Subject: [AE] sequence import newbie help
I've never really needed to import sequences before, and I'm a bit confus= ed on how to handle importing a sequence of stills that are in order numeri= cally but the numbering itself is not contiguous (i.e., we had to delete so= me of the in-between frames).

These are a series of animation shots = -- in one example, 360 frames total in a folder and I need to import = 14 of them as one particular scene and shot.

It appears I cannot sel= ect a sub-set of the files in a folder for import as a sequence and force a= lphabetical order. It always wants to import the whole folder of files as t= he sequence in spite of my selection. Do I have to place each specific scen= e and shot in its own folder to be able to force alphabetical order? Or wha= t am I missing here?

If the online help talks specifically about thi= s I've missed it.

Thanks much,

James
