Hello! i am trying to import a .tif RGB sequence for which i need to manually set the interpret footage as ignore everytime. I used to get a popup in previous versions (currently using 18.2.0) asking how i wanted the footage to be read, not getting it anymore. What does one need to do to get this popup everytime such a sequence or any sequence is imported? Manually doing it for every sequence is an additional step that one could do without.

Not sure if you are talking about the RAW Import dialog box, but this window it will open only if you have raw material. I've never seen that dialog when imported RGB TIFF files. Anyway, it is not mandatory to set the interpretation one by one. Once you have interpreted one footage, you can go to File > Interpret Footage > Remember Interpretation. Then, select the rest of the files and go to File > Interpret Footage > Apply Interpretation. This way you can automate this process with a couple of clicks.

What's the raw import dialogue box? I always used to get a popup when i would import any sequence where one could selcet to ignore the alpha(the window one gets when they press Ctrl+Alt+G). I know you can apply interpretations like so but i am used to just checking them at the time of import. These updates are so frustrating!!
