  • Image Sequences — Doesn’t Recognize…

    Posted by Lu Nelson on January 5, 2006 at 8:58 am

    Well, I searched and found a number of posts by people who were trying to get Motion to STOP importing numbered files as sequences; but I actually WANT it to do this and it won’t. Is there a file naming convention for this?

    Whether the image sequence button is on or off in the Motion browser makes no difference. Sequentially numbered jpg files keep appearing as single files….

    THX in advance…

    Hey Lu,

    Can you give us an example of your naming syntax? i.e. filename.XXXX.tif

    Well, an example file in the series would be named something like:

    xxx-xxxxxx-xxxx_01.jpg (and so on…)

    but I’ve also tried it just as:

    xxxxxxxxx-01.jpg (and so on…)

    and no luck with either.
