Subject: Importing AEPs into other projects

Hey all,

I've been having this issue for a long while, and figured it was just something wrong with my system, but I'm not positive, and I wanted to see what others deal with.

I've already submitted it as a bug report to Adobe, but I'm beginning to think it's an issue with my system only.

Basically here's the issue..

New project, nothing in it..

File/Import File...

Choose an AEP and hit open..

I get the error "After Effects error: Failed to connect to Adobe Premiere Pro Dynamic Link. ( 86 :: 1 )"


Seems when I choose an AEP in the file browser, it doesn't set the file type properly or something.

What I end up having to do to even get an AEP to import, is:

1) change the "Files of type" to "All Files (*.*)"
2) Choose the AEP
3) Change the Format:  drop down box from "Adobe Dynamic Link" to "After Effects Project"

Then I can click open and it'll import happily.


Oddly enough, if I click "Files of type" and change it to "After Effects Project (*.aep, *.aepx)" and try to select and open an AEP it throws the same error and won't work..

I figure no one else has this issue, because people would complain or have questions about it all the time.

Anyone know what's going on here and what I can try to do to fix it?  I've already uninstalled and re-installed AE, but nothing changed.. I also tried to check my Windows 7 file type associations, but AEP is definitely associated as an After Effects CS6 Project file.

Thanks in advance, hopefully I can get this resolved.. it's just so unintuitive, I figure I'm the only person with this issue.
