Importing a PNG sequence error

[Michael Szalapski]

From Mylenium’s After Effects Error Code Database: “Opening the file in another program like Adobe Photoshop and saving it from there in the same or another image format might allow you to use the data.”

That’s what I ultimately did, but it seems that any png image won’t load. Strange.

I’m running 9.0.2.42 currently. I tried importing an image into PS and exporting a PNG to see if the files were saved improperly or corrupt some how. Still doesn’t work.

I’ll have to hit up Adobe for some insight.

Thanks for your help.

I created a screen grab using the mac screen grab Shift+command+4 and tired to import that into AE with no luck.

You last comment made sense. I didn’t even think that it may be an OS issue. I tried importing a PNG file and a PNG sequence on another machine and it imported without any errors.

So, it must be an OS issue. Which is also strange. We just did a complete erase and reinstall of the OS on this system about a month ago.
Which was Leopard, if that makes any difference.

hmmm

Thanks again for your help on this.
