tiff stills imported as sequence
-
If you get any input into the process, make sure that any still images do not have any repeat names and numbers in them unless they are an image sequence.
-
From a Resolve point of view, that’s a good idea, though every decent stills (and video) naming structure I know has a number sequence at the end. I suspect it’s something I’m just going to have to deal with for the time being.

Put the number at the beginning?
-
Or use file renaming software to add text at the end so it doesn’t look like a numbered sequence
-
Far from ideal, but could do. Or adding unnecessary characters at the end could do it too.

I came upon the same problem again today, and after reading through this thread found my solution, which IS NOT by renaming, not only did that not work, the TIFFs were still imported as a sequence, but would have been time consuming. No, the solution is to check “Show Individual Frames”, that option is in the 3 little dots at the top right of the Media Storage page. You then need to import the files by selecting the contents of each folder, folder by folder. If you import a folder, its contents will be imported as a sequence, but if you import the files, (you can select all the file in one folder and import them at once), and then you import your XML, (without importing the media), it will relink to the TIFF files in your media storage.

My method by renaming files is, that I always put a constant number at the end and the next needs to be a non numerical character. My individual images files are all named with “-0” at the end. Like
YYYY-MM-DD_hh-mm_xxxx-0.tif
2020-01-30_12-20_0001-0.tif
2020-01-30_12-27_0002-0.tif
2020-01-30_12-35_0003-0.tif
2020-01-30_12-35_0004-0.tifxxxx is the original sequential number of the camera.
In this case i can Drag and Drop from wherever I want. Even if there was a camera burst, it will not formed in a sequence by this method. JPG and DNG also works well.
