Problem is, the Sequence consists of, well as I mentioned before, 2000 .tga images. Something I can't really work with. But I will import the sequence to ae, and make it a 60fps footage, render as compresse video and than work with that in the project. I can than time warp the footage too it's original speed and If I have to, I can slow down and have super awesome slowmotion

Title: Why won't After Effects import an uncompressed avi file?
UserDisplayName: Marten Zander
ThreadText: # Why won't After Effects import an uncompressed avi file?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2015-09-08)
  
  I just recorded a demo from cod4 with 2000FPS.
  
  I used Vdub to make an uncompressed video from the Screenshots.
  After saving as an avi, the file looks good. (Apart from the lack while playing in windows media player which is probably caused by the large Framerate)
  
  When I try to import to after effects or encoder, I get the error that it can't be imported.
  
  But why?
