an extra bullet specific to importing camera raw files as a sequence into After Effects. Camera Raw settings applied
to the first camera raw file upon import are applied to the remaining files in the sequence unless an XMP sidecar
file is present for any subsequent file in the sequence. In that case, the settings in the XMP file or in the DNG file
are applied to that specific frame in the sequence, all other frames use the settings that the first file in the sequence
specifies.

format.
