Some clips not showing up from Premiere

Hi!

I am working on a music video which I have edited in premiere. All of it is footage shot on a green screen with a GH5 and a BMPCC in prores. I have also done proxies on all of the footage except two background shots.

My thought was to edit the video in premiere with all of the needed footage synced to the music in the sequence and the replace the whole sequence as an after effects composition. However when trying to do this it just creates 13-14 layers in the composition and I get an error in premiere saying "the importer reported a generic error".

I have tried importing the whole project with having deleted the two videos in the sequence that miss a proxy but the sequence in after effects still only show 13-14 layers with many of the clips missing.

Is there any way to fix this? I'm running the latest version of both premiere and after effects.

Thanks!

This is not a solution, but a workaround: just export your edit to a more universal format (QT ProRes for Mac, CineForm or DNxHR in Windows) then in AE import the Premiere sequence. Delete any clip that doesn't woerk and use that segment of the rendered file to replace it.

Hmm...this is odd. Are you highlighting everything in your Premiere project, Right+Clicking, and selecting "Replace with After Effects Composition?" Or are you dragging and dropping your Premiere squence into After Effects? Whichever method you did, maybe you can try the other. I know this isn't really a fix, more like a possible workaround. Also, does it make a difference if your proxies are toggled off or on (just wondering)?

I have tried highlighting everything and pressing "replace with after effects composition". Haven't tried dragging it into after effects or toggling off proxies. I have tried marking fewer clips and the it works so probably either a lot of the clips are corrupt or something, or is there maybe a limit to how many clips can be replaced to one after effects composition.

What happens when you drag and drop your Premiere sequence into After Effect's Project Panel? Sorry that I can't think of any fixes, just various workarounds to try.

I wonder if there is a limit to how many clips can be replaced at one shot. Maybe just try several at a time? How many are you trying to do at once? I suppose once all of clips make the journey, you can adjust the duration of the AE composition and then add the clips to that first compostion.
