As another user, and commenting just as a practical matter, that's a really ... um ... potentially problematic workflow.

 

It's vastly better to have the program open to the project you want to be working in when you import media/assets. From long experience, I don't even recommend dragging from a Finder/Explorer window as that can at times 'miss' some needed extra files/meta, especially for spanned clips & AVCHD and similar files.

 

I've not found that the 'internal' import processes take any more time than launching Explorer, finding the files, and the drag/drop process. So it's not time-saving in any way I can measure.

Hey,

Quick fix at the moment is to downgrade your software.

Good luck.

Hi Sam5EE7!

Thanks for writing in. Do you see any errors while importing? Can you share more details on what's happening? 

Let us know.
