The solution to saving as you go along is not to “Save As” because that causes you to work in a new file name. The solution is to use “Save a Copy” instead. That gives you a backup, but keeps the current project’s name the same for use with Dynamic Link.
However, to answer the original question, it is simple. Just select the new dynamic link comp in the project bin, the select the dynamic link in the sequence. Right click on the comp in the sequence and choose “Replace with Clip” and “From Bin”.
Simple.

Yes, you seem to understand it. It uses a lot of new space making copies of the footage you used, but you get it back (and more) when you delete the original folder.

Import the green screen footage into After Effects and key it out using Keylight.
Then, you have two choices. You can use Dynamic Link to link the comp back into Premiere Pro. That is great when you are in a hurry and are still making changes, but it can be tough on the PC.
Once I have it where I am really sure I want it, I often export from AE into Quicktime using the Animation codec with Alpha channel. Then I replace the Dynamic Link with the exported footage.
I have also been known to do the keying and then superimpose it over the footage I plan to use. Then I can export from AE using Cineform HD AVI and when I bring it back to Premiere Pro there is no rendering required.
I avoid exporting until the system bogs down. If it never bogs down then keep using the Dynamic Link.

Try deleting all of your cache files, previews, etc. Render your timeline again. Now try to export.

The simple answer is that Dynamic Link was created to allow After Effects comps to be brought over to Premiere Pro without exporting it first. But, as you know, Dynamic Link is only available if you have the Production Studio or Master Collection.
So, no, without the entire package, you must export from AE.
However, if you are working with DV AVI files in Premiere Pro, and you export from After Effects to DV AVI, and you are then exporting from Premiere Pro to DV AVI, you will not have to rerender, and you will not lose any generational quality.

Be aware that pre-rendering only helps speed up an export when exporting DV AVI timelines to DV AVI exports. When exporting to MPEG, or anything else for that matter, a new render is required during export anyway.

You should be able to render those spots and have them look OK. I suggest that you export a small section of the sequence to MPEG2 and see for yourself.

The problem is deeper than the one transition. It should be possible to save modified transitions as favorites. And, it should be possible to copy and paste transitions. Neither of these are possible, and both would solve at least part of the problem being discussed here.

Export for what purpose? Uncompressed is seldom necessary since the original DV AVI is compressed. As is HDV. You can’t make it look better by uncompressing video. But if you are re-editing after the export, that’s different.
The word resolution is usually applied to the number of pixels, like 720X480. The higher the data rate the less likely you will have quality loss. Up to a point. Going to a higher data rate thatn the original footage seldom solves anything.
Going from 8 bit to 10 bit is useful when applying effects, especially color correction.
So, perhaps if you explained what you were attempting to do, we could be useful.
