Ed, I’m importing with the add project media -sequence option(the checkbox on the bottom), Vegas then selects the files according to sequence number – it’s something like name_001.tga, name_002.tga, etc.
I tried files ranging from 1024×768 to 640×480.
I had some success by selecting only a few dozen of the pics, but the subsequent import doesn’t cover the whole effect. It was still hit or miss even then. The fault message says “error, Metafile(something or other) unable to open”, and lists all the pics not opened. UJ
