Hi all! So this is a new thing. Each time I go to import an asset, be it an image, video, or audio, AE creates a new comp for each asset. This fills the Project pane with a lot of useless assets that I won't use and gets jumbled and confusing. Any suggestions as to why this started happening and how to make it not happen? I've checked through the preference items but maybe I'm missing something..? Thanks for your time!

You also need to pay close attention to the bottom of the Import Panel popup. There is a little checkbox down there that says create a new comp from selected.

Preferences --> Import --> Drag & Drop behavior and so on. Also check the import type settings for specific types, some of which of course also can automatically create matching comps of you choose so.

YAAASSSSS! That is the solution! Thank you Rick! I NEVER would have seen that and this would have been a source of frustration from here out! Perfect! Thank you so much!
