After Effect Composition turns black with importing images only

Hi my compositions layer in AE suddenly disappear, how can I solve it? I have just importing the images only.

As Mylenium says, it appears that you're looking at your layers edge-on in Left view. Switch to Active Camera view.

Premiere pro CC " Replace With After Effect Composition" Cinema DNG AKA CDNG Issue

I am trying to right click on a cinema dng file and do a "replace" with After Effects Composition. When doing so it only brings in a single frame rather than the entire adjusted video clip. Does anyone know a solution or workaround? Is Adobe aware of this problem? Will they continue to support Cinema DNG files? or should we lean to another NLE? Please advise adobe.

Thanks.
After some testing, it looks to be an After Effects issue. The Replace command did open up AE, create a new project, import the segment of the clip I wanted, and created a proper composition with the correct duration. It even opened up the Camera Raw adjustment panel for me to play around in. The problem was that every frame of that 1 second long clip was identical, it was the first frame of the whole clip.
When I went into the Media Browser and opened up the same clip from the hard drive, it too opened up as the whole clip seeing only that first frame.
When I imported using a right click>Import command (exactly what we shouldn't be doing in PP with tapeless media), the clip came in properly with all frames.
So AE is acting weird with CinemaDNG files, it seems. You may have to start out in AE and DL from there to PP.

Premiere Pro cc 2014 do not import After Effects composition. Inside Premiere Pro CC 2014 is not possible call back After Effects, is not possible to work with After Effects. Thank you

You haven't given us much to go on here. What exactly are you doing and what exactly happens when you try? Which specific version of each program are you using? (Go to Help>About...)
On a side note, a simple, brief thread title is all that's needed. Something like "After Effects Issue" would be fine. You don't need the full question there.

Dynamic Link/ Replace with After Effects Composition between Premiere Pro CC to After Effects CC won't work. Says "importer reported a generic error"

Trying to use the "Replace with After Effects Composition" to use Warp Stabilizer on a clip and transfer it back into Premiere Pro CC. The action is not "grayed out" it allows me to click it and it opens up After Effects, then asks to open a new composition, but it doesn't open up the clip for me to work on it.
Also is the Dynamic Link and Replace with After Effects Composition the same thing?
Ive watched several tutorials and read threads but I still don't understand who to fix my problem.
I have both CC versions of PP and AE, if that makes any difference.

You have not provided any system information, no details about your sequence settings, your footage and whatnot. Nobody can even guess what may be going on.

Import After Effects composition - blending modes will not transfer to Premiere

I have a lower thirds composition I want to import from After Effects CC into Premiere Pro CC. While I have no problem importing the composition, I do have a problem with Premiere Pro displaying properly the blending modes I set in AE.
I've tried every blending mode... (I read somewhere Premiere Pro is only compatible with some AE blending modes.)
What appears in Premiere is a completely flat composition.
Is it possible to import an After Effects composition, including blending modes? Any suggestions?
Blending Mode effect shown below, Soft Light. (After Effects first, Premiere Pro second.)

@ Jim Simon
Here's a sample of the lower-third in various stages. Each image is only a few frames of eachother (to show it's animated). As you can see in the final image (in Premiere), it's as tho the blend mode imports – you can see the light gray uglyness – but doens't blend.
After Effects composition, without blending mode.
After Effects compostion with blending mode, Soft Light.

PP CS6 to AE CC 2014 (Replace with After Effects Composition)?

Hey guys, been a CS6 user for a little while now and don't require the complete CC subscription but really like working with AE. So I subscribed to Single App membership CC AE 2014. I launch PP CS6 chop some clips and send them to AE via Replace with After Effects Composition and in turn this dialog pops up stating "The importer reported a generic error" and them are the brakes. I uninstalled AE CS6 because when replacing a clip with a AE Comp AE CS6 launches. Are these two programmes not talking to each other? Like crippled.

