Where the pro import AAF gone in 24??

[onnpro87]

I'm using it non stop to import sequences from Avid to After, V23 was crashes so many times on the last few months so I decided to upgrade, but I can't find the pro import! and of course I can't do a regular import / draging the AAF to the project..

This is a big problem as there are so many using media composer to after effects workflow.

Adobe can you please respond to this?

We depend on Avid media composer to after effects via AAF workflow. We wanted to update our post production facility to work on the new after effects 24.1 version and saw that Pro import was removed. .Can you chime in on why this was removed?

Hi naves31200335,

Are you on macOS or Windows? If on macOS, this option was removed a few years back. Sorry about that.

On Windows, the option is not available in the current version. The team is aware of this and it should come back in future releases. Meanwhile, you can either use the 2023 version or copy the ProImport folder from C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects 2023\Support Files\Plug-ins\Format over to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects 2024\Support Files\Plug-ins\Format manually and that will get it working again.

Let us know if that works for you.

Thanks,

Nishu

Thank you! I am on PC and following those instructions restored it for me. This is so critical to so many places that have media composer to after effects workflows.

This is a big problem for our company. We rely on Pro Import for moving from Avid Media Composer to AFX and back with AAF files. Looks like we have to roll back to the previous version until it's fixed. Adobe, please make this a priority.
