Issues importing Image Sequences AE 2025

Question

After no issues with this workflow in 2024, my switch to 2025 has uncovered something strange. I seem unable to import image sequences, regardless of their origin.

I have made a screen recording of the beahvious with a PNG sequence from blender, but the same result occurs with JPEG or PNG or DPX sequences from premiere/AE or any other image sequence.... and these same sequences all import into 2024 no issue.

AE won't even acknowledge there is an image sequence to import, until I set file type manually. However, even after that, when I try to import, it argues the file type (it reads it as "") despite the .png being present (I cannot see it in the AE import window, but it is there when the name is checked in properties).

Very curious. Would love to get this resolved.

hey there,yes, I did eventually figure out what the issue was on my end. I had todisable a plug in I didn't know I had for importing media... I THINK itwas kollaborate Plugin (by Digital Rebellion) (EDIT- No, it was INFLUX by AUTOCHROMA). Trydisabling your plug ins related to import/export/viewing and see if itfixes it. --Matthew K.

I got a similar issue then I didnt find any resource.

I noticed that my PNG sequence was showing up as a "influx by autokroma" in the import window.

I changed the -Enable- option to "all files" and set back "PNG" in format (instead of "influx by autokroma"), then the option of "sequence" was again available.

Weird but got it working. Hope it helps.
