I'm sure I remember AE being able to import raw still files in years past (AE 7/8 era) but lately I get an error when I try to import files from a Nikon or Canon:
After Effects error: File couldn't be opened for writing: .. (3::0)
I've run the sequences through Lightroom to create sidecar XML files to see if that would help the process but no luck. At the moment I have to convert to PSD or TIFF and go from there, but that's not an ideal workflow.
Is there any trick to importing raw files into AE, or can it not be done? I'm running the latest CC version. Cheers
