Sigh... I'm wondering if anyone at Aja ever has to actually sit and EDIT.
We just received our Aja Xena-based system back from ProMax where it was being repaired (I think there must be a time-warp between here and California, as our "48 hour service" took almost three weeks... but that's another issue).
Anywho, one of the MANY problems I was having was the inability to import many still images into PremierePro, they would come in as a sequence no matter what you did. Well, the XENA Version 2.6 seems to have fixed that...to a degree. I can now import a single file, as LONG AS IT IS NOT SEQUENTIALLY NAMED. Listed in their notes under "Resolved Issues" is "The XENA importer will look for other files with the same naming convention in the given directory. If it finds other files with the same naming convention it will import all the files as a video sequence rather than importing the single file as a still image."
"Resolved"? Well, Thanks for the solution, nimrods.
Does anyone have a workaround this?...other than the obvious, REnaming files without numbers? We have literally tens of thousands of graphics files that are NUMBERED. Seems to me that Aja is saying "You can check out any book in the library... but whichever one you pick, you have to also take home every other single book filed to the right of that one."
Not to be harsh, but their products sure seem to be designed by a bunch of engineers who have never had to sit and actually EDIT a project in their lives.
