    Use Adobe Media Encoder (or, if that doesn't work, Handbrake) to convert your video to a production codec - that is, DNxHD, Cineform, QuickTime with the PNG codec, QuickTime with the Photo-JPEG codec, etc. and then import the resulting video into After Effects.

    Is there more easier way because converting will take a long time with long footages ??

    No.

    Shadow Play records at a variable frame rate. After Effects can not deal with that. It must be converted first.
