Frames do not match up when importing image sequence into AE
I create a new comp in AE of 100 frames, change the timeline to display frames instead of seconds. I drag a folder containing 100 jpeg images into AE as a sequence. I drag the sequence onto the timline and its now 84 frames long. What is happening here? Any help on this would be much appreciated. Hopefully its a quick one! (famous last words)

When you are importing are importing as a sequence, because AE can skip some pics if there are problems? And are you sure that all the pictures are in a format that AE can use? For example are you sure that there aren’t any CMYK issues?

Thanks Johnny..
I have tried RGB jpegs and PNGs (I’m rendering from 3DsMax). I’m getting close. If I drag the folder into AE it creates a sequence and says 1280×720 (1.00) 30fps. I am working in a 25fps comp, could this be why?
If I drag the image sequence onto ‘create a new composition’ I have no problems because the new comp is 30fps.
How do import an image sequence as 25fps?

You can change the import for AE by going to your Edit > Preferences > Import and changing Seq Footage to 25FPS or if it’s easier, go to your project window, right click on the pictures sequence and choose Interpret Footage > Main(Cntl-Alt-G). Now change the frame rate to 25
