THanks! thats exactly what I need. But it isn’t possible directly in After Effects? That’s strange?

[Pieter jan Bleichrodt]

Thanks for the answer but I’m not sure we are talking about the same thing. What I mean is this:
When I import files I see something like this
spec01.jpg
spec02.jpg
spec03.jpg
spec04.jpg
spec05.jpg
spec06.jpg
spec07.jpg

But what I want to see is this:
spec(01-06].jpg

Because I have 8 sequences in one folder each consisting of 1800 jpgs it’s taking a lot of scrolling around to import files

Thanks for the answer but yes you misunderstand me. Maybe I’m not using the right words, anyway:
When I import files I see something like this
spec01.jpg
spec02.jpg
spec03.jpg
spec04.jpg
spec05.jpg
spec06.jpg
spec07.jpg

But what I want to see is this:
spec(01-06].jpg

Because I have 8 sequences in one folder each consisting of 1800 jpgs it’s taking a lot of scrolling around to import files

I know that, maybe I’m not clear. I Want to see the frames as a sequence, before they are imported. The problem is I’ve got 8 render elements each element consists of 1800 frames. So there are 14400 frames in that folder and that is not very handy. If I see each 1800 frames as a sequence then I see only 8 files in the folder during improt. This way it’s much easier to import the 8 elements.

I know that combustion let you see image sequences as one file so I hope after effects is also capable of doing that.

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for my late reply and my bad english. But I found the problem, sort of. It’s because of the nan values in the images. I’ve downloaded the NanNy filter and now there seems to be no problem. It looks like 3dsmax does some weird things with the output……
Thanks for all the help and answers, much appreciated!

Regards
Deek

The float color values are: nan, so obviously not correct (forgot where it stands for, not available?). aplha :1 for the whole image.

The layers are just exr files 32bit float, nothing fancy, just RGB that’s all. I’ve rendered the elements in seperate files. I’ve tried reactor before but I think it’s to much of a hustle.

[Pieter jan Bleichrodt]

Yes yes! That’s correct, it has got nothing to do with alpha and it’s only appearing in 32bpc. Do you know a glow plugin that works well?

[Pieter jan Bleichrodt]

the layers have no alpha channel. I suspect it being a bug……

[Pieter jan Bleichrodt]

there is an render element multiplied by an ambient occlusion pass. But I think that is not the problem, I’ve had this same problem in a different project…