Hey thanks cc_merchant, that doesn't come as a surprise to me, I guess I'm just a little disappointed by this on two levels, one this not having been mentioned or it is mentioned but well hidden and secondly that it's purposely crippled. That's business.

Replace with after effects composition problem, video dissapears

Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem with premiere's cs5 "replace with after effects composition" command. Every time I try doing it I get just a new comp made in after effects but no files so the screen is just black without content.
Then the video in premiere dissapears too and the "file" in the timeline turns a pink color.
Any ideas about whats going on here? thanks in advance.

Grant, I did figure it out (and felt rather silly when I did). You have to select all your files from the Project portion of AE and drag them into the Render segment - bottom left corner of your AfterEffects screen - in order for them to play. I guess I should have come back to the forum and reported once I got it working, so everyone would know that there's nothing wrong with Adobe. Once you do that, there are all sorts of super-cool things you can do with a slide show for video presentation. I did decide to put it into Windows Media Play and convert to MPEG before uploading to the internet, however, because it reduced the size to roughly 15% of AVI. I preserved AVI for DVD because of quality, which is far better.
There's an awesome video tutorial - thank you, Andrew Kramer!! - on creating slideshows at: http://library.creativecow.net/articles/kramer_andrew/slideshows/video-tutorial.php - now that you (hopefully) know what you're doing wrong in AE.

Replace with after effects composition not bringing in media

When I replace a premiere clip with an after effects comp it creates a new composition but doesn't bring in the media. Anyone have a answer?

I am having the same issue. When I "replace with after effects composition" it creates an AE comp but no media files transfer over.
I've been able to work around it but when I want to use a small clip from a long video file it's a big hassle to re-import the footage into AE and find the clip I need to mess with, then re-place back in premiere.
This problem occurs with any media, whether it's a JPEG image, a PSD file, or video footage (MOV format shot on a Canon DSLR).

Clips from Premiere not appearing in After Effects when replacing them with an AE composition

I am attempting for the first time, moving my edit from a sequence in Premiere Pro (CC) to After Effects, in an effort to color correct my clips in Ae rather than Pr. I highlight all the clips in my edit from my sequence, right click, and select "Replace with After Effects Composition." This then opens After Effects as it is suppose to, and has me create a new project. It then shows that I have created a new linked composition, the way it is suppose to, but does not have any clips linked with it. As I understand, your project tab will show both the composition and the clips. I am only getting the composition. What do I need to do to send my sequence from Premiere to After Effects?

I think it's a bug. The same thing happens to me. To work around it, I go to AE and either import the Pr project choosing the sequence I want, or I use the Adobe Dynamic Link command to link to the desired sequence.

Can't import After Effects Compositions

When adding an After Effects Project the "Import After Effects Composition" window opens but no compositions appear. I haven't had any luck finding documentation about this problem. Seems to only affect After Effects, Premiere sequences still import with no problem. Any suggestions? Thanks.

It's possible that your firewall software is blocking the communication between After Effects and Adobe Media Encoder. See this page for a solution if that is the underlying problem:

"Replace with After Effects composition" in PP CS6 causes crash in AE CS6

Hello,
When I right click on a movie-file in a Premiere Pro seqence and choose "Replace with After Effects composition" AF starts, it asks me what I want the file name to be, "save" this and go on. I can see the interface for a short while, then it crashes and closes. In PP I get the error "The importer reported a generic error"
I have the latest versions of both PP and AE, downloaded from Creative Cloud.
What can I do to solve this?
By the way - when clicking on an audio track, "Edit in Audition" is greyed out... Problems with Dynamic link?
Regards,
Håkan

