[Brad Leigh] “Does a folder import act as a single clip in vegas?”
Yes it does and here’s the procedure.
File – Import – Media, browse to the folder where the images are, click on the first one in the sequence, click “Open still image sequence” at the bottom of this window, click Open, make any necessary adjustments in the tab that comes up and click OK.
The sequence will now be sitting in your Project Media waiting to be added to the timeline.
“Does it bog vegas down?”
Not that I’ve noticed.
“are the folder sizes going to get just insane?”
Odds are that doing it this way will be smaller than making it into an AVI or MOV file.
All I have at home for a reference is an SD project (300 TGA images) and it’s 40 MB. in size.
