Dear Jacqui,
the getTilte() function works as expected, but because you have spaces in
the tilte, you should add square brackets in the "Image Sequence..."
command arguments. You can also specify the output folder using the save
parameter, like this:

run("Image Sequence... ", "format=TIFF name=["+ imgName +"] start=0 digits=4
save=/Users/jmutterer/Desktop/aaa");

Sincerely,

Jerome
