Have had to reimport by dragging

but now it, and it's layers folder are called ...VECTOR\Storyboard_02_20230518b\Storyboard_02_20230518b-08.ai

because AE HAS to increment names. That makes it very very very hard to manage

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Hi Tristan Can you check to see if the Illustrator Sequence button is checked in the Import dialog? 

[tristansummers]

DOH!

Schoolboy error.

Maybe this is on by default now and it wasn't before, hence me making this mistake.

I guess you have a default for any image import? Not sure how often anyone would want an illustrator sequence. Maybe in stop motion

Thank you!

Glad to hear that it was just importing as a sequence.
