Any way I can use an apple motion template in after affects?
try opening it and see if it works
noppes, already read it.
and the readme file doesnt give direction?
It seems like the earlier versions were able to? but CC isnt. maybe install an earlier version and see if that works?
I came across this:
If you are using AE CS 5.5 or lower version, then you can use Pro import from Automatic Duck:

I f you have AE CS6 then this feature is already there:
didnt do the trick 
do i need to uninstall it now?
Any other way I can try?
I dont know of any other way
you can uninstall it if you dont want it on your computer
don’t know if you tried this already - but Depending on where you downloaded it from try searching for the same thing and most times they have an after effects version of it also.
I checked, they didnt have it.
I just recreated it, it wasnt such a complicated template.
Thanks!
