Can’t Drag & Drop from iTunes into After Effects CS5
Hi everyone,
For some reason I have lost the ability to drag and drop mp3 and other unprotected sound files from iTunes into After Effects CS5 project panel. Some info:
Windows 7 64 bit
After Effects CS5 ver. 10.0.1.19
iTunes ver. 10.0.1.22It used to be with CS3 version of AE and some previous version of iTunes on Windows XP, dragging an mp3 from iTunes to the Project panel worked just fine.
Now the only way to do this is to drag and drop to the desktop (which makes a copy), and then drag and drop that to After Effects. However, this is a bad solution because AE is now referencing the desktop copy, not the original song that iTunes was referencing.
Any ideas…? Thanks!

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the response. Regardless whether it’s an mp3 or a WAV, After Effects simply won’t accept a drag-and-drop from iTunes. However, it will accept it from everywhere else for some reason (i.e. the desktop, a folder)
I love using iTunes as a music file browser and organizer so that I don’t have to hunt through layers of folder architecture. I have always used this handy feature between the two programs until I upgraded to Windows 7 and CS5 and now it won’t work. My After Effects is indeed 10.0.1. I’m just not sure how to fix it at this point.
Any other ideas would be appreciated!
