Re: [AE] [OT] Working with still sequences This is the reason for sure. OSX is terrible at this! Even previewing a folder in the finder can take an age.

You may also run into issues with numbered sequences that go over 9999 frames. When I import anything over 10000 frames AE seems to mix up the frames badly so I automatically split the footage into folders.

I don't know if that's still the case, but the Mac's file system used to really bog down when too many files were in one folder. A very long still image sequence was one such case. Short of re-exporting as a movie (which is what I would do), you could try breaking the sequence up into individual folders, and then append the shorter sequences together. Don't know if that would fix it, but that's what I would try, FWIW.

good luck -

I have a 14 minute sequence exported as a TIFF sequence. Trying to compile this with the mastered audio and working with the still sequence is very very slow. Importing into QuickTime, FinalCut or Premier causes hugely excessive lag times as the program processes every frame.

Is there a way to optimise this process short of exporting a flattened QuickTime movie and deleting the TIFF framed afterwards, which would seem a little redundant after all.
