Hi Im not sure if I have started a project. All I did was start Maya and do the tutorial. Ive got exams at the moment so Ill probably leave this for a while, and after that, if I havent found a solution Ill let you know . If you have any ideas feel free to post. Thanks for the all the help, I appreciate it EDIT: Yup all the defaults are used and I am looking in the right directory because the first frame is always present.
