[Paraview] help about the animation of image and mesh sequences

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

I am not sure why you "Play" would not work. Paraview automatically
detects file series and reads them in as time for *.vtk files.
Attached are two files. When I open them and hit play, I do see the
sphere changing.
