Custom search paths

Just like you might want to instruct Pro Import AE to never search certain places you
might also want to give the plug-in some priority locations where the plug-in should
search for media files. Pro Import AE will search these locations you add to this list
before any other.

This is especially useful on Windows where the plug-in is not able to search the entire
system for media files.

Comp and Layers

Audio Layers

Final Cut Pro and Avid editing systems express the clips on each track individually,
therefore what you think of as one clip containing video and two audio channels actually
presents itself as three in the XML, AAF and OMF files. This means that single clip will
make three layers in After Effects. You might like that, you might not, but we offer you
controls to make you happy either way.

Ignore

This is self-explanatory, right? Audio clips are ignored with this selection.

Add Normally

When this is selected each audio clip on each track is created as a separate layer in
After Effects.

Place in Subcomp

This option helps reduce the number of layers in your comp and moves all of the audio
layers into a nested composition.

Enable on Video Layers

Only applicable to FCP XML imports, this option does not create any audio layers in
your After Effects Composition, instead layers that use footage containing audio will
have their audio enabled as well as their picture.
