Frame Extension ? for Live Video
I have a .avi file that I want to put to a Maya plane for an "Interactive Live" scene. I am able to convert the .avi file to both .tiff and .jpeg using Moyeger 2.7.2.
When I try to import this into MAYA, I go to the Image Plane Attribute and select the format of the imported files. NOW, the problem seems to be that MAYA wants different file extensions to import the sequence (I am assuming pic1.1, pic2.2, etc). When I use Moyager, it makes the file formats like 000.jpg, 001.jpg, which I think should be the correct way to do it.
How do I tell MAYA to go by the sequential order of the file name, not the extension?
Chris, Baltimore.

To use a sequence of image files to create an animation, the file name must be expressed in one of the following three formats:
name.#.ext
name.ext.#
name.#
where name is the base name of the file; # is the frame number (with or without leading 0s), ext is the file extension of the file.
To use a sequence of image files to create an animated file texture, the file extensions must be separated from the basename and/or the extension by dots (.).
For example, the following works:
test.1.iff
test.0001.iff
test.1
test.0001
test.iff.1
test.iff.0001
But the following would not work:
test1
test0001
test1.iff
test0001.iff

but it didn't answer my second question. I'm trying to render with a Maya Live video in the background. When I render, all I get is the character, not the video. Anyone know why this is occurring?
Thanks again....I really love this site and the tutorials.
