Cannot Import After Effects Composition into Premiere CS5.5.

So here's my issue:
I made an After Effects Project and I'm using Dynamic Link to bring it over into Premiere.  My project, and all of its compositions are fine. But, I recently created a new composition and created my animation on it or whatever. Now, when I go to import it to Premiere, its not there. I've saved, I've tried precomposing, and it lets me import other compositions from that very same After Effects Project. I've saved it, I've closed and reopened both premiere and after effects, I've restarted my computer. And please, oh please. Don't tell me I need to reinstall all of my programs. I get that answer all too often.
Extra Details:
I noticed that my composition (inside After Effects) is open and editable at the bottom of the screen. But, in the "bin area" or whatever it's called, my composition isn't listed there after I created it and did all this work and I believe Dynamic Link is using that list to import the project over to Premiere. So how would I get it to show up on that list?

Not sure what you are saying. If there is no comp in the project window (or "bin area" in your words), it doesn't exist - short of perhaps having hidden in one of the folders there. Clarify what exactly you are doing. Also screenshots of your respecive windows and import dialogs might help (attach them using the camera icon).  And finally, do provide some system info, what footage types you use, comp settings, sequence settings in Premiere and so on. The weirdest things can influence this stuff from some bad comp naming to hard technical issues anything is possible.

  • I can't import After effects composition into sequence timeline

    Hello everyone
    I am using CS5.5 Master Collection and I have Premiere sequence which I have imported into After Effects via Dynamic Link; I have added some effects etc... Now I am trying to pull the sequence back into Premiere which I have done via Dynamic Link (import after effects composition), which imports the composition fine, however it wont allow me to add the composition to the timeline.  It will however play the composition in the source window.
    Has anyone else come accross this and how do I fix it?
    I have tried looking on youtube and I can see it working for others and no one specifically shows or does anything different to what I am doing.. Please help me.
    Kind regards,
    Milan

    I see what you are saying.  I tested that scenario, and you are correct, it doesn't let you:
    - create a premiere pro sequence
    - open after effects
    - import that premiere pro sequence
    - make changes to that sequence in after effects
    - open premiere
    - import that after effects sequence
    which is essense, would be a link back around back to a premiere pro sequence, so it's been dynamically linked twice.
    It would be interesting if it did allow it, you could do some weird looping stuff, or probably blow up the software .
    Remember, whatever you send over to AE in this method is "replaced with after effects composition", you aren't going to be able to "edit" it back in Premiere.  You replaced that edit with an AE composition.  You have to work with that in mind.
    The main thing about dynamic link is it elimates exporting & importing to get to another program, by just using the project file itself instead as a clip.
    Hope that clarifies things a bit for you,

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.

  • CANNOT IMPORT FCP  .XML FILE INTO PREMIERE PRO CS5

    Hi,
    Camera used:-Sony Pmw Ex3
    Footage       :- XDCAM  sp(1440 * 1080i) PAL
    Edited in      :-final cut pro 7
    Error            :- failed  to import .xml file into premiere pro cs5
    I tried  to import the .xml file into premiere CS5 ,it asked for the media files  to relink .whn i linked the .mp4 files it showed the  error messege "The  selected file cannot be linked becouse it has 2 audio channel(s) and  the clip was created with 1 audio channel(s).
    then i tried to relink the .mov instead of .mp4 file (which i  used in final cut pro on apple machine)i got  the error "Codec missing  or unavailable"
    what should i do???..i almost done all the  editing in final cut pro and i bought the adobe coz i thought i can  finish all the pending FCP projects in Premier Pro..??

    What is the CODEC in your MOV file(s)? MOV is but a "wrapper," like AVI. This ARTICLE will give you some background. It could be that you just need the proper CODEC, or it could be that it is a Mac-only CODEC, and then you will need for the producer to Export in another CODEC, that is PC-compatible.
    This ARTICLE will give you some background on CODEC's, in general.
    Good luck,

  • 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:

  • After Effects project into Premiere Pro

    I am having trouble importing my After Effects  project into Premiere. It isn't playing once I bring it in to my premiere.

    What versions of After Effects and Premiere Pro? What operating system? What kinds of source footage?
    What exactly are you doing? What menu commands are you choosing, and what things are you clicking, and in what order?
    Here is a page that describes ways to move things from After Effects and Premiere Pro and vice versa:
    "Working with Premiere Pro and After Effects
    There are many ways to move things between these applications, but importing an After Effects project into Premiere Pro is not one of them, so I'm confused by your issue as you've stated it.

