Why doesn't EXR Sequence with transparent background work in Unreal Engine 5?

Hello,

On the previous version of Unreal Engine 5.01, I didn’t have this problem, but it appeared with the new version 5.02. I am trying to import an EXR Image Sequence with an adjacent transparent background from After Effects. All my plugins are enabled, but when I set the Image Sequence directory and put in a new Media Player, the program doesn’t want to encode it. It gives the following error:

My question is how to fix this bug or should I wait for the new version of Unreal Engine 5?

I also tried with TIFF Sequence to import from After Effects Export to Unreal Engine 5, but there it gives another error.

Please help as I want to get myself into a virtual studio. Here it is: Виртуалното студио на Source Productions - Source Productions

maybe try renaming your path to exr sequence from cyrillic to latin?

that encode error in 5.0.2 is usually img media source pointing at wrong folder or missing one exr header. point it at the folder containing the numbered exrs (not the exr itself), set the texture as Media Texture and make sure your material is Translucent. if you just need to play it on UI, alpha video player from fab Alpha Video Player - Transparent Video UMG Widget & UI Media Component (UE5) | Fab plays exr/png sequences with alpha directly as a UMG widget, so you dont need to debug the media player encode — just assign the ImgMediaSource and it composites with the right blend mode
