With the new update, when I try to import a Photoshop file with seperate layers into After Effects 2020 I no longer get the option to work with separate editable layers. Am I seeing or doing something wrong? HELP!

Correct answer Jose Panadero

Check that your PSD is not in CMYK color space. After Effects cannot import layered PSD files in CMYK.

    You make sure that the file format is Photshop, adding the extension as *.psd. You try to import it.
