Import DPX as a sequence in After Effects
Hi all
I am trying to import a folder of DPX into after effects, and then arrange the DPX in the composition as a sequence. I have successfully imported the DPX however when I select all, right click and choose New comp from selection, they are all added to the composition as stacked layers at the playhead, rather than a series of images. Is it possible to get them to be added to the composition as a sequence rather than a layer stack?

Try importing the folder with the files instead, although it’s quite odd that the normal method is doing that.

Don’t import the folder; import the first image and make sure that “Import as sequence” is checked in the Import file dialog box. If you’re on a Mac and you don’t see the “Import as sequence” option in the dialog, click the “Options” button on the lower left corner.

That’s the normal method certainly.
FWIW though, I just finished a project, using DPX sequence, imported the folder, right clicked and end up with a normal single layer composition.
However, if I try that with a folder that has sub-folders, then the Requestor box may come up and even with selecting single comp and 1 frame per image, I get the same results your experiencing. Haven’t tried this with other file formats though.
