Is there a way to open a 3.55 gb file in after effects?

    There is no - as far as I know it - file size restriction in AE so if format that you use is being supported (and .img is), and file that you try to import is not corrupted - it shoud import without any issues.
    And I'm guessing if you are asking if that is possible that mean that you have some kind of issue with doing that - if that is the case please tell us something more. Do you get any popup message, any error during import etc.

    Hi,

    Thank you for responding to my question.

    I use Electric Image to animate multiple frames -- this particular animation was 1024x607, 30fps, millions of colors.

    I've used After Effects for many years and continue to use it.

    This is first time I've experienced AE's inability to open a large .img file (3.55 gb).

    I've communicated with EI technical and they suggest opening the large .img in quicktime pro and export it out and then

    into AE. 

    Tried this but the file becomes fuzzy?

    Thanks for any further insight into resolving the issue....

    .IMG files are supported. Supported file formats in After Effects CC

    Is that a single frame or an image sequence? What do you plan on doing with the image? What is the frame size in pixels?
