Hi if anyone could help out very quickly that would be amazing. Earlier today I had a sequence that I converted to an AE project, i was using the paint tool to add effects to the sequence in AE, i had to close AE for a little and when I opened it up, everything was fine in AE but it was unlinked from the sequnce in premiere pro, and any attempt to link it says some thing about an "generic import error" and if i try to do a dynamic link from AE back to PP, it gives me a blank sequence so I'm lost, any advice?

I have the lastest versions of both

     the generic error are format of footage already supported by premiere but not able in AE .first is adobe similar version among AE and Premiere
    Open both software and import video in premiere then drop on frame range or open in sequence and save project to desktop.

    Open after effect drap your premiere project and drop in AE then it take at least 30 sec for Dynamics link connect and click ok to allow your project after I think it work then try again to replace fooatge composition in after effect no generic error will coming back

    Screw Dynamic Link. Do an export from Premiere Pro.  Use a good codec.  Import into AE.  Use the Replace footage command..

    I set up scenes in premier pro and do the movement in after effects, would take much longer if I did the whole thing on After effects. not a helpful comment
