Hi, I've been desperately trying to find a good image sequence viewer for Windows.
  • Quicktime Player is slow
  • Cinema 4D Picture Viewer is awesome but it doesn't like the number of digits in Octane's image filenames
  • SqCheck is crashy
  • Cyber-D is choppy
  • Windows Picture Viewer + holding down the arrow key, is blurry :)
  • After Effects is too big for the job
What do you guys use?

I use FastStone (http://www.faststone.org/) and I love it :)

I usually just scroll through them using the mouse wheel. It's loading images fast enough to see the sequence. If you want a fluid animation it's not good. I thought you just wanted to flick through the images.

Cheers,

VirtualDub (free and lightweight) also imports & plays image sequences...

We've been using djv for a while, really good set of tools (converting to other formats... also theres a listing function to check whether there are any drop frames in a certain folder.... pretty cool tool)
