When that fails, you have to manually mimic this with single TIFF file exports of layers from Photoshop and rebuild and layer in AE. This is probably not going to be a reasonable alternative for you guys, but ProEXR can save out a multi-layer file from Photoshop that can be read in AE. If you use the ProEXR Comp Creator functionality, it will do all the setup for you. Problem is that first you'll have to convert your Photoshop document to 32-bit mode which will make it take up a lot more memory and may take a long time for big files. Also, it doesn't transfer adjustment layers or anything like that, just regular layers. And because the files use floating point, they are probably bigger and slower than an 8-bit PSD.
