Problem with Replace with AE Composition

[merry_experts0816]

New to Premiere, so please don’t come for me xD
I added the Transform effect to an image in Premiere and adjusted the scale and position. However, after using Dynamic Link to add an effect in After Effects, the image’s position and scale changed. Is my workflow wrong, or is there a simple way to fix this? I know I could manually change the values back to what they were originally, but it seems very illogical to have to do this for every image.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I read your case notes. I think I understand your issue: The Transform effect doesn't translate perfectly between Premiere and After Effects when using Dynamic Link, leading to shifts in scale and position. This is a widely-reported limitation, and unfortunately, values often change unexpectedly.

    Remove Premiere’s Transform effect before sending to After Effects, and reapply/animate position and scale directly in After Effects. Effects in AE work natively and won’t shift unexpectedly.

    If you have many images, copy Premiere’s scale/position values and paste them manually into AE’s Transform effect, but this is tedious for many assets.

    For consistent results across both apps, stick to motion properties (Position/Scale) at the clip level, not via Premiere's Transform effect.

Many users encounter this problem and manually adjust values or standardize scale/position only in AE to avoid future mismatches. Hope this helps make things smoother for you!

Thanks,

Kevin
