[Paraview] Paraview for time series of images

[Moreland, Kenneth]

Have you tried just loading a sequence of numbered images? If you name
your files something like image_0.tif, image_1.tif, image_2.tif, etc.,
ParaView will group those files in the browser, and if you open that
group, ParaView will treat it as a time sequence. (The name can be
anything as long as there is a number before the extension, so you can
change "image_" to anything you want, add digits to the numbers such as
000, 001, 002, etc., and start at a different number like 1.)

-Ken
