Color photographic motion picture elements adapted to form a multicolor photographic dye image and an integral, infrared-absorbing, dye sound track and comprising 1-hydroxy-2-N-(5-alkyl-thiazol-2-yl)-naphthamide couplers that are capable of forming quinone imine dyes absorbing infrared radiation in the spectral range from about 600 to about 1000 nm by reaction with an oxidized aromatic primary amino developing agent, the thiazol-2-yl group of said naphthamide couplers bearing a 4-para-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxyphenyl group or a 4-para-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkylphenyl group, the hydrogen atoms of said C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl being unsubstituted or at least one of them having been substituted by a halogen atom.
Infrared-absorbing quinone imine dyes formed by a coupling reaction between an oxidized aromatic primary amino compound and 1-hydroxy-2-N-(5-alkyl-thiazol-2-yl)-naphthamide couplers bearing on the thiazol-2-yl group a 4-para-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxyphenyl group or a 4-para-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkylphenyl group, the hydrogen atoms of said C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl being unsubstituted or at least one of them having been substituted by a halogen atom.
