Importing Image Sequences

PostFri Jan 05, 2018 2:56 pm

I can't find a way to import image sequence.
All is good which ends with a number frame like: Filename.FrameNumber.exr but some render passes has added pass names at the end so I can't load them without renaming, but.. don't want to rename them as it will be a mess later on and anyway it's extra step to make.
What to do with sequences that has Filename.FrameNumber.PassName.exr

Fusion just expects the frame number to be right before the extension.
Maybe you can create a ifl file. Which is a image file list. Where each line stands for a frame to load

Fusion can read these .ifl files

Okay, .ifl thing is amazing, so answer to myself and maybe someone who ended up searching for answers:

On linux you can quickly generate a file with all the sequence. Small example:
you have bunch of files: (ABC is a pass name)
Code: Select all
YourAmazingFilm.0001.ABC.png

Just cd to the directory, and write this:
Code: Select all
ls *ABC* >> YourAmazingFilm_ABC.ifl

ls commad lists files
** filters a phrase in this situation is a pass name.
>> does all the magic
and you have generated file that Fusion understands and loads sequence.
