Final Cut Pro question

[David Thrasher]

I don't own Final Cut Pro yet because I can't yet afford it but I was 
wondering if someone who does have it could answer this question: I've 
thought about the idea of making an animated film that would be High 
Definition  and I thought it could be done by doing each frame as a 
separate image file in correct pixel dimensions. One way I thought the 
frames could be handled for output (they would be sequentially named - 
example: "image0001.jpg") would be that you would use Quicktime Pro to 
combine them into a single Quicktime movie file and then output this 
into a DV stream to get it into Final Cut Pro. (I've done something 
similar with iMovie.) Would I have to go through all this or does Final 
Cut Pro have the ability to import sequential individual images like 
this directly?
