Dynamic Link issue in Premiere Pro Beta ↔ After Effects Beta (black screen / empty comp)

I need help asap

 
I’m currently working in Premiere Pro Beta together with After Effects Beta on Windows, the most recent version 25.6. Whenever I use Dynamic Link ( Replace with After Effects Composition). the linked clip only shows a black screen in After Fffects, its just a empty comp and i spent over more then a week trying to fix it.
 
What I’ve tried already:
 
Both apps updated to the same Beta build via Creative Cloud.
 
Restarted the dynamiclinkmanager and dynamiclinkmediaserver processes.
 
Cleared Media Cache in both Premiere and After Effects.
 
Switched Renderer in Premiere to “Software Only”.
 
Disabled hardware accelerated panels in AE Beta.
 
None of these steps solved the problem. In the release versions of Premiere and After Effects, Dynamic Link works as expected with the same project files.
 
This makes me think it’s a Beta regression/bug. Is there a workaround or a confirmed fix for this issue in the current Beta builds?
 
Please help me asap because i cant work like this for more then a week.

I was having the same problem.  The fi for me is in Ae when it imports the opasity is set to 0%.  Turn it to 100%

Same issue still here in the latest version of After Effects Beta.

The workaround is to drag the file from the project panel again to the comp
