    I've transferred a windows project to my M1 mac and discovered it will not import or recognize .ma files. I have Maya 2020 installed and licensed properly. This all works fine on windows 10. Have I missed something?

    The issue was .meta files. Copying straight over from Windows didn't work. I opened the .ma file in maya on the mac and re-saved, thus updating the .meta file.
