another instance of the document into AE, then mess around with replacing old layers with new ones, eventually adding the new layer to the AE comp. Good reply, but I think the question was slightly misunderstood. I created everything in After Effects, attempted to import it into Premiere, and only some of the Compositions were coming up, and not the one that I need right now. Not sure what you are saying. If there is no comp in the project window (or "bin area" in your words), it doesn't exist - short of perhaps having hidden in one of the folders there. Clarify what exactly you are doing. Also screenshots of your respecive windows and import dialogs might help (attach them using the camera icon).  And finally, do provide some system info, what footage types you use, comp settings, sequence settings in Premiere and so on. The weirdest things can influence this stuff from some bad comp naming to hard technical issues anything is possible.
