These are a series of animation shots -- =A0in one example, 360 frames tota= l in a folder and I need to import 14 of them as one particular scene and s= hot.

It appears I cannot select a sub-set of the files in a folder for import as= a sequence and force alphabetical order. It always wants to import the who= le folder of files as the sequence in spite of my selection. Do I have to p= lace each specific scene and shot in its own folder to be able to force alp= habetical order? Or what am I missing here?

If the online help talks specifically about this I've missed it.

Thanks much,

James
