# Image Sequence

<figure><img src="/files/SN5ngjczCtbFq0JOdbP7" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

These settings define default behaviors when exporting media as **image sequences**. All options can be overridden on a per-export-job basis.

***

**Folder & File Naming Options**

* **Create New Folder**\
  When enabled, a new folder will automatically be created for each image sequence export.
* **Index Prefix**\
  Sets the default **prefix** added before the numbered frame index in the filename (e.g., `Frame_0001.dpx`).
* **Index Min. Size**\
  Defines the minimum number of digits in the index (e.g., `0001`, `001`, etc.).
* **Index Offset**\
  Controls how the starting frame index is calculated:
  * `0` – Start at frame 0
  * `1` – Start at frame 1
  * `Offset` – Start at the image sequence's frame offset
  * `TC` – Start based on the Timecode offset
  * `Still/Offset` – Same as Offset, also applies when exporting a single still
  * `Still/TC` – Same as TC, also applies when exporting a single still image

***

**Format-Specific Settings**

* **EXR Compression**\
  Sets the default compression method used when exporting to **OpenEXR**.
* **EXR Zip Comp Level**\
  Defines the compression level for **ZIP**-based EXR exports.
* **EXR DWA Comp Level**\
  Sets the compression level for **DWA**-based EXR exports.
* **JPEG Encode Quality**\
  Sets the default quality (1–100) for **JPEG image sequence** exports.
* **PNG Comp Level**\
  Sets the compression level (0–9) for **PNG image sequence** exports.
