Import Video Reference Into Autodesk Maya

If you don't have the (discontinued) QuickTime plugin installed on Windows, you'll have some difficulty getting a video imported into the latest versions of Maya (2023 and up) on Windows. Here's a solid workaround: Create an image sequence of your video.
Also included: Tips on editing the camera's "imagePlane" as well as how to re-time footage in Adobe After Effects and exporting a PNG sequence with the correct naming conventions for Maya.

It's pretty wild that this is what we have to do now...but thank you so much for sharing! Big life saver!

[@DragonNuts]

Yeah I don't understand why Maya/Autodesk makes everything complicated. Even Blender makes this easy

[@JvOeditorR]

[@Aninda_Creation]

thanks a lot . i was really confused why the sequence wasnt showing...

[@yenotek534]

I did everything like in the video, even with the naming but it still plays only first selected image and not the rest of the sequence

Why when put image plane, my image move to Persp in Outliner and not in Camera1 ??

[@RamazanKhakimzhan]

How to render it in Maya My images dont move

[@jessiahfx6228]

my image sequence is going really fast is there any way to fix it

[@adampeffers6808]

My guess would be you have your scene playing "play every frame". To fix that click the running man with the cog on the bottom right of your screen, then under "playback speed" change it to "24x1" or "30x1", whatever your frame rate is.
