AE CC 2017 - BIG Bug interpreting the FPS of the sequence of images

Hi everybody,
There's a big bug in the timeline that need to be solved really urgently: it doesn't remember the correct fps interpretation for a sequence of images.

Just to explain step by step
- create a timeline at 25 fps

- import a sequence of images (like a timelapse)

- by default, it assumes 30 fps for the sequence

- change the interpretation to 25 fps: the timeline refreshes immediately

- SAVE THE PROJECT and you'll immediately see that the timeline refreshes the footage interpretation to 30 fps. Also in the project panel, selecting the sequence, you'll see 30 fps instead of 25

- (you can also select "remember interpretation" option, under Interpret Footage Menu, but nothing change.)

- The bug doesn't annoy the footages (at least.. until now!!!!!)


Hope to be solved really quickly.

This problem is fixed in the January 2017 update to After Effects CC 2017 (version 14.1). Please install the update and post back about the fix.

Please note that the fix for this bug only applies to JPEG image sequence footage imported or modified in version 14.1. JPEG sequences in projects last saved by versions 14.0 or 14.0.1 are not automatically corrected to their previous frame rate. To fix such projects, change the frame rate to the expected value in the Interpret Footage dialog for these JPEG sequences.

Why don't you just wait for the second bug fix to come out?

The FIRST bug fix typically fixes common bugs -- and who knows, yours may be among them -- but breaks things that once worked just fine.

The SECOND bug fix generally fixes the bugs created by the first bug fix.

In addition you can probably look forward to a third bug fix, which addresses more exotic & rare bugs.

What to do in the meantime?  Use an earlier version.

this is happening in my system as well on Windows 7. the workaround is to change the import fps in the preferences.

yes, I was posting exactly the same "work-around" solution when I saw your reply.
It's a good way until they solve the bug .. hope soon!

Thank you for breaking after effects. Now it will be fixed sooner rather than later. I trust you filed a bug report with a link to this thread

Merci de trouver TRÈS RAPIDEMENT une solution, parce que c'est impossible de travailler avec ce bug!!!!!
