replace with ae comp – wrong comp!
hi, not usre if this a PPro ro an AE problem…
In PPro i chose a clip and did Replace With AE Comp, and AE opens, i save the project, and go about doing my thing. Save it, close it. And back in PPro all is good.But now i open my AE project and do some more things – precomp, add some filters/effects to the new comp, etc. save it & close it.
But PPro is not getting my ‘final’ comp – its stuck with the first comp, even though i’ve renamed the comps in AE.
How to i make PPro take my final comp from the AE project.
Thanks.

But i had finished with PP. The only thing left was to ‘fix’ one clip – the one replaced with AE.
I tried to export the AE comp (lossless, avi) and then import it into the PP project. But this had too many problems, such as much lower quality, my fades (opacity 0%) were coming up as black, etc.
It would be nice to use PP and AE as advertised.I just need PP to accept the final comp from AE.

yeah. done.
The trick is…
when you’ve finished in AE, save and close your project.
go back over to PPro and File->Import->choose the AE project you’ve just done -> and PPro will show a list of compositions and let you choose one to import.
So as long as you used a sensible naming convention, you can import the ‘final’ composition.It does seem odd that DynamicLink doesnt have any options/settings about which comp to bring back over, especially as the link names a project file “bla.aep”. And as i’ve just shown, PP does understand importing an AEP and gives a “which comp” window.
Notes: what i actually see in PPro is the low quality proxy i made in AE. But after editing the AE comp again, PPro showed the realthing. However this may simply be because i was in AE so long PP had time to ‘conform’….
