I’m trying to import an image sequence with an alpha transparent background using “images as planes”. However the video wont play when I move the playhead in the timeline. It just shows the first frame of the animation. ideas are much appreciated!
-I already checked the sequence itself. the images should be fine. -here is a screenshot of the import settings
You didn’t select Animate Image Sequence.
How does the first frame of the image sequence look with the Principled selected?
I usually select Emit in the Material settings when using an alpha image, as it makes it show a bit better… but then mine are usually VFX of some sort…
Thank you! it was the checkbox as you pointed out!
I tried to replicate your nodes to compare the results of “emit” and “primcipled”, but it seems like the alpha is getting lost. Does this only work with mov. ? (i have a png image sequence. In the image texture node I also set the option to “movie” which made no difference)
Here is a screenshot
Ahh… Check in the Material, in the N Panel ( Right Side) drop down to Blend Mode and select Alpha Blend…
Glad you got it fixed!
Happy Blending!
