image sequence--> layers

Is there a way to import a sequence (image001.png, image002.png ...) on different automatically generated layers for each image ?

(wasn't there a tool, once ? )

There was a script or something called "verticalizer". Will check in the content sharing section.

do you mean all the images at frame1, or sequentially aligned one after the other in the timeline ?
and do you need each image in image-layer or anim-layer ?
anyway, a script should do what you need,
f.i., after loading your sequence in an anim-layer, use a button which stacks these 2 commands :

Code: Select all

Layer: Select All Images
Layer: New Layers from Selected Images
to get anim-layers instead of image-layers, you will need a more elaborated george script
to num and parse the new created layers.

Once, I created a button with doing :

Code: Select all

Layer : Select all
Layer : Link
Layer : Merge Selected
Layer : Select all images
Layer : Reverse selected
And tada, your sequence is on 1 single layer, in the good order.

Thank you very much,

I was in need because some students wanted to import their scanned hand-drawings into TVP for an animatic. It is more comfortable to have each image on a separate layer for time-adjusting.

Raymond, your script-idea did it - I just added one more command to hide the parent-layer before ending.

Thanks !