Fuzzy,
I have now tried what you told me (and some more), without any success;
- Cleared all the files in the named folders
- reinstalled After Effects
- deactivated and reactivated the suite
Every time I try to:
- right click a video file in PP and choose "replace with...."
- copies a video file and pastes into AE...
AE crashes.
When I copy into AE it works until I drag the clip to "New composition", then it crashes.
Hopefully you, or anyone else, have more suggestions. I really need some rain on this clip...:)
UPDATE:
I have now tested with other footage, An MPEG-clip from my Sony (.m2ts) - this works well, both when I copy and paste, and when I use the "Replace..." within PP. The clip can be played in timeline without any problems.
Using the "Replace..." also works well "back in" PP - the effects are there when switching to PP.
However - when I add an XDCAM-HD 422 Movie (.MXF) file to this project it is ok, I can scratch (is that the correct english for using the mouse to "browse" the file in timeline?) this file in a comp, but as soon as I press "spacebar" to make it play "by itself", AE crashes.
Regards,
Håkan

Premiere Pro - replace After Effects composition with original footage?

I have a Premiere Pro project where I have replaced some clips with linked After Effects compositions (= doing the grading and stabilization in AE).
Is there a way of undoing this and easily reverting to the original clips in the place of the linked compositions? I'm thinking of a command that would simply restore the original clips.
Thanks!

No such animal, I'm afraid, though it would be nice. You have a couple options:
Always, always, always be sure to duplicate your sequence and stash it away somewhere in your project before doing the Replace. That way you have something to go back to if you need it. Always.
Immediately after initiating a Replace (and letting the comp be created in AE with all footage imported), Edit > Undo (Ctrl+Z) the action in Premiere. This will undo the Replace and remove the comp from Premiere, BUT the comp will still be created and all footage placed in it in After Effects. After you do your work in AE, just drag the AE comp into Premiere, and plop it on a track above your original edit. That way, you can easily tweak the original edit in Premiere, and then copy and paste stuff back in AE to your DL'ed comp, if you need to.
This will have varying degrees of success, but may be your only salvage if it's too late for the first two: you can copy and paste your footage items from your AE comp into a new Premiere Pro sequence, or you can use File > Export > Premiere Pro Project from AE, and then import that into Premiere. Either way, it's going to be a little ugly due to the way that AE and Premiere work differently with their respective timelines (layers vs. tracks), but it can save your bacon when you need it. I've actually used this method to recover hopelessly busted Premiere Pro projects, as well; it takes some rebuilding, but at least you don't lose everything.

'replace with after effects composition'

hey guys, so when editing this one video in pr, I decided to color correct a couple clips in AE so I just right clicked them and chose replace with after effects composition, so it would nicely replace in the pr timeline with the corrected footage.
except when I finished the third one I looked back and realized the first two clips were replaced with the thrird clip! so that clip appeared 3 times in my video! I was trying to import the ae comps separately and everything but it kept thinking that they were the same clip, the ae projects were all named clip 1, clip 2 and clip 3, I could open them up in ae and they were fine, just not when bringing them to ae.
why is this? thats not supposed to be right? I should be able to 'replace with after effects comp' for multiple clips if I want right?

Grant, I did figure it out (and felt rather silly when I did). You have to select all your files from the Project portion of AE and drag them into the Render segment - bottom left corner of your AfterEffects screen - in order for them to play.

"Replace with after effects composition" on Premiere gives me a empty AE project...

I'm selecting and right clicking footage from my Premiere timeline, clicking "Replace with after effects composition", and getting a black, empty screen on After Effects.. There is no footage under Project in AE, and the footage I selected on Premiere also became black. .
I'm using the CS5 version of both programs, and video clips from my 7D... What could be wrong?

I am also having this problem. It worked before but now it isn't I did change to Windows 8 recently but I don't know why that would cause it. Here are some pictures to show
Premiere Pro CC and AE CC both updated today, both restared today. You can see the footage is there and PP is reading it. It is an MPEG2 file. easy.
Right Click on replace with after effect comp
AE opens up and I create a new project
Comp is blank. No footage. Lenght is correct though.
If I tab back to Premiere the footage is gone and shows only black.
Please help.
