Imported png's not showing up in the timeline

Post by BruceM »

I'm attempting to import a clip of png's into a new project. When it loads the clip, it shows up as one image in the timeline on frame 1. Nothing after that.
When I click on the "Project" button, I can see that the images are all there. How do I get the frames from the clip to show up in the timeline? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Is this it?

On the import dialogue, on the project tab, change the Split Scene setting to "Image."

No that didn't do it. In fact, the Project tab now shows that there's only 1 image in there, rather than all of the clip's images. Any other thoughts?

Thanks!

How are the files named? TVP only imports something like a01, a02, a03 etc, but not a01, b02, or a01, a12, a21. There can't be any gaps in numbering.
TVP 10.0.18 and 11.0 MacPro Quadcore 3GHz 16GB OS 10.6.8 Quicktime 7.6.6
TVP 11.0 and 11.7 MacPro 12core 3GHz 32GB OS 10.11 Quicktime 10.7.3
TVP 11.7 Mac Mini M2pro 32GB OS 13.5

Thanks Slowtiger! As it turns out, Paul Fierlinger caught what the issue was and set me straight. I was trying to import the png's by using the "project" tab in the import window, rather than the "clip" tab.
Thank you, and thank you, Meslin, for helping me out!
