Retain Markers from After Effects Comp in Premiere Pro CC

I'm trying to export a lossless Quicktime comp inside of After Effects CC (2018) and have all markers from the exported comp show up inside of Premiere Pro CC (2018).

So far, I've attempted to add every type of marker to a test comp (composition chapter marker, layer marker, flash marker, etc.).

But the result is always the same: None of the markers show up after importing the exported clip into a Premiere Pro CC project.

Other troubleshooting I've attempted includes:

- Exporting the AE comp using Media Encoder (2018) using "Apple Lossless - Quicktime Codec"

- Exporting directly inside of AE using "Apple Lossless - Quicktime Codec"

- Activating the "Write XMP Metadata" options located in "Media & Disk Cache Preferences" on AE and Media Encoder.

- Tried using "Dynamic Link" from AE to Premiere Pro (file menu & dragging and dropping into the Premiere Project)

I'm out of ideas.

Anyone have insights on how to retain AE markers on export to be visible inside of Premier Pro?

The type of marker does not matter. Just need them for timeline visual queues to work with in Premiere.

Export as Premiere Pro project: Go to "File" > "Export" > "Adobe Premiere Pro Project" in After Effects

Just in case if there are people who still trying to find solution to this in 2023...

You just need to tick "Include Source XMP Metadata" in the Output Module before rendering.
Ohh and..for reminder, it only worked with Layer Markers and not Composition Markers

Update : they're right, although Markers are retained inside After Effects, it didn't worked inside Premiere Pro

It was possible until the most recent incarnation of Premier and AE 2019.... Then it went away... Still haven't figured out how to make it work again

Hi Dan - thanks for confirming that you're experiencing the same - can you tell us how you've confirmed it's not possible? Thanks in advance! -Chris

I have a set of AE files that I use on a weekly basis to add certain effects to a weekly video I produce.

Up until CC 2019, I was importing those AE files into my premier projects and the markers showed up in Premier...

So I know up until then it was POSSIBLE...

I'm not suggesting that it's impossible, just that it's not working the same in 2019 that it was in 2018 and before.. I have reopened all of my AE files ( and even re-saved them just in case ), and the makers are still in the AE files, they just no longer come along for the ride to premier.

I have tried several different methods of importing those files into new premier projects having zero success in importing the files/compositions that include the original markers.
