I updated yesterday and now I'm finding out I can't import video files!!!... anyone else having this issue? I get 2 messages:

 

After Effects error: Could not read from source. Please check the settings and try again.

(86::1)

 

After clicking OK I get another message:

 

After effects error: file 'name of file' cannot be imported - this '.mp4' file is damaged or unsupprted.

 

I've uninstalled and installed codecs, I've tied the quicktime fix, I've tried with mp4, m2t, mkv... no problems with Premiere or Media Encoder, just with AE.

Rolled back to older version. Now everything works fine.

I can't roll back, the only option I get is "uninstall"... which means re installing a bunch of other software and extensions... so annoying, sigh.

Hi there,

 

Thanks for reaching out. Try moving your file to another location within your local drive and then try to import it. For example, your desktop. If that doesn't help then check if there are any special characters in the file name.

Let us know if it helps.

 

Thanks,

Nishu
