Folder Import

If you select a folder and press the ..Import button, the folder contents and all sub-folders are imported recursively. We search for image sequences and movies and import those we find automatically.

 

The Import Folder Options dialog allows us to set some import options, such as filters on image format and resolution, material naming convention and automatic sequence timeline splicing.
