Thanks for your response. I did not change or move any file names, and working on internal drive. I did open the project back up to re-establish a connection b/t PP and AE but the AE project now has the colored bars and the PP project has the original AE footage but I still can’t move it around without getting bars.
If I open AE in PP and add an effect on a clip, is there anything else I need to do besides save the AE project before closing AE and PP?
