Mimic frame by frame painted animations texture
Hello everyone, after several days of unsuccessfully searching for an answer to this problem, I’m posting the question on this great forum to see if someone can guide me in the right direction: I have a sequence of PNG frames in my timeline, obviously on a single layer. What I need is to separate each frame of that layer into a different layer, assign a duration of 12 frames to each layer, overlap it with the next layer for 6 frames, and create a crossfade in those 6 overlapping frames. What would be the best way to automate this process? Is it a script, or does After Effects have an internal solution for this that I’m not aware of? The effect I’m looking for is like those old animations of animated paintings, where each frame blended into the next, creating a very particular visual effect. Thank you all very much!

You can export your sequenced PNG files into a video.
Then re-import the video back into after effects. Create a timeline based on the video, then right click on the video and choose scene edit detection from the drop-down menu. This will create an AE timeline with all of your individual shots sequenced end to end, with each on a separate layer.
Select all the layers in the timeline. Move your CTI to the beginning of the timeline and press the left bracket key to move all the layer s to the start of the timeline.
Move your CTI to 12 frames and with all the layers selected, press Alt or Option right bracket to trim all the layers to be 12 frames long.
With all the layers selected. GO to the top screen menu and select Animation>keyframe assistant>sequence layers. Set the duration to 6 frames, and you can choose from the two dissolve transition styles to see which you like better.
