  • importing PCX files in AE CC (on windows)

    Hi there !

    I’m trying to import a bunch of pcx files (a sequence of around 1000 images in fact), and it seem that AE don’t want to import them :/

    I’ve read that AE support PCX importation on Windows
    (on CS4 at least : https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/kb/supported-file-formats-effects-cs4.html ),
    so that should work, but in my case, when I try to import even just one image, that doesn’t work.
    – If drag an drop it in my project, nothing appear,
    – If I try to import it by double clicking in my project menu, PCX files doesn’t show in the Explorer window.

    Does AE not support PCX files anymore ?

    or is there a trick or a script to import PCX files ?

    Edit :

    Ok so I found a way to solve my problem, I’m batching my PCX folder to PNG files using photoshop.

    But still, i’m curious if AE CC isn’t able anymore to handle PCX, because this won’t be the last time I’ll need to import PCX sequence into it.
