Bad enough Vegas Pro 9d will no longer edit our (many) animated image sequences rendered to psd single layer. Now the "Coup de Gras" for us animators. . . 9d can't handle png or jpg animated image sequences either. These files actually make it into the timeline, but 9d appears to corrupt their color data, literally rendering them useless.
You don't need a $3500 3D animation application or complex image sequences to try this at home. Make a simple one color still image, say 1920x1080 RGB= 256 0 0 (use PS, Paint, whatever you like). Save this as the file 1.png. Save it again as 2.png and 3.png.
Place the single image "3.png" on a 9d track and reduce its length to just a few frames. Place "1.png, 2.png, and 3.png" just to the right of it, as a single file "image sequence" (not as individual stills). If you don't know how to do this "bless you", suggests you are not an animator and may never have this problem.
Compare the color of the "3 image sequence" with that of the individual "3.png still" in the preview window. For this 9d tester, the image sequence color has been changed to RGB=216 3 4, and it renders that way as well. The color of the individual still image 3.png is not corrupted and renders fine as RGB=256 0 0.
