Please give the exact steps that you're using. From your description, I think that you might be trying to take some unnecessary steps.

2. Re: Premiere Wont Add AE Comp to Timeline
inertiahz Mar 18, 2011 12:08 PM (in response to Todd_Kopriva)Ok so I have some footage at 1920 x 1080p AVCHD; this is imported into Premiere Pro. I have then edited the footage, simple cuts, no effects.
I have then gone into After Effects and used Dynamic Link to import the Premiere Sequence, in After Effects I have created a composition from the sequence.
I have then turned the sequence into a 3D layer and used a camera to give a camera shake feel; then I put that composition into a new composition which is resized and has some colour correction applied.
I am now trying to import that second composition back into Premiere, which as I say imports fine and plays fine in the source window but wont appear on the timeline, if I drag the imported composition to the new sequence button, it creates the sequence with all the correct settings but wont let me drag the composition onto it.
The reason why I want to bring the video back into Premiere is because I then want to add some screen recording in various places. I suppose I could go at this a couple of different ways i.e. render the footage from After Effects, or edit video and screen recording in Premiere and then use keyframes to control what the colour correction and camera shake applies to.
To me my method seems logical, its just weird why Premiere wont let me add the composition to the timeline but plays it fine in the source window.

Better to right click on the clips you want to add effects to and choose Replace with After Effects Composition. When you switch back to PP, the clips will be replaced with an AE comp and any work you've done in AE will just show up.

Jim_Simon Mar 21, 2011 12:27 PM (in response to inertiahz)I'm not sure it would be possible. It'd be like holding a mirror up to another mirror. You end up with infinite mirrors.
The PP sequence reads the AE comp, which is reading the PP sequence, which is reading the AE comp, which is...
You get the idea.
Anyway, the method to do what you want already exists with the Replace command.

inertiahz Mar 21, 2011 2:14 PM (in response to Jim_Simon)I see what you mean; I guess it just bugs me that it works fine in the source window but wont extend that to making another sequence
Anyways as you say about the replace command; I used that earlier to complete my project so instead of complaining about my flawed logic, I shall adjust my workflow
Thanks again!

SF Bay Film Editor Aug 26, 2016 12:11 AM (in response to Jim_Simon)This is still the case way out in the future in Aug 2016, where I'm running 2015.2 because I'm not ready to deal with the bugs that have shown up in 2015.3. Just another Adobe bug ..."If I were a rich man, " I'd be right back on AVID!!
