Uses

  • Prepare a PNG sequence for import into video editing software
  • Rearrange a set of PNG frames for insertion into another set

How It Works

  1. Set Input Path to a path on this server to the PNG files being resequenced
  2. Set File Type to png or another necessary value
    • This used to locate the original set of files, and name the new files
    • A wildcard such as * will not work here
  3. Set Base Filename or accept the default
    • This is used ahead of the frame index number for new filenames
  4. Set Starting Sequence Number or accept the default of 0
    • A different value might be useful if inserting a PNG sequence into another
  5. Set Integer Step or accept the default the default of 1
    • This sets the increment between the added frame index numbers
  6. Set Number Padding or accept the default of -1
    • This set the width of the added frame index numbers
    • If set to -1, the width is determined based on the number of files
  7. Leave Rename instead of duplicate files unchecked to keep a copy of the original files
    • The original files can be handy for tracking down a source frame
  8. Click Resequence Files

Important

  1. Ensure the only files present in the input path are the ones to be resequenced
