Hey! So basically I had an After Effects comp linked to my Premiere as you do and half way through working on the comp it somehow decided to create a new comp by it self and added a "2" at the end of the file name. So I thught it was weird, but no problem I just clicked on "Replace with After Effects composition" in Premiere once again and selected the newly created comp 2 because half the progress was made in that new one and I hadn't realised. And when I did that it opened up the comp and everytrhing was completely gone. Just a blank project. Is there any way I can get this back? Literally just lost hours of work. I have auto saves set up, but there's nothing there related to the specific comp. Most likely because of the weird way it was automatically just created in the middle of me working on the original.

Verify that the first Composition is still in the After Effects project (you may have to open an Auto-Save project or import an Auto-Save project into the current After Effects project).
Then import that Composition into Premiere Pro and insert or overwrite it to your Sequence.
Another option is to render the first Composition using the "High Quality" or "High Quality with Alpha" Output Module on the After Effects side and then import the resulting movie file into Premiere Pro.
