There's a few "hidden" steps to take with Blender and After Effects.  And a couple of scripts you can use to make importing cameras much easier.  I ended up making a playlist of mini-tutorials to explain the steps:

Is your computer turned on?   🙂

Is your mouse connected? 🙂

 

Without you giving specific information about your process and where in it you are running into problems we can only guess of every tiny detailed step required to achieve an export.

 

In general what you do is export an image sequence for each pass you are rendering.  For examp:  A diffuse pass, a shadow pass, am alpha pass, etc., etc.  You then import the sequence or sequences into AE and composite if necessary. So that's it unless you're able to tell us exactly where in the process you;re runninginto problems.

And what exactly? Sorry, but that's useless. You need to be much more specific about render settings, file formats, footage interpretation and whatnot.
