yeah it is :p
nah, it's all good

in your render settings you need to change it from your current file extension format to something more like "Good Intro0001.tiff"

the file extension is meant to be at the end, not the frame number (don't have maya on this mac but i think the format is something like name#frameNumber.#fileExtension, i probably got that totally wrong because i've never actually paid attention to it, i just scroll through until i get the right one)

you also need to have frame padding (usually 4 works), this will insert leading 0's in front of the frame number, it'll allow AE to recognize all the frames in the sequence

you can see what your files are going to be called in the render settings where you make your adjustments to the file name

take a look at the maya help files too, one of the tutorials explains this (it was to do with rendering an apple)




that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D
