 You can import the whole sequence by selecting all the files in the
file load dialog.  Cinelerra supports loading of multiple files.

 No.  That's lossy, and not a good format for editing.

 If the sequence is very long, that approach can be preferable.
Both because Cinelerra's image sequence handling does not scale
too well (the memory footprint grows too much) and for the sake
of simpler asset management.


Cinelerra imports the sequence but displays nothing. Again, need the images
be of a certain size?
