"Replace With After Effects Composition" leads to "The importer reported a generic error."

[Nickel_Finn]

Hello everybody,

I have this issue with Premiere Pro / After Effects:

Sometimes when I try to replace some clips with an After Effects composition I get an error message from Premiere Pro saying: "The importer reported a generic error.". I have no idea why it happens. I tried it with multiple different clips and different amounts of clips and with some it works, with some it doesn't.

Hope someone can help me.

Sincerely,

Nicolas !

Try resetting the preferences:

Unfortunately, didn't work.

Is there a limited amount of clips you can create an after effects composition with?

Hey Nicolas,

Which versions of Premiere Pro & After Effects are you using? [FAQ: How to find the exact version of Premiere Pro you're using?]

Which OS are you on?

Dynamic link works between similar versions of the products.

Thanks,

Hey Rameez,

Premiere Pro 12.0.0

After Effects 15.0.0

Both are on the latest version.

I'm on a Mac, macOS High Sierra 10.13.1
