: Unable to open Movies or Image Sequences in Photoshop anymore I'm trying to do some rigging removal (something I do often in Photoshop), but for some reason all of a sudden I cannot open ANY

@Si6392903

I believe I may have a solution / workaround for you as I was contending with this same issue in CS6 extended..

1 - Go to file -> Scripts -> Load Files into Stack

2 - select the files from your image sequence (this will load your images into separate layers)

3 - Open your timeline - click the options tab (top right corner of timeline window) - select 'Make frames from Layers'

This will load all your images into the timeline - incase the frames loaded into the timeline in reverse order - you can select 'reverse frames' in the timeline options.

4 - to export to animated gif - go to 'File -> Save for Web' or hit Ctrl,Alt, Shift + S - this will start 'image-ready' options to export your animated gif.

Hope this helps.

I don't know if you got this problem solved, it was bounced to the top on the front page. But in any case, try to disable JPEG support for Camera Raw

From Adobe forum:


You'll need to disable JPEG support for Camera Raw


Photoshop: Edit(Win)/Photoshop(Mac) > Preferences > File Handling: click [Camera Raw Preferences...]


Camera Raw Preference dialog appears

JPEG and TIFF Handling: set to either


Disable JPEG support
Automatically open JPEGs with settings (JPEGs with XMP files will still be seen as Camera Raw files).

[OK] in ACR pref dialog, [OK] in Photoshop Pref dialog.
Restart Photoshop.


Now, try the File > Open... Image Sequence again

This answer is a bit late, but I just found out that 64bit CANNOT open image sequences, only 32bit can for some reason.

Did you check if you started Photoshop in 64bit Mode? Because the 32bit and 64bit version have different features and some things are missing in 32bit.
