Suddenly can't import XML timeline into AAE

Hi, I am using workflow DaVinci Resolve (for edit) -> XML -> AAE (for VFX) for years.

 

Today, wanted to import XML timeline to AAE again, but nothing happened. Tried close all panels, but still XML import is not working, nothing happens. When I try to drag&drop it, the red icon appears next to the cursor. I was using it normally for years, I don't know what happened.

 

I have newest update of AAE 25.2.2 (Build 2), BUT weird thing is, that it doesn't work even in older CC2024 version. That probably means that something happened with my system? Is there some shared .XML plugin for import XML to AAE, that would stop working? Or anything?

 

Thanks for suggestions.

Dave

Hi, is it possible to get some answer from some Adobe expert, please?

 

Thank you.

Really no answer, even from any Adobe person? Why is not possible to import XML timelines into AAE?

Temporarily solved by buying this plugin - https://aescripts.com/edl-importer/

 

But I would be really glad if this would be somehow solved, because I used this feature a lot.

 

Thanks

I just purchased this plugin. It doesn’t import XML. Only imports EDL.
