-Using the example of jpeg’s, the jpeg list sequence file type is the easiest and fastest way to access a sequence of jpg images as a single asset. First build a jpeglist sequence file and name it something like jpeglist.sh. There is an example script of how to do this in the Auxiliary Programs section of the Appendix (\ref{sec:image_sequence_creation}). Once the jpeglist.sh file is built you can then run it similar to this line:

-\vspace*{1ex} \noindent If <\texttt{path}> is the same on both outfile and infiles, then file.jpg is created in the same directory as infiles, the directory contains the entire asset, and the file list uses relative paths; otherwise the file list contains absolute paths. Since this creates outfile list as a single asset, the memory demand and access time is much lower. When you load the outfile in \CGG{}, you will need to set \textit{Try ffmpeg last} since ffmpeg does not work with jpeglist sequence files.
