Video Filter missing: AE.Keylight 906

I've got video shot using a green screen.  I tried working with it in Premiere Pro, but the keylight didn't work so I did the work in After Effects.  I exported from After Effects to Premiere Pro but when I open the clip I get an error message about missing filter and then "Video Filter missing: AE.Keylight 906" and the clip opens without all the work I just did in After Effects.

I have a time sensitive project with a lot of video with green screen so I need to find a solution.  I've re-installed Premiere Pro in an effort to fix it but no joy.  It's as though the program expects the filter to be in one place but it is not.  

I don't care if I'm working in Premiere Pro or After Effects I just need this to work and then be able to edit.

just render out of aftereffects and replace or put the ae output above the ae comp in premiere...  It may not be ideal but it works...

Hey Adobe: Threat is one year old. Same Problem as sduncanute. Exported After Effect Scene to Premiere File and imported it to Premiere. After importing the file i get the error above.

2024 and am getting the same error regarding Keylight from AE in a dynamically linked project. Also upon render (ME) getting bad frames with keyed footage from AE linked in Premeire with a machine that is a monster and spec'd way higher than needed or that would be the source of any issues. Working from internal m.2 drives and have to clear the cache on both apps before rendering or get even more bad frames. This is happening in almost every new project and the assets and layers are fairly simple and not at all complex. It is usually when I am behind due to troubleshooting and at the 11th hour that new bad frames come up on render since they don't show up when previewing in the timeline. I am pulling my now grey hair out. I know I can convert all my h.264 footage using lossless codecs and relink but why on earth do I have to do all this "hoop jumping" to accommodate basic functionality and transcoding that should work out of the box in 2024. H.264 or H.265 is the most common thing to get from clients if doing social marketing or educational content. Why are these products not evolving properly and still charging non-commensurate premiums. The amazing part of all of this is that I am having issues with bad frames using Adobe stock assets in the areas where this is happening most frequently, which just adds to the frustration, since compared to other similar services like Envato Elements or Motion Array it is more expensive and has only 10 credits a month where video clips cost 8 of the 10 credits a piece. So 1 stock video and maybe 2 images per month?? For over 10 bucks a month more than other unlimited download services with more available assets!! Flabbergasted. Not trying to be negative just relaying true situations and reflecting on the seemingly misplaced priorities in how devs address and overcome (or not) these issues that have been affecting users now for years and years.
