While I know this is an older video, it has saved me a GREAT deal of time in importing sequences into my display CORRECTLY. Correctly = efficiently in this case especially with respect to using the "packaged" zip files--once I got my mapping in good shape I have been ZOOMING through a bunch of sequences for a new setup at a new home. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

The issue I have is I have 1/4 the props so I can Import mine correct but because of the way the sequence is laid out I have a lot of dead air?
