  • I cannot drag and drop folders and files

    Hey guys, I’ve been viewing tutorials on After Effects CS5 and everyone seems to be able to drag and drop files + folders into the project window.
    For some reason I cannot…everytime I drag a folder or file into the project window; the cursor turns into a black “unable” sign in the shape of those “stop” signs.
    Any settings I need to do?
    I have windows 7 64 bit and I’m running 64bit After Effects CS5.
    Quad core Cpu with 4 GB RAM.

    Thanks in advance guys.

    I assume you’ve gotten it fixed, but I was having the same problem and found this thread. so to help anyone else who finds this.
    For me, I stopped running it as administrator and it works back to dragable again.
