I found a fix! At least for getting drop shadows to go from AE to Premiere. I was exporting from AE to Media Encoder but it’s all about saving the AE composition and importing it into Premiere.

1. Right click on your AE composition and select “composition settings”
2. Select the “Advanced” tab
3. Make sure “Template” is checked and hit OK
4. FILE –> SAVE AS — > and save your AE project somewhere
5. Import the AE project into Premiere. When it prompts you to choose a composition, choose the one you want.

And that’s it! The drop shadow appears AND you can edit the text within Premiere. Pretty nifty! I got the trick from watchign a Lynda.com tutorial on AE.

Hope this helps someone!
