MXF import error. Can't use MXF files in After Effects.

I too am having this issue. Was working on a project where I imported a Premiere timeline into After Effects which contained .mxf media (Canon). For the last month no issue (it's an ongfoing project). Yesterday, I had to make a change. Started Premiere, made the change, went to After Effects and did my import as usual and the above error message appeared. The only thing that changed on my system was updating AE. I haven't tried the cache solution yet due to time constraints so I downgraded to an eralier version of AE for now, but this is a major problem going forward. Is anything being done to address the issue?

It looks like it's a name/path error: if you rename and keep everything simple, AE imports them with no issues.

PLEASE FIX IT, there are projects that aren't working anymore because of this issue!

Thanks, @nishu_kush!

@jasonz76628015, you may also want to try clearing the Media Cache Files located at C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache Files. These are not cleared when you use "Clean Database & Cache" in Preferences >  Media & Disk Cache.

That's strange! I can import the file without any problem. Can you try running After Effects in Safe Mode and see if that brings any change?

Let us know.

I'll move the thread from Bugs to Discussions for troubleshooting.

Thanks,

Rolling back 1 version did fix the problem.

Did a fresh install of AE and still cannot import MXF.

This issue began when I updated After Effects.

Workaround is rendering .mov from Premiere.
