AnimPlayer provides several convenient ways to load an image sequence or movie:
- Most recently used file history
- Drag + Drop
- Command line parameter
- Image file list [IFL]
- User interface load sequence dialog
Note: Sometimes it can take a little while for the loading process to begin. This is because the image sequence contains many files or your hard drive or network connection may be busy. For your convenience AnimPlayer does an image sequence check each time before starting the loading process. To skip this check please use the IFL feature.
Most Recently Used File History
AnimPlayer keeps the last 10 usages of all kind of files in separate recently used lists.
You can easily access these lists using the File / Recent ... menus
or by clicking the triangle down arrows in the toolbar.
Drag + Drop
Just drag + drop a single image file, a movie file, a sound file, a folder of an image sequence or a project file to AnimPlayer’s application window and AnimPlayer will automatically start loading it.

Image File Lists [IFL]
Another feature is the support of image file lists. An image file list is a simple text file with the file extension .ifl and includes all images to be loaded. Different image sequences from different folders are allowed.
You must provide the full file path to use different folders; otherwise AnimPlayer will only search in the folder where the IFL file is saved.
You can create IFLs with AnimPlayer's export feature.
IFL files provide an easy way to use customized playlists. Used as a command line parameter, AnimPlayer can be easily integrated into existing work flows and pipelines.
Here are examples of IFL files:
