Convert it to an image sequence then ingest.

Photoshop should be able to read the file, see it as separate frames, and do the export as png sequence, relatively easily (though I'm not familiar with animated png).

Keep us posted on progress/solution.

Cheers,

Never seen them before, but seems to be a web format not unlike GIF, so not really surprised that it doesn't play nice in many video editing apps. Maybe After Effects or Photoshop could convert them to a video format?

OK - my daughter has produced an animated PNG ( I had to look it up). It has an alpha channel. It plays correctly keyed over video in iMovie, FCPX and Telestream Screenflow but not in Avid, After Effects or Resolve where it displays as a static frame (I didn't go further). Anyone come across these?
