I don't know how many strips you're talking about, but perhaps they are too numerous for the following idea: 1. Make a contact sheet with several strips on it. 2. Label the contact sheet with alphabetic characters, begin with "A" and work up through "ZZ" or even "ZZZZ". 3. Number each frame on the contact sheet starting with the upper left corner. Let's say 1-48. 4. The number for an image would then be a combination of the contact sheet letter(s) plus the frame number, e.g. DB24.On Wed, 3 Apr 1996, START, Rodney wrote:
