Posted by Steve Harrington on February 13, 2007 at 6:11 pmAny particular reason photoshop documents are coming in as sequences?

Flatten the image in Photoshop if you dont want this behavior. -

February 13, 2007 at 7:04 pmA layered Photoshop file will import as a sequence to allow manipulation of the individual layers with filters or any other FCP special effect, just like a video sequence. This is especially good for graphics where you don’t want some parts of the graphic to be visible right away, but perhaps appear or fade in over time. If you don’t want your image to be imported as a sequence I believe you can flatten the image first in Photoshop before you import it.

February 13, 2007 at 8:40 pmit works that way when the photoshop document is in layers. If you flatten the image, it will act like a clip. When you double click on the PSD, and it has layers, you will notice that it comes up as a sequence with the individual layers on separate tracks. The image will do this even if it is only one layer, but will act like a clip if you FLATTEN IT IN PHOTOSHOP. I had the same experience, and finally figured it out. If you import the images as Jpegs or tiffs, they will work like a clip and open in the browser rather than making a new sequence.
good luck
