The workaround I was able to use: import directly into After effects. I used the basic (Ctrl + I) importer, select first frame of the series (And only first frame)...imports the rest that are in the same folder on your hard drive with it. From there you have access to the Raw controls (exposure etc) without transcoding to DNG or any other format... No conversion was necessary. Repeat for each set you want to import. Create a comp with size desired for your end result and drop the imported clip or clips into the comp. Transform the clip to the comp size (if smaller than clip of raw files). The only other thing you may want to do is separate your clips into different sub folders on your hard drive so you can edit each "group" take / scene individually (White balance per 30 frame shot etc) when you import them into after effects. I hope that helps,
