Question

How to make a script open multiple png sequences inside a folder once

So I have this script that opens an image sequence, cuts the frames in half, and converts it to a GIF.

I want it to open ABC001 as a sequence, run the steps, and then skip ABC002...ABC00N and move on to DEF001 and so on.

 

How could I achieve this?

Alright I got it working, just had to loop the file list and split the name and sequence numbers then compare the file names, and only proceed to do the steps if they don't match, and pass in the current file to the Open step.

 

desc1.putPath(cTID('null'), new File(fileList[i]));
