Hi

When I try to import at simple transition from After Effects to Premiere Pro i got a error message "adobe after effects must be installed to import this file".

Both Premiere Pro and After Effects are updated. I use a windows computer. 

I hope that you can help me. 

Thanks!

Hi Maiken,

 

Thanks for reaching out.

How are you importing? Are you using Dynamic Link? What's the file type?

Let us know, we're here to help.

Thanks. 

I did try to import a aep file. But it is not working. 

 

I have also tried to import a mow file to Premiere pro. I exported it from After Effects after pressed the button 'Add to Render Queue'. Then Premiere Pro says Error Message: We were unable to open the file. 

 

I am not using dynamic link. I am still a beginner. 🙂

Hi there,

Premiere Pro should be able to import the .aep file. How do you import the file? Do you go to File > Import, drag and drop the file, or something else? Try importing using Media Browser.

Let us know the results.

 

Thanks,

Nishu
