If you work with Targa Images to any great extent you might want to check out several file management style utilities I have created for Targa Images. These utilities, delete leading zeros and add leading zeros in a sequential fashion. Also you can rename sequential files, as well as delete, copy, and shift them so that numerically they start at a different frame number. I have also created a program I call IFL Generator which will create an IFL file for sequentially rendered frames no matte what the starting number, and lastly a program called DUMMY which adds dummy frames of black so that if you are using Targa images for a background or a texture map you can arrange it so that the images start at a time you specify rather than having to create a new animation with a new timeline. If this seems confusing, the documentation along with references to the Reference Manual will enlighten you and give your projects a new level of complexity. I find that the basic delete, copy and rename programs are useful for any level of experience, as you can specify just a segment of frames and the program does the rest. These programs are Shareware for a registration fee of $10 which includes additional information and feedback. Enjoy.
