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.jpg, image_1.jpg, image_0.jpg... and image_00.jpg, image_01.jpg, image_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.

    Here is a video demonstrating that the feature is working properly:

    What I meant about the SVG content is that maybe you got the idea that Animate wasn't importing different images.

     

    The point is: from what I saw in the video you sent and by what I tested here on my end, I can tell you that everything is working for both of us.

     

    But if you still think that there's a problem, so please report to the team in this link:

    Please let me know if there's something else I can do for you.

    And I just watched you do exactly the same thing - you had to individually click every frame in. That's not right.
