How to resolve the “After Effects warning: The sequence has X missing frames” error

If you have ever received this type of error while working with your templates, here is the problem and solution.
By default Adobe After Effects imports a sequentially numbered set of images as a “sequence” or movie where each frame is a separate file. If there is one or more frames missing you will get this error.
The simple solution is to deselect the “Import as Sequence” checkbox in the lower left corner of the replace/import dialog box as seen below. This will allow you to import one single image file.
