Unfortunately I have not found a good solution.
My current workaround is this:
In Premiere, after selecting “Replace with After Effects…” on a clip and it opens in after effects, I then in AE have to go to ‘File – Import – File..’, then drag that file into the current composition.
From there I can see the video file and can continue using AE.
When I select save in AE the linked comp appears back in Premiere.
While it works, it is extra steps that I should not have to do.
Please let me know if you have found a solution to this issue.
thanks!
