Take a closer look at the CODEC that the files use.
Even with QuickTime movies that use a supported CODEC, I’ve gotten that error message with files that don’t have “.mov” in the filename. So, they opened just fine as “filename” in AE CC2017 and then don’t open in AE CC2018. Adding “filename.mov” allowed the files to open/relink.
It’s discontinued technology and can be anywhere from a minor to major workflow challenge.

Well thanks for that. That kind of sucks. Seems like some backward technology.
Got it though.
Eric They are in a QuickTime codec that is no longer supported. You will have to open them in an older version of ae and re-render them to another format- perhaps even an image sequence. Sent from my iPhone Hello All,
I've been meaning to try and sort this out but I bought this package of stock people on green screen, like partying, socializing, etc.
I was using it in a project a few months back, got through that project thankfully, then suddenly I opened it up and AE would no longer read the files.
I call it my Green Screen people folder and they are all .mov files.
It's not localized to just any one file. I have like 25 files and not a one read anymore, inside AE or out.
The specific error in AE is 86::1 And reads "After Effects error: Source file has no importable steams. Please check that it is a valid video/audio file."
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Eric
