Without actually trying it I can see a way you could do this. Make some text boxes that are hidden, and in AE use the source text values to drive expressions on other properties. This might work, but it would have the problem that the values of text boxes don't interpolate between frames, so you couldn't use them very well for animating properties.

@stib that was the same workaround that I was talking about in the question ^^

Is possible to pass variables from premiere to after effect compositions?
