I'm opening this issue again since I can't edit my last post for some reason (https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-bugs/quot-replace-with-after-effects-composition-quot-doesn-t-copy-hold-keyframes/idi-p/14764886)

I also can't add a reply, it removes the reply automatically.

 

Issue: "Replace with After Effects composition" doesn't work with hold keyframes

When using the "Replace with After Effects composition" feature in Premiere Pro, hold keyframes from Premiere Pro aren't imported to After Effects. They are ignored when importing to After Effects.

Adobe Premiere Pro version number: 24.3.0 (Build 59)
Operating system - Windows
CPU: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11700KF @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, GeForce Game Ready Driver: 560.70

RAM: Crucial 16GB

Hard Drive: Samsung 980 PRO 1TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD

Video format: Any
Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Premiere Pro

2. Import any footage layer into a new blank sequence

3. Right click and choose "Add Frame Hold"

4. Right click again and choose "Replace with After Effects Composition"

5. The After Effects composition is missing the frame hold

Try this on 3 clips with a frame hold in the middle. You'll see it imports without any frame hold in the middle.
Expected result: Frame hold is imported to AE
Actual result: Frame hold is not imported to AE

This is an issue because it causes the sequences to mismatch when hold keyframes are present.

 

This option is also destructive. It removes the Premiere Pro clips and replaces them with the AE comp, which means the hold keyframes cannot be recovered.
