See if selected item is an image sequence

[Dan Ebberts]

I can’t think of a simple way. I can think of a somewhat convoluted way that might work, depending on your circumstances.

You could look at the file extension to determine if it’s a file type that would either be a still or a sequence (.jpg, .psd, .tif, etc.). Then you could check footage.mainSource.isStill for false, which should indicate a sequence (I’m guessing).

Or maybe you could just look for the “[001-xxx]” in the file name.

Let us know if you find something better.

I found a piece of code that imported the mainSource-file and checked if it’s a movie or a still image. Worked perfect for me!

var importFile = File(app.project.selection[0].mainSource.file);
var importOptions = new ImportOptions(importFile);
var theImport = app.project.importFile(importOptions);
if (theImport.mainSource.isStill) alert("it's a still");
else alert("it's a movie");
theImport.remove();
