If I were to convert them to Targa, what should I use to convert? Not trying to be flip here but I asked for help importing tif files. That is what I would like to do since Vegas supports them. Do you have any info regarding inporting tif files that may be of help?

TIFF is generally not a very nice format to use within Vegas - the advice given here (as you just found out) is to convert them to something else. TGA or PNG would be good choices.

Why not TIFF? - as Vegas must use the quicktime components to access them and this significantly slows down performance (so we have been told).

Not sure why you would not get the "check box" just because the source format is TIFF... so that is a little odd. It may be a file naming thing. It seems to me that Vegas checks the file naming used in the directory and figures out there is actually an image sequence. If so.. then it gives you the option to import them as a sequence. I just tried this out myself and I went to a directory with just a bunch of randomly named jpg files and there was no check box... I then went to a directory with properly formated file names in a sequence and I got the check box.

As for programs that can convert files... many are out there. Photoshop will do this (using it's "batch" feature) and also free programs such as Irfanview)

Thanks for that answer Liam. I tried renaming a few files in my sequence to 0.tif, 1.tif, 2.tif from 0_filtered.tif, etc...and it worked! My mistake, thanks for the information. IN the future I will try to use another format. Is BMP okay to use?
