Question

"Could not connect to project" Dynamic Link between AE

My issue revolves around the dynamic link. I edit videos as my career, and my workflow is as follows: Premiere Pro, After Effects, Media Encoder. Just yesterday I experienced an issue when importing my After Effects composition into Adobe Media Encoder:

I had to work around this error by exporting inside of AE. I have tried adding to AME queue via the render tab, along with using the File/Export/Add to AME queue menu. When attempting those methods the project will either not show up in the queue or read "Could not read from source" when attempting to render or change settings:

 Dynamic-link works fine when moving my premiere project into after effects, but my workflow after that is completely soiled. I need help ASAP!
