Hi Ben:
The purpose of starting at 0 or 1 is because usually Image Sequences are numbered starting at those digits. It can reach the thousands depending on the length of the shot and the frame rate.
The frame count is extracted directly from each image (frame) in the image sequence, because the file name of each image contains a number. 0001Sky, 0002Sky, 0003Sky, and so on.
I do not know if there is a way of extracting TC. Since the numbers of each image file in an image sequence are numbered sequentially, this sort of works as a type of TC. I am not sure if each image in an Image sequence contains TC. Maybe MC adds TC to it once it is compiled into a single clip (?) Have not checked that.
I hope these answers are not too simplistic for what you were looking.
The following is taken from the addendum to the 201 Course:
The Avid Image Sequencer plug-in allows linking to DPX files.
DPX files are individual frames from a motion image. They are used commonly in the feature film industry for exchanging shots or sequences for visual effects work. This new plug-in will link to these individual DPX frames which are numbered sequentially and present them in the Avid application as a single movie (clip).
The DPX plug-in can link to RGB files that have:
8-bit, 10-bit (filled using Method A only), 12-bit (filled using Method A only), and 16-bit components.
Can only link to files that contain a single image element (for example, interleaved RGB).
Can link to files of either byte order: MSB or LSB.
Cannot link to files that are encrypted or run-length encoded.
