Adobe Premiere 25.5.0 Crashes When Using "Replace with After Effects Composition" - With Solution

 Premiere 25.5.0, After Effects 25.5.0, Mac M1 Sequoia 15.6.1

SYMPTOM:

Each time I call "Replace with After Effects Composition", AE loads, the Save as window comes up, and I immediately get the beach ball of death, impossible to save the AE project.

SOLUTION:

Force quit AE, Premiere is frozen. Force quit Premiere.

IN PREMIERE:

Preferences, Media Cache, Remove all media caches (Delete.) Select Delete all media cache files (require restart.)

Delete all media cache files (require restart.)

Hold Option while restarting Premiere. Reset options: check all but "Disable third party plugins (one time only.) Continue.

Reset all these but last

IN AFTER EFFECTS:

Settings, Startup & Repair, "Empty All Caches..."

Settings, Media & Disk Cache, "Empty Disk Cache", and "Clean Database & Cache".

Restart AE.

And now "Replace with After Effects Composition" is working as expected.

Adobe Premiere Pro "Frame Substitution Recursion Attempt Aborting After Multiple Attempts On File ... Inserting Black For Frame Number ..." Bug

 Premiere hates you just as much as Avid. In a different way, but just as much.

 Here is the new fuckup:

 "Frame substitution recursion attempt aborting after multiple attempts on file... inserting black for frame number..."

Uh? What?

Of course looking up the problem online is a deluge of "your files are corrupted", or "the media is bad", or "what are you editing on?" or whatever fucking reason, but never Premiere is fucking up, which it is obviously what's happening.

HELLO Adobe!??? Didn't you just came up with Premiere for iOS? Better make Premiere for Mac actually work before adding yet another dysfunctional app to your arsenal.

 Cringe. What is going on Adobe?
