251 tiffs for animation
A client is going to send me 251 tiffs to include as an animation at the end of the clip I made for them.
Is there a simple way to drop these in the timeline and get this done? I figure to set the Still Duration at 1 frame. Assuming the tiffs are organized in chronoligical order, can I select all of them at once and drop them in the timeline so that they appear in the right order?

Yep, exactly as you describe. The TIF’s should already be numbered sequentially if it’s an animation rendered as a TIF sequence.
I suggest you create a Folder in your Browser to drop all the TIF’s in to.
One thing I’ve done in the past as well is to simply create a separate timeline just for the TIF sequence. Then export that as a self-contained movie so I have a full quicktime movie fully rendered for the main timeline.

Yes, you can. Just select and drag to the time-line. But don’t forget to increase the “Stills cache” in FC prefs.

A lot easier to use Motion as it will recognise image sequences, export to whatever you want from there.

Why not simply import in QT using the “open image secquence” option under ‘file’ Render the imageseq to a QT with codec of choice to maintain realtime playback.
just my 2cts.
