Re: Import File Dialogue Box

You have three THOUSAND different image sequences, displayed as three THOUSAND image sequence icons, in a single AE Project? That's a whole lot of footage, no matter how you slice it!

You'd have the same problems with three thousand pieces of ANY kind of footage -- it isn't limited just to image sequences.


Hmmm.... wait a minute.... it occurs to me that may also be saying that you have various image sequences -- about 3000 total image files -- but these sequences are all in one folder, and you're having difficulty finding the first image of a given sequence.

If that's the case, it's simply a matter of lousy organization on your part. Each image sequence should be in its own separate folder. I deal with image sequences all the time in my station's graphics package from Hothaus Graphics, a well-known broadcast design outfit. That's how they keep things straight.
