Is there a way to import and play an APNG file in After Effects?

Question

I made an animation with a drawing program called Clip Studio and output it as an APNG file. It can be imported in After Effects, but the animation does not move. Is there any correct way to import file animations in APNG format?

Sorry for my poor English skills.

For use in After Effects, you'll need to go back to Clip Studio and export the animation as a PNG image sequence.

CLIP STUDIO PAINT Instruction manual > Export animation > Image sequence

If you've never imported an image sequence into an After Effects project before, be sure to set the correct frame rate in the Import preferences prior to importing the image sequence.

I find it helpful to save image sequences into a folder with a descriptive filename that includes the frame rate, for exmaple "walk_cycle_animation_12fps".
