alpha channels

I wonder if anyone can help me with this "challenge"?
I have just dropped 100 frames of stills in "tga" format on my timeline (100tgas @ 1 frame each).
Presently I am having to go in to each frame's properties and change the alpha channel from the default value (undefined) to "premultiplied" to allow the background image to be visible.
Needless to say this is a mind numbing exersize.
Right clicking the 1st frame and choosing "select events to end" from the RC menu, greys out the "properties"dialogue.
The manual is of no help either.
Has anyone else had to face this challenge?
Is there a workaround?
thanks,
Geoff

I recommend you delete them all and then import them this way:

File - Import and pick the FIRST image. Now check the box that indicates this is a still image sequence. You will now have ALL the images on the timeline as ONE clip. Change the Alpha Channel once and you'll be done.

thanks,
that worked a treat, and opened up a world of possibilities!...having it as 1 clip is fantastic (I normally just "select all" in the explorer pane and drag-n-drop them onto the timeline).
cool!

Yeah, it's definitely much easier to work with when it's a single clip instead of 100's or 1000's of single events!
