How to change default frame rate for PNG sequences ?

I have a question concerning the default framerate for PNG sequences. Every time i load a PNG-seq. it will say in the info that it has a framerate of 5 fps. Is there any way i can change that? I need them to play at 25 fps without changing the speed in the layer or global.

Any help with this is greatly apprechiated.

This is something we discussed a lot when we implemented it. Some user will prefer to use these folder medias for slideshows, others for time lapse. Se we decided to use 5fps so it's a kind of average. But we see now it's a bit too slow for time lapse. We are thinking of adding a multiplier value over the speed slider so it can go way faster. We don't really want to implement it on a "per media" basis as you might want to have one going like 5fps on one layer and 25 fps on an other…
We will implement it for the next release.

Thank you very much for the quick response and the very satisfying answer. I like using exported PNG sequences from chroma keyed video, because of the very clean output i get from Ultimatte-advantedge.
You guys doing a fabulous job with M8, looking forward to the next release. 8)
