Hi Roei,

 

Thanks for that tip. That workes but does not allow me to inherit the name of the folder that a sequence is in.

 

I’ll have a look at the script suggested by Lloyd and Rendernyc as well.

 

Thanks

Anders

Subject: Re: [AE] Importing Folders with Sub-folders keeping PNG images as image sequences

 

Import Folder just imports the elements inside the folder and does not sequence them.

 

if you want AE to import a folder as sequence you could drag the folders  from the Windows explorer/Finder

to your project window and it will import its content as a sequence.

 

it does not recognize sub-folders so you need to drag the bottom hierarchy of folders but you could choose as many as you like.

 

hope that helps.
