Image Sequence Management

[pgraham]

Plain old folders are sufficient enough for me. It's easy to drag and drop when each sequence is in its own folder.

Ya manual moving and creating folders work great for small projects! Usually my renders end up in a common folder. So its typical to have over a hundred different passes at full HD res making as many as 10 000 images(I know its alot!), that need to be moved between different servers and sorted, it makes sorting and checking a whole day process. Im just looking for a smoother workflow, maybe a way to automate moving and creating folders/ sorting.

Thanks,

Eric

I have worked on movies with millions of frames a dozens of places and we always put them in folders when we render them in the first place. That is the best way of organizing them. No idea why you would put all the image sequences in the same folder in the first place.

To post organize you could easily write a simple script that would creating folders for all the sequences and them moving them all into them. Any scripting language can do this, csh, bash, awk, python, perl, ruby, etc.... Any td or programmer could write this in a short time.
