Question

After Effects Import .MP4 issue

So Is searched and Searched the forums and other websites

The problem is the same as Afters Effects 2020 and Premiere 2020...

BUT If I use any of these 2 Adobe After Effects 2019 or Adobe Premiere 2019

I can basically import any Video Files on to the timeline no problem

with the 2020 version of this Software, they just don't import. Why is this

Iv read on some of these Topics in these Forums that this is Solved

They recommend to Transcode the files in a different format. 

That's not Solved that's only a workaround,

why can I just Drop files in like 2019 versions?

I find transcoding annoying, not only the make files way Bigger as example

I had a 300mb file which transcoded into Pro res 3GB

I cant be transcoding and re-linking files that's just so much of extra work and headache..

 

For this reason, I have been not able to move over to 2020 when it first came out

can anyone please help what I need to do Thankyou,

 

SKY

Hi SKY,

 

Thanks for reaching out.

What happens exactly when you try to import MP4 files? Do you see any error message? If so, please share a screenshot. Also, is it happening with a particular MP4 file or all of them?

We're here to help, just need more info.

 

Thanks,
