As in importing the WRONG IMAGE.

I imported a series of jpegs (exported from illustrator), with slight variations. And they have the wrong file.

For exampe if I import "regular.jpg", "cherry.jpg" , and "grape.jpg", the "regular" will be fine but "cherry" will be the same image as "regular" and "grape" will be the cherry image. Except there are dozens of images with all sorts of variations.

I tried:

  1. Purging all memory and disk cache
  2. Reloading footage on all the files
  3. Quitting and restarting the program
  4. Shutting down and restarting the computer

HELP! I have a tight deadline. This is URGENT. Like I need this in an hour or so.

Show us some fullscreenshots. open the file in illustrator/Photoshop/Os picture viewer and show the same file in Ae so we can see what's wrong. do the files open fine in other software? is it the export process or the import process?

Sorry. These are potential new designs for a brand. My boss, and his client, would kill me if I put them on a public forum.

I ended up re-exporting as pngs, which seemed to work. Maybe it's a jpegs thing (????).

You have not provided any useful info with regards to your program versions, system info, export/ save settings and whatnot. Sorry, but even if we were all-knowing and just had happened to hang around this forum incidentally in the middle of the night (European time), nobody could have given you any sensible answer. These days there's a gigazillion bugs in any Adobe app and it's simply impossible to provide any clues based on such non-information.
