CC 2018 Not importing psd layers

Also a good point, especially if you're importing multiple boards with numbers on the end of the filename. AE will always want to see those as a sequence unless you tell it otherwise.

To clarify, you're having PSD files that will not come into AE as a composition?
This thread has gotten a bit muddled with some of the other responses, so I want to make sure we're talking about the same thing.

Can you provide more info so we can try to assist? (OS?) Is it possible to post the file in question (privately, if necessary)?
I use the Ps > AE workflow constantly, and have literally never run into this problem.

I'm no help but I'd like to add that I am currently having the same or a similar problem. I ACTUALLY got it to work once ONCE and it was rather complicated, at first it wouldn't. the first time I loaded the file I couldn't edit the time and when I succeeded to eventually enable retiming my images dissapeared entirely. I could import the files by changing the default settings to footage, and photoshop sequence, and then after that in the next popup I would select choose layer, and merge layer style. this actually helped because at first it wasn't using the right framerate and made it impossible to edit the layers once I imported them, I could then go into the imported photoshop sequence folder and drag and drop these items into my timeline..... HOWEVER.. this only worked once for all eternity. and it STILL works but only for that ONE FILE. seriously, I go to try to import a different file and the box that shows up is labled the filename of the first psd I imported, and then when I import the file it imports THE OLD FILE I ALREADY DID. I have an animation with multiple backgrounds with transparencies I'm trying to composite, 6 in total all with their unique layer orders, settings and files. my last resort I've realized is to edit the original file and add all the backgrounds into one and then import THAT behemoth into photoshop. I'll be trying this next! this is ridiculous because in every previous version I have used this was never a problem. cc has given me mostly problems in every program excluding photoshop which is beautiful. also PLEASE bring back flash. I know it crashes, I know it's outdated, but at-least most people can use it. this program's essential function is to composite scenes... that's why it astonishes me that it fails to do that with photoshop backgrounds. there are a lot of users complaining about this same problem right now and so far I haven't located an answer other than wait for a bug patch.  I can't just export videos, flash files with alpha channel transparencies won't load their transparency.

Yep! That was it. Can't believe I haven't run into that before. Thanks!

Create a new RGB PSD File using a photo. Add a single text layer. Save and import as a comp in AE. If that works as expected carefully inspect your problematic PSD file and look for live layers, layer styles, or anything else that may cause you problems. Don’t forget to make sure the mode is set to RGB.
