Handling file sequences

Silverstack can handle file sequences for you. Explicit file sequences are sequences whose filenames all end with a numeric or alphanumeric suffix at the end (excluding the file extension):

A001C001_130508_R1KL.92072–93840#######.ari

The names of image sequences in Silverstack are represented with the number of the first filename (in our example above it is 92072) separated with a dash, and the last frame (in our case 93840). The hash signs represent the length of the file count in the asset name. In the example above, we have seven hash characters, so the counter has 7 digits. This results in the first frame’s actual file name:

A001C001_130508_R1KL0092072.ari

Silverstack automatically truncates the first leading zeros so you see “93840” instead of “0093840.”
