timeline automatic creation on import

[Victor Wolansky]

seems that the new behavior is hat a new timeline is created for any imported element on the last version of AE, this is rather annoying and a waste of time deleting unnecessary timelines.

Is there a way to avoid this behavior?

Thanks!

There is a checkbox in the finder panel that is opened when you Import. Just uncheck it. Import will always remember the last settings you have selected.

In Preferences>Import there is an option to drag multiple items as footage or as a composition.

All of this is noted in the new features documentation that you should at least take a look at before you upgrade. There are a lot of other changes that can be very important if you are an advanced user like changes to the Expressions Engine and Video Rendering and Effects options available in the Project Settings Panel.
