I know how to import an image sequence. The problem is that when I do, it imports as ONE FRAME on the timeline. That’s why I am asking here.

Hi Chris – That worked!!! You saved me – thank you!!!!!

[Lillian Young]

Okay, so I got help. This is for anyone else having this problem.

I set my Comp settings to 1920×1080 manually instead of using one of the drop-down menus.

I made sure that my pixel Aspect Ratio was on Square Pixels (it was not before)

I toggled my Pixel AR Correction button in AE

Also, I had to make sure that my graphics had a square Pixel AR – they did not before.

Thanks, Brian. I may give it another go.

For now I’m trying to create a splattering paint effect, like the paint is splashing the image onto a surface. I am using the Vector Paint plugin, and reversing it over the surface. That looks kinda cool to me, but I’m continuing to search for that ‘splash’ on look.

I may need to break up the art, add puppet points to give the pieces a wobble effect, and fly them in 3D space to the surface where they rejoin as one piece.

I don’t know. I think there has to be a simpler way.

I have to submit this asap, which is why walking through a tutorial for hours only to get stuck near the last step or for it not to work is a pain.

Thanks. I am stuck at Step 4 – In the Fractal Noise effect panel, my Scale Width and Scale Height are grayed out.

I am trying these shatter techniques in the meantime

Thanks, Jon. I’m unfortunately not skilled at expressions, but I’m sure it’s a more efficient way to create this effect. I appreciate your suggestion.

The puppet tool worked out very well 🙂

I placed a puppet pin at both ends of the rays, squished from the top of each ray, went forward a few frames, stretched the ray, then a few frames further, I returned the ray to its original position.

Nevermind. I did it using the puppet tool! 🙂

Thanks, Noah. I will pass your advice/response along 🙂

[Lillian Young]

Exactly.

Thanks for your swift replies. I will work with some people to find out what can be done and follow up here.
