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.

    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.

  • 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,

  • 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 a sync one song will not transfer to phone

    After a sync one song will not transfer to phone in any playlists, what is wrong?

    I don't know what happened. I plugged in the phone today (like I have done just about every day) to sync and charge and the movie transferred this time. I have no idea what changed between now and last night. I haven't even rebooted either the phone or computer. Go figure. As Gilda Radner once famously said on SNL as Rosanne Rosanadana, "Nevermind".

  • After Effects Compositions Duplicating over other comps in Adobe Premiere.

    Hi all,
    My issue revolves around Adobe Premiere and After Effects, in particular the feature in Premiere which gives you the option to 'Replace with After Effects Composition'.
    I had severail clips I wanted to do some frame painting on in my timeline, so I started with the first, used after effects, all was fine. Did the same on the second one, again, all fine, then on the third one it all went a bit wrong. After completing my frame painting on after effects, I clicked save and then closed the composition. Upon returning to Adobe Premiere and viewing my timeline the clip I had just edited was as expected, but the previous one was now a dublicate of the one I had just edited. From this point forward no matter what I did every time I tried to alter a clip in after effects it just duplicated over the other clips.
    Painting frames at the best of times makes me lose the will to live, but this glitch has made it almost impossible for me to work.
    Other details, I save each After Effects composition with a different file name in a different folder. I tried all sorts of different ways around it but nothing.
    Does anyone know how to solve this issue, or know where I could find out. It's incredibly frustrating when you spend 10 minutes painting out dust off a video to then realise the one you did before is now overwritten on the premiere timeline.
    I need help!

    Before you go back and re-do your tedious retouch...
    you can try opening Pr, making your Ae comps offline, exit Pr.
    Go to your 'Adobe Premiere Pro Preview Files' folder, delete all.
    Open Pr, relink your comps.
    I've never really tried to send a series of clips to AE and edit them all as one composition, I'll give that a try.
    note:
    Along with sending multiple clips via DL to Ae for touchup in one comp,
    When I use 'Replace with Ae Comp' in the Timeline, I will save
    the newly created Ae comp, exit Ae, return to Premiere and hit 'Undo'.
    This will restore the original clips to the Timeline for future reference.
    Then I will use File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Import Ae Composition to
    bring the new comp into Premiere, add a new layer to the Timeline
    and drop in the comp (or replace the clips in a duplicate Sequence).

  • 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.

  • Import After Effects composition is stuck or broken? How do I purge?

    Hi,
    I have a Premiere file started, and am importing a series of After Effects files. I have found that when I try to import a Composition, it's listing elements from a different file. Notice in this screenshot attached that it's asking me to select the comp from 0105, but I've selected 0101. I'm certain that these are all named correctly in After Effects too. So, how do I purge whatever is stuck? I've tried deleting auto save files but that doesn't work. I've also deleted all my after effects logs.
    Thanks,
    Dave
    different file.

    I think I've come across something that should be passed on to the engineers. It appears possibly that Premiere does not like sequential numbering of After Efffects files. I renamed the After Effects files with additional text at the end and now it's working.

  • Importing After Effects Compositions

    When I bring an AE comp into Premiere, it's slightly transparent. Any ideas on what's happening here?

    What's in the comps?  You understand that the black you see as a background isn't really black, right?  Any part of the comp frame not specifically filled with something will be transparent.

  • After Effects CS6 11.0 will not open on an iMac running Mavericks OS 10.9.3. Why?

    I recently purchased the CS6 production premium bundle through my university specifically because it contained After Affects. Now I discover that AE is DOA. Is there an update on the Adobe or Mac side that I need? Thanks.

  • After Effects Composition Not Refreshing in Premiere Pro

    I'm using a late 2013 Macbook pro 15 inch 2.3ghz with Creative Cloud CC, updated as of 27/5/14.
    I am linking after effects compositions in my premiere pro sequence. After pressing enter to render my effects and watch my project so far, i'll go to change some text in my linked after effects composition, save it, and go back into premiere. The project is not updated in premiere, even when scrubbing through, restarting both apps, even restarting the computer. The only fix i have found is to click on 'Delete Render Files in to out" and then re-render the effects in my entire sequence, which is very inconvenient when all I want is to see a single small change.
    How do I get my sequence to automatically update when I make a change in a linked composition?

    Ann,
    I understand what you are saying. I'm not really even concerned or talking about Dynamic Linking per se. No matter what way you bring in an AE comp it's always gonna be dynamic linked. Even if you import it like it was a regular piece of media it's always gonna be DL'd in the Premiere comp.
    Jim,
    I agree and understand why  the 2nd diesn't work. I wouldn't expect the 'replace with AE' in premiere to work mainly because whatever media you used in the AE comp is not brought over. Wish it would treat the AE comp like it was a piece of media and just carry it over.
    About the other...,.
    Also are you sure were talking about the same thing? I'm talking about opening only After Effects then File - Import - Premiere Pro project.  When I do this everywhere there was an AE comp in my PR timeline. It is now missing. Even if manually replace it with AE comp in AE, it has no idea where the media is. I have to manually re-import every AE project and stick it back in the timeline.
    Have you tried it with CS4? I don't have CS3 anymore but I seem to remember it wasn't a problem back then.
    Also Jim if you still say this works for you, would you mind if I uploaded a .prproj with say one piece of media, then a simple AE (only titles or solids) would you mind checking it on your version of AE?

  • Dynamic Linking between Premiere pro cs6 CC and After Effects is shaded grey and not working.

    Hi, I currently have a CC membership with everything included in the package. I have already downloaded Premiere Pro CS6 and After Effects. However, I cannot figure out why , when I right click a video clip in Premiere, the dropdown menu has the 'replace with after effects' option within the list greyed out, apparently not an option for me. I've browsed several tutorials and all of them illustrate using dynamic linking with ease as a readily available option. Can anyone help with this please?

    Thank You, Jim -
    Unfortunately that specifically did not work.
    Based on another comment sent to me, here is what did.
    In PProCC
    File > Adobe Dynamic Link > New After Effects Composition
    In AECC
    From that composition created from PPro, I imported the project (aep) initially created in AECC from another team member. Saved the file.
    Back in PProCC
    File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Import After Effects Composition
    Magic.

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • Premiere to After Effects Composition workflow with Subclips?

    I have a bunch of  footage, each about 1 minute-long, that I'm cutting in Premier into a collection of 3-second highlight shots. What I want to do is take some of those 3 second clips and add a couple of effects in AE.
    Problem #1:
    When I select the trimmed shot in Premiere and select "Replace with After Effects Composition", all I get is a blank composition that is 1 minute long (not 3 seconds like how I trimmed it in the Premiere sequence editor).
    Problem #2:
    What I did to resolve the issue above is select the trimmed clip, then created a Subclip of it. Then when I selected "Replace with After Effects Composition" it then created a blank composition in AE that was 3 seconds long.
    Ok fine, but that still doesn't resolve the blank AE composition. It will be super tedious to import each of the 1-minute footage files into AE and then re-find the 3 second section I already set in Premiere. Am I missing a step somewhere? How do I get After Effects to import that subclip automatically into the library? I tried to export the subclip from Premiere but couldn't find that option.
    Is there a better workflow for what I'm trying to do?
    Thanks!

    I'm using DSLR footage and am not running into this issue.  However, another workaround you could do is, copy the trimmed/subcliped clip and paste it into AE.  To get a sequence in AE to conform to the durration of the copied clip, use otp+command+v.  I use this in replace of dynamic link, and works quite well.  Hope that helps.
