you can perhaps drag and drop your files fro= m folder window to after effects

Are you on Mac= or PC?

If on Mac open a new Finder window, go to = main folder containing all your footage. Do search for mp4 and constrain se= arch to just that folder. Select all files and just drag them into AE proje= ct window.

If on PC, unfortunately I can't help you there. Sor= ry.

Sony XDC= AM EX (Sony PMW-F3 camera) data structure embeds each .mp4 file inside a me= tadata folder unique to each clip. Contrast to P2 MXF data where all video = files reside in a ..CONTENTS\VIDEO folder and can be imported as a group.
