Thanks guys. I will ask and see if that is what I got. For the record I use FX Tree and import files written out from AE - this is the cause of the problem.

Sorry for the OT, but I have noticed quite a few of you use AE. I have received a lot of image sequences from another studio some as tiff, some as pic's. The tiff ones seem to come in two flavours - one that loads in Flip as usual and another that loads extreeeeemely slowly. If I convert these to pic they load close to realtime for 1024 x 576.

Question is - are there different export options for tiff in AE and what should be avoided in order to get faster loading tiff files from AE? I'd like to give the studio some specs to adhere to, to make my life easier.

Most likely some of them are compressed. The compressed files (usually LZW unless you use SuperTif - a free plugin) load more slowly.
