It's also a workflow for IMAX film and DCP production that I use AE for.
Between this and the (for me) more critical ROI bug, I'm pretty back to
using CS5.5 for the bulk of my work after a few months on CS6 :(. I'm using
CS6 for all the Adobe apps - and AE CS6 for something simple and quick. But
I hope a bug fix comes soon.

A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a
progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the
meaning, all that comes later.
-Stanley Kubrick

Yep.

We are treating 3D workflows very seriously, and we realized that these
issues about image sequence handling have been a weak spot for 3D workflows.

This is good news,

Working with image sequences is one of After Effects' weakest points.  It is
so infuriating to be working in AE with a sequence that is being overwritten
by a different machine - often it's completely unworkable.  And it's
something that happens a lot - it's normal for a 3D pass to be rendered,
revised, re-rendered, revised etc etc and each time overwriting the same
frames.
After Effects hates this and it shouldn't, the whole application doesn't
need to freeze every time AE realises the sequence has changed.  It's one of
the few things about AE that makes me want to throw the monitor out the
window.

Any improvements in this department will be welcomed.

What is _supposed_ to happen is that you get warned once, but there's a bug
that is causing the warning to occur every time that the application checks
to see if anything has changed.
