Common problem that you may encounter?
Q1. Every time I try to import MOV into after effects it doesn’t support it or something. Why?
Q2. I am a beginner in using Adobe After Effects CS4 I am trying to import files (videos) with extensions like MOV. They will not import; After Effects doesn’t support that file type according to the program. Any suggestions?
Q3. I have a weird problem with importing MOV files into Adobe After Effects CS3. When I try to import my MOV file, it says the file type is unsupported. I don’t get it, can anyone help me? By the way I’m on Vista if that matters at all.
What is the main reason?
MOV is just a container file, like AVI. There are, literally, tons of different codecs that it could be.

Locate any element in a comp or project with the new QuickSearch. Quickly navigate between nested comps with the new Mini-Flowchart.
• Independent keyframing of x, y, z values, plus 3D compositing improvements
Composite in 3D space more easily: Keyframe x, y, and z position values separately, and use the new unified camera, which makes the After Effects camera tool work more like those in 3D modeling applications.
• Compositions exported as layered projects
Export compositions as layered, XFL format projects that can be opened and edited in Adobe Flash® CS4 Professional software. Many After Effects assets such as text and Adobe Illustrator® artwork are preserved as vectors.

• Integrated workflow for mobile device authoring
Select devices in Adobe Device Central and automatically set up an After Effects project that targets those devices, with settings that match the targeted devices and the Render Queue setup to output to the proper codecs and resolutions.
• Mocha for Adobe After Effects from Imagineer Systems
Use this powerful 2.5D planar tracking application from Imagineer Systems to track the motion of elements — even in challenging shots where elements move offscreen or where there is motion blur or excessive grain.
• Numerous interface and workflow tweaks
Work more efficiently with dozens of user-requested changes, including the new Auto Resolution setting that only renders visible pixels when zooming in and out of a comp view, streamlined memory and multicore processing preferences, and more.
