"Image secuence" appears in grey although i select the first pic from numbered timelapse

Hi everyone! I usually make a lot of time-lapses using Premiere Pro and footage taken with a GoPro. I usually change the names of the files as a sequence, as you already know img001, img002, img003, and so on, then I go to import, browse my files, select the first photo "img001" and normally after this, the "image sequence" option is available to click and automatically imports all the images as a sequence into Premiere to work on it.

Today i run Premiere Pro, do this usual basic thing, but "image sequence" is just greyed. I uninstalled and re-installed the program, but i keep on having the same problem.

Im getting a bit mad here. Im trying to work with a sequence of 1950 pictures.

Please, any help?

Thank you very much

You have to rename the image to something simple such as 0001.jpg, 0002.jpg etc.

Image sequence does not understand parenthesis.

You can rename with the Bridge. Dont install the latest version it has a bug with renaming.

I expect it is the brackets in the file name causing the problem.
