I recently decided to give After Effects a try instead of Combustion since more and more people I know are using it. I shoot HVX200 and edit with Avide Xpress Pro HD but am having trouble bringing those files into AECS3. I created a DVCProHD 720p 23.976 composite but, whenever I try to import HVX footage from Avid, the computer freezes up. I've tried both a QT reference and a same as source file from Avid. I've also tried both of those with and without the Avid DV Codec. Nothing will work. Any ideas?

Try exporting something a little more generic like Quicktime with the Animation codec, or Quicktime with the PNG codec.

Wouldn't that make quality loss happen?
 
I'm working strait PC. In Combustion, I tended to go uncompressed so I wouldn't lose quality but I'd really like to get QT references to work here. I mean, what's the point of AE letting me chose DVCProHD 720p 23.976 if it's not gonna accept it?
