Hello Everyone.

I have Exported a movie from Modo 3d, as a PNG Sequences.  I can easily go to After Effects and Import all the images and Check the Box "PNG Sequence".

I did the same Technique In Premiere, and I noticed Inside Import File: Image Sequence Is Dimmed Out, and when the images are imported, when I click on play It dose not play correctly.  It goes form one image to another, look like Hold frame.

Thanks.

    Yes, because that is not the correct way to import and image sequence.

    If the .png files are consecutively numbered, then it will import the image sequence - but only one item will appear in the Project Panel, and it will have the same of the first image on it - but it will be a video clip, not a still image.

    Load the file that results from clicking on the first image, checking image sequence and importing either into the viewer or place it on the timeline - it should be a video clip, made up off all your images, with a frame rate that is designated in your Preference Settings for Media > Indeterminate Media Timebase.

    Dear MtD.

    Thank you very much. Now It is Working. I restarted my computer, and did your Technique. It is working ok. I have no Idea why It was not working.

    Thank you very much.

    When you choose Import, navigate to your png files and only select the first png of the sequence. Then check the box for Image Sequence.
