I am looking for a bright idea regarding the following: I constantly am dropping series of segments to tape in which I include a 10 sec hold at both ends of the segment. In other words, I am using 300 frame head and tails setups. The problem is that most of the segments take only about an hour to drop to tape. I am tired of babysitting the process. I am looking for a way to set several of these up at once. For example: test0000.tga -> 300 frame heads since it is my first frame test0001-test0239.tga -> drops normally test0240.tga -> 300 frame tail since it is my last frame Here is where I want to either leave a five second gap and then continue with the next segment, or attach the next segment at end of the first, but still employ a 10 second hold (or 300 frame head and tail) for the first and last frame of the new segment. Any great ideas? I tried perfroming this in batch mode, but calculating exact frame locations for the next segment can get tough. I normally come back the next moring to find places where I was a frame or two off.
