import image sequence including ...

I use Quicktime pro to create movie clips from 3D frame stacks. I then use the QT clips in final cut studio to do my editing.

my 3D app has the capability of generating "negative" frames..that is, frames prior to 0. You can use this when you have a scene all set up, and want to add something which happens before all the other things you've set up; rather than time-shifting everything else foreward, you simply add the new element prior to the 0 point.

QT Pro appears unable to cope with this. It sees the frames with negative frame numbers as being part of a different sequence, so that it will pull in from -072 thru -001, then stop. it also will begin with frame -001, ending on -072, making the clip appear backwards when it is played.

Clicking on the Name column so that -072 is first, doesn't make a difference.

Is there a workaround to this from the Quicktime end of things?

thanks!
