It's possible, I think it had something to do with the Mac saving a Photoshop file without the .psd extension. Even after adding it back in on the PC it opened fine in Photoshop but when I tried to relink things in AE with the new file it just would not find any new layers. I seem to have this knack at finding weird AE issues. Ultimately I had to just muscle my way through the 8 comps, relinking as I went. It was about 50 or so layers but there were at least 50 or more comps to deal with so the pain was only an hour or two's worth. Still what a titanic pain in the butt.

Hi, Rob.

I have had an issue with file sequences not linking after I save the project, shut AE and open the project again. Sequences go missing. I've had this happen with .png, .exr and .pic sequences. I haven't tested .jpg, but they weren't useful without the alpha channel. I'm not sure if what you're experiencing is tied to the same bug I've experienced, but I thought I'd bring it up.

Hi all,

    I was hoping someone could shine a light on this one as it's going to force me to re-import a 400+ layer photoshop file. I've moved a project over to another workstation from a Mac (CS6) to my home computer (Win7 CC). Normally I can just find one layer in the file and use reload footage to relink it. The relink works but the usual "After Effects has found XXX missing images" that follows it since the remaining layers are part of the same photoshop document does not happen. Any way to make this work in AE?
