Hi!

I'm doing a cut-out animation and need to import loads of images, but I'm allowed to select only 1 image at a time. I've got over 20 parts to import so obviously that's gonna be a rather slow process. So my question is:
How do I speed it up a bit with scripting ? Could someone help me write such a script?

Thanks

If you have a version of Anime Studio that supports scripts, try selecting Scripts|Image|Import Image Sequence. (The images have to be numbered sequentially...)

If you are on windows (I don't know if this works on mac or linux) go to the folder where the images are, select all and drag them into the AS main window. There will appear a message which ask you if you want image as layer or as trace reference. Click layer.
The message will appear for every single image, but it still being much faster than import them one by one.

@jahnocli: unfortunatelly it's not a sequence but thanks for the tip. It will sure come in handy some day.
@selgin: Thanks, it works I tried the method before but I drag&dropped onto the layer window which didn't work. Now if only I could get rid of that messagebox ...

Here's another idea.

A scripter wrote a Gimp to AS script.
Each layer of your Gimp.xcf file goes into a separate image
layer of a new .anme file which you can name.

Probably similar method can be used for Photoshop, because I think
the Gimp export script was a rewrite of a photoshop export script.

There was a script that imported everything in one file, image, vector, 3d into a sequence layer. It doesn't seem to work any more in 6.1
