Ultra Key effect is lost when Premiere project imported to After Effects

[Kaprice]

I've created sequences in Premiere where I used Ultra Key to create a perfect transparent background.

I need to use these clips in After Effects.

I wanted to avoid any quality loss, so I imported the project into After Effects but the Ultra Key mask is gone. It shows the green screen.

I know I could use Keylight in After Effects, but I haven't been able to get the same quality out of it (green background is 100% consistent).

I know I could render a clip out of Premiere and Import into AE, but was hoping to avoid that.

Any way to import Premiere files into AE without losing the Ultra Key effect?

Unfortunately Ultra Ket is only available in PrP. You listed options (keylight or render out from PrP w alpha) are your only two options.

Bummer. But thanks for setting it straight.
