After Effects: Convert to Team Project greyed out. Cant add comps to Premiere TP either

[defaultlwsl8tgmgchm]

Edit > Team Projects > Entire section is grey

I am not the creator of this file, It was emailed to me. Does this make a difference? The file also will not let me add any of the comps to a Premiere team project. It says "failed to connect to After Effects dynamic link"

Hi,
What type of file are you referring to (.aep, .prproj)? 
Do you have the latest versions of Premiere and AfterEffects installed or at least matching previous versions?

If you are in a local After Effects project (.aep) it is correct that the Team Project section is grayed out. You cannot convert a local AE project to Team Project, only the conversion from a Team Project to a .aep is supported.

Best, 
Udo

Good to know you cant convert .aep to teams yet. 

I have an .aep project and I need to figure out how to get comps from that project into Premiere team projects. I'm trying to avoid rendering and placing the rendered file in Premiere. 

I'm using Premiere 15.4.1 and I have tried a few versions of After Effects (18.4.1 and 22..0.1) and both say that it is "Unable to establish dynamic link"

Bumping this thread to try and get a response. 

Is there a way to get an AE comp in a Premiere Teams timeline so I can render the full project without having to render to Pro Res in AE and put it manually in the Premiere timeline?

First off we are aware of some shortcomings when working with AE and PPRO in the context of the same Team Project and actively working on improving this workflow.

For now you can open the Team Project in After Effects and then import the .aep containing the comp.

Once imported you should be able to open the Team Project in Premiere Pro and add the comp to a sequence. 

Best, 
Udo

I am trying to make an .aep into a team project so good to know that is not supported.

How can I get a comp from an .aep file into a premiere team project. Dragging it in the browser says that it can not establish a dynamic link. I’m using 18.4 on both versions.

First you need to import the entire .aep file into the Team Project using After Effects (File > Import > File...).
Then you can switch to Premiere Pro and add the comp into a Sequence.
