Dynamic Link Greyed Out

Report · May 21, 2020

HELP! Recently, the "replace with After Effects composition" option in Premiere Pro is greyed out as well as the "Dynamic Link" option under "file." When I try to drag an aep file into Premiere, it says "Adobe After Effects 2020 must be installed to import this file" despite both programs being installed and up to date. I am using Premiere Pro CC 2020 version 14.2 and After Effects CC 2020 version 17.1. I recently moved computers using a time machine backup, but I uninstalled and reinstalled both Premiere and AE. I am on a Mac Pro (late 2013) running MacOS Catalina.

I signed out of my account and ran the CC cleaner tool to delete Creative Cloud and all adobe applications. Then I restarted the computer, downloaded Creative Cloud again, and reinstalled the programs.... unfortunately the problem still persists. Is there something I missed in your instructions? I didn't deactivate because they are all CC programs, not individual licenses.

What if I don't have a Mac? I have the same issue on a Windows, I want to import a Premiere Sequence into After Effects and Dynamic Link is greyed out. Both programmes are up to date.
