After Effects automatically creating new comps?

Question

Recently my after effects has been automatically creating new compositions every time I import footage into a project. I've looked through the preferences, but there doesn't seem to be an option that controls this. This wasn't happening when I first starting using this version so I think I must've changed some settings but don't know how to change it back. Any idea how I can stop after-effects from automatically creating new comp when I import footage? Other than resetting the preferences?

Actually, I seemed to have solved my own problem. But for people experiencing the same issue, other than resetting preferences, this is what you can do:

Go to file > Import > file

Before you select an image or footage if you look a little bit low you'll see an option called "CREATE COMPOSITION" under "IMPORT FILE"

Just uncheck 'create composition' and that should solve the issue
