video post sounds like the easy way to me. and if you are looking for a really easy way to create an ifl like list for a cue entry you can use the KPT Gradient designer IPAS which HSC Software just released. This will allow you to create a pseudo ifl or in this case a (grd) . define a timeline of your desired length,make your gradient completely trans. for the entire duration then visually load background images by select each image of sequence you want to include, at the point in the timeline you want it to appear. each one will stay there until you load another image after it. when you are finished creating this timeline you can play it back in order to see the timing and sequence order of your finished (grd). Save it in the Gradient Designer and then go back to 3DS and use this BXP process(grd) in video post as a que entry, with the size and positioning you want for that particular sequence. Or for that matter use it any other place you might use a bitmap (texture, projection lights, backgrounds etc) Creating an imaging sequence in this way is extremely time efficient and the whole process within KPT might only take 2 or 3 minutes
