EXR Drawing incorrect frames

I have an issue where a particular EXR sequence pulls in either a black frame or the start frame on certain frames in the sequence.

 

  • Opening the EXR is DJV Imaging does not present the issue.
  • Copying the EXR locally and importing does not fix the issue.
  • Purging all caches does not fix the issue - sometimes the preview of the EXR looks correct without pulling into a comp. Pulling it into a comp the issue presents itself.
  • Changing from hardware rendering to software rendering does not fix the issue
  • Downgrading AFX to 25.3.2 fixes the issue

Was this issue fixed in AE 25.5?

Same here.  Only solution I have found is open the offending frame and resave in photoshop.  I am using no compression on resave (not sure if that matters).  15 minutes of animation with 100,000 frames in various layers is a pain.  EXR frames that were working fine in prior version of after effects are now problematic as well.  Seems like maybe 1 out of every 300 frames has this issue.

I encountered this problem today too. It is indeed a bug.

same here,
reverting back to 25.3.2 solves the black frames and performes way better with exr.
