Patrick on May 27, 2009 at 7:21 pmDoes anyone know of a plugin or a script that will show image sequences as one collapsed unit in the “Import File” dialogue box (as opposed to separate files), similar to other software?
Thanks for any input.

May 28, 2009 at 3:28 pmNo, I’m not having any trouble with importing or anything – I’m just tired of looking at 3000 files and trying to find the right sequence in AE when I can see them as separate sequences in other software. I thought someone might be able to point me to a plugin that worked this out.
Thanks anyway for the response.

July 28, 2014 at 7:50 pmI agree with you on the file organization, Dave.
However, it would be nice to see Adobe implement something along the lines of what Shake does. On import it gives you a check box in the dialog to show sequences as groups. Looking at “ShadowPass_00000-03000.tif” is much better than having to scroll through hundreds of files to find my shadow pass. Not to mention you can import more than 1 sequence at a time.
