I can't help you with "motion" but I had a thought as I was reading your predicament.. OpenShot will produce an mpeg video output of multiple images if you find yourself up against a deadline or something and need an alternative. If motion is throwing all your images into one folder, it's as simple as highlighting all and importing them together into a new project.. After that you do the same thing within the program to drag them onto a "track" where you can play with how they are presented within your final product... I'll be happy to *try* to help shorten the learning curve if you end up having to go that route.. I do understand that the point of your request is ideally motion would be producing that format without further intervention from outside software.
