With proxy enabled by default, importing a sequence of images (frames extracted from a video in PNG format) does not work for me.
Proxy creates the copy of the first frame (.jpeg) and I don’t get a video sequence. I thought proxy was creating copies of all frames, but after waiting a while, in the default proxy folder, there is only the copy of the first frame.
To correct this, I disable proxy and it works correctly.
Perhaps this is not a problem and it works this way by design.
I thought this might be because of the alpha channel of PNG files, so I tried the same sequence of images with jpeg files (without alpha channel) and with webp (with alpha channel).
With jpeg I had the same problem. The proxy creation interfered with the image sequence.
With webp the image sequence import worked fine, as proxy did not even consider making a copy of these frames.
In my particular case there are almost 10,000 frames at 720 x 576 px resolution and in the editing there are not too many filters, so proxy would not be necessary, but what about other higher resolutions?
