Question

Can't import sequences into Animate

Hi - can't seem to import image sequences into Adobe animate. It consistently only lets me import the images one at a time rather than the whole sequence in one go. Have tried various naming conventions and number paddings but doesn't make any difference. 

 

Any help very much appreciated! Seems like a bit of a bug...?

    Hi.

     

    I've just tested with images named like image_0.jpgimage_1.jpgimage_0.jpg... and image_00.jpgimage_01.jpgimage_02.jpg... and they all worked as expected.

     

    How are your image files named?

     

    And please take a look at this answer for info on how to import image sequences into Animate:

    Hi there - have tried various naming conventions and number pads but it doesn't make any diffference - have tried things like filename_01.svg, filename_02.svg, filename_03.svg (it's an svg sequence I'm trying to import by the way) and various permutations of those etc but still doesn't work. Still only wants to import each file one by one.

    Same thing, unfortunately. Have tried importing in to the library (instead of the stage) as well but that also has the same problem.


    I think the images are being imported but you're not seeing what you're probably expecting. Have you tried distributing the content to layers/frames?

     

    And do you mind sharing the SVG files so I can test on my end?
