Help, can't load image sequence on camera background plane

[Anonymous]

After I load my first image into the camera, I select use image sequence and it always appears that I just have 1 frame. I have already tried like five different name convections for my images but is still the same. I don't know if my images names are really the problem or if it's a Maya bug. Please help. 

I'm using Maya 2018

Hi @Anonymous  and welcome to the community!

Do you have any "bad" characters in the names of the images like : ; ' " . , ?

Also, are your images named properly like 000, 001, 002 etc?

Thank you.

Well at first I didn't but then I saw in a forum that the correct name convection was name.###.ext and since then I have tried: 

Name#.iff

###.iff

Name.####.png

Name.###.png

####.png

Name###.png

Name.###.tif

And none of them worked.

Thank you for repliying.

Hi @Anonymous 

Have you tried .JPG format?

Also, Maya is really picky about the number padding on sequences and could be the problem like in this thread. It looks like you have it set up right but just to make sure you need 4 frame padding i.e. 0001 where 00001 wouldn't work.

Hi, thanks for your suggestion but it didn't work, I tried 0001.jpg and nothing happened.

And my problem it's different from that thread, i'm not using it  as a texture I'm using a camera scene imported from nuke, so I want to see my image sequence on my camera plane.

Hi @Anonymous 

Ahh ok.

Out of curiosity, can you try using the image sequence on an Image Plane or as a texture and see if it works?

If it doesn't work, can you zip and send me the image sequence in a private message so I can try loading it on my set up?

Hi!

Please upload a scene-file + the first 3 images of the sequence.

This is the fastest way to check your settings.

Hi @sean.heasley 

thank you for your suggestion. It didn't work with the images I had but I did my tracking again using the image sequence and in Maya I loaded the sequence as "sequence.0.jpg" and it worked.

Thank you so much for your help.
