[SOLVED] After Effects Error 86::1 After Effects 2015-2020 in Windows 8-10

Today I faced same problem. Can't attach the MOV file into composition. After Effects Error 86::1 The source compression type is not supported.

 

[[SOLUTION]]

Just change the extension of the file .mov to .avi 

same, change any extension to another.

 

MAGIC!!
Enjoy!

      I have the same issue. I tried renaming the files to .avi but it just breaks them. For context I'm trying to transfer my project from adobe animate to after effects but I can't even copy paste to bring the layers over so idk what to do.

        I seriously does not see this as a solution when you have multiple files to rename that previous worked fine.
