Duration wrong on import.

[orlandop98057891]

• My CH png sequence is 6:37 seconds when I bring it into after effects it's 5:14 seconds. When I set the duration time under settings it just extends the time not the sequence. I'm not sure why this is happening. Also in.CH I'm working with 24 fps when I bring it over it's 30 fps I have to change it in settings. Is there a preset that I can use?

Open preferences and check the Import Section. The default for image sequences is 30. Change that to 24 and any new sequences you import will be 24 fps. 

If you need to change one imported sequence select File/Interpret Footage and change the frame rate. If there are multiple imported sequences in the Project you can select the footage you just changed, use File/Interpret Footage/Remember Interpretation, then select all the other footage files and use the menu again to paste the new interpretation to the rest of the footage.

I wish that was always the case.. I have Prefs at 30fps. Just imported a PSD as layered comp and AE made it 25fps. I usually work in 30fps but I happen to have worked on a 25fps some days ago. Not consistent 😕
