Importing a PNG sequence in After Effects
Get a sequence of individual frames as images into Adobe After Effects and use them as a combined video clip. Also works with a transparent background.
Import the rendered frames as one sequence so After Effects plays them as a clip.
Import the sequence
- In After Effects, choose File → Import → File.
- Select the first numbered PNG in the rendered folder.
- Enable the image-sequence option and import.
- Set the interpreted frame rate to the frame rate used in Rotato.
- Add the sequence to your composition.
Check alpha and timing
Place a colored layer underneath to confirm transparency. Check the sequence duration: the same number of frames plays for different durations at different frame rates.
A PNG sequence contains no audio. Import any soundtrack separately.
