Got it. Lets make this easy. How about rendering out of AE your project as a file (Animation or Prores or whatever codec you prefer). Then just import that file into Premiere Pro. Are you on PrP 5.5? Then as you did before, drag that imported AE file to the Make New Sequence icon.
AE renders in a manner that is much faster then PrP so this may help you out. Good luck! 😀