  • Importing After Effects document to Premiere Pro errors: "The importer reported a generic error."

    I´m using Premiere Pro CC ver 2014.1. and After Effets 2014.1.1. in OS X Yosemite. I can't import After Effects project to Premiere.
    There is always same error message: "The importer reported a generic error."
    I have tryed to save After document several different names and greate new ones. Always same error. Whats wrong in my workflow?

    Okay so I've searched around most of this forum and as much of Google as I could find - I have found similar problems, but nothing exactly the same; and none of the solutions I've found have worked for me. I've seen a lot of people having trouble connecting to the DL server on the file-selection window, but I don't even get that far - an error message just pops up in the middle of my screen - and my error doesn't mention a server, just that it can't connect to AE DL.
    I changed firewall software (which I've wanted to do for months, anyway) and still to no avail.
    As for the "The importer reported a generic error" problem also, I can't find any problems or solutions with After Effects files not being able to be imported.

  • Is there a way to Import After effect files into motion

    I was wondering if there is a way to import after effects files into motion.

    hi
    no there is not. The only thing you can do is to export the layers out of AE as movies and import them into Motion. Of course you are then hard baking everything and you lose control, but that would be the same if you went to any other system.

  • 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.

  • Problems with After Effects video in Premiere CS5

    I've run into an interesting problem using sequences in Premiere Pro CS5 that I create in After Effects CS5. Here's the skinny: I created a sequence in AE, 1440x1080. I exported the composition as a movie (avi). I then imported it into my 1440x1080 Premiere project. It looked great when playing it in the preview monitor. But - when I place the video clip on the timeline, I first get a green bar and then a red bar - even when the clip is the only video on the timeline. And sometimes the red bar even extends to a clip that's adjacent to the AE clip. When I render the effects in the sequence, the red bar problem goes away - BUT the quality of the AE clip is compromised. The image gets noticeably noisy and degraded. Does anyone have insights as to why this is happening? Am I exporting the AE sequence incorrectly? Many thanks.

    Jim,
    I was able to import an AE comp into Premiere using your suggestion below. After I rendered it in Premiere, it played fine. Thanks.

  • Some problems to import AFX CS6 file into PREMIERE CS5

    Hi and thank you for your help
    My problem after an update from AFX CS5 to AFX CS6:
    I work with Premiere CS5. I arranged some clips X, Y, and Z. Now I would like to transform clip Y into an AFX compositon. I have PREMIERE CS5, AFX CS5 and AFX CS6. If I click "transform into AFX composition" AFX CS6 will open. Now I could do my work in AFX CS6 but when I'm finished and go back to PREMIERE. PREMIERE CS5 wont work with this new AFX CS6 file. It appears an empty dialog box with COMPOSITION but there is no COMPOSITION I can select.
    My question:
    I work with PREMIERE CS5 how can I change the AFX version from CS6 back to CS5 ?
    Thank you very much folks!!

    Just to clarify... you are asking how to change the dynamic link out of Premiere so it opens AFX CS5 instead of AFX CS6, correct?
    Sorry to say I do not have an answer to that. But if you are working with just one clip ("Y" in your example) then you could begin a new AFX CS5 project (through the normal AFX open process), import that one clip, do your thing, save it, and then import the AFX CS5 project into Premiere CS5. Not as elegant as what you hoped for, so hopefully someone can answer your original question.

  • "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.

  • Problems importing After Effects files into FCP

    Hey guys--
    So I have this odd problem importing my after effects clips into FCP. I am working in standard DV, and my After Effects composition settings match my FCP settings.
    I am snipping little bits from my FCP project, exporting them to QT, adding stuff on top in AE, then shooting the clip back to FCP. The problem is, whent he clip goes back to FCP it is slightly "pinched." It's not really thaat visible, unless I try to edit a cut in the same shot. The after effects clip is a couple pixels wider, and the quality is a little blurry. If it is a hard edit, you wouldn't even notice the difference, but the two shots together make it pretty noticeable. I'm not set to square pixels or anything, and i get the same results no matter which codec i render in AE with.
    Any ideas?

    Currently quite new to using both pieces of software - I'm trying to grab a file, either a save or an export, from After effects into Premiere. I've googled around, but I can't find anyone with a similar problem with it being an AE file.
