When packaging files from Premiere Pro, the After Effects files used are included, but the files linked to the After Effects file are not. This causes issues when making edits later, if I need to edit the After Effects file(s) for another version of the project - it will have missing assets (especially if another user is accessing the files).
My current workaround is to place the packaged AE files within my project folder and relink to that aep file, but everytime I open the Premiere Pro file, I have to relink to the aep file(s).
I understand that this is not a current functionality within Premiere Pro - I think I saw someone else call it 'chain consolidation' - but I'm wondering if there are any scripts or workarounds to make this happen, so that the files don't have to be relinked every time the file is open, and that the packaged AE file/folder is added to the project folder.
