Avoiding Offline Comps in Premiere Pro Exports

Report · Oct 11, 2023

To successfully export After Effects compositions through Adobe Media Encoder (AME) while using Premiere Pro, always ensure the comp is saved.

Using the "Replace with AE comp" function in Premiere Pro also requires the composition to be saved for a proper export.
If not saved, an "offline asset" issue will appear in AME.
When you opt for "Replace Comp" in Premiere Pro, it creates a new AEP (After Effects Project) file and converts the clip into a comp.
This new AEP is initially in an unsaved state, causing an offline issue in AME.
To resolve this, simply save the AEP after adding the clip from Premiere Pro.
