  I actually was able to find the answer to my question in point **2.** [here](https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/kb/after-effects-composition-export-error.html)
  
  Simple add the sequence to the After Effects Render Queue:
  
  [![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/oWnOB.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/oWnOB.png)
  
  And from there open it in AME, where the preview will work perfectly fine.
