Importing stills from iPhoto, getting correct order.

Question

Importing stills from iPhoto, getting correct order.

In Tom's manual page 217 it says "sequentially number the stills…" Where do I do this? I don't think it is the title field (replacing the image#) as that was not followed by the images in the timeline when I tried it. Is the order in the timeline based on the sequence of photos in the iPhoto album? What is the right way to get the order correct before importing the album into FCE please? Keith

iMac desktop, Mac OS X (10.6.4), still learning FCE

Apple uses an alpha numeric sorting order like this:

001.jpg

002.jpg

003.jpg ... and so on.

You need to add leading zeros to the file name, or just use leters only for an alpha sort.
