I suspect that I need to add a .### to the file for playback.
Hi @Yarddog,
you are trying to play a sequence of images?
From the docs:
To treat a folder of images as if they are one movie, specify the folder containing the images instead of a filename. All the files must be the same resolution. It will treat all stills/movies in that folder as if each is a frame in one movie. The order of the images is the alphanumeric. By default the first image has an index of 0, second is 1, etc, regardless of their file names. Overriding the sample rate on the Trim parameter page will let you playback the image sequence at any frame rate.
Using an info.xml file in the directory containing a sequence of images allows you to specify the frames per second and an audio file to be used with the sequence of images. Example xml file:
<Settings>
<attributes fps="30.0" />
<audio filename="audio.wav" />
</Settings>
might have misunderstood your question.
cheers
Markus
