I tried all kinds of tricks including writing Apple scripts and using command line tools to compile into QT files.

What we do now is render to a bunch of QT files and join those. Joining 50 QT files is so much quicker than joining 2000 still images.

Does anyone have any tips or a link for reading up on how to decide on an image sequence format. I'm currently working on a project where we're rendering 16bit 4k TIFF sequences, and then converting those to prores or DNxHD. I feel like the sheer size of these TIFF sequences is really slowing us down, both in reading the sequences into AE and server traffic. Am I wrong in thinking we could speed things up using PNG or another format?
