You can copy color mattes, stills, nested sequences, and offline files as well. After
Effects converts color mattes into
solid layers and converts nested sequences into nested compositions. When you copy a Photoshop still image into
After
Effects, After
Effects retains the Photoshop layer information. You cannot paste Adobe Premiere Pro titles or
effects into After
Effects, but you can paste text with attributes from the Adobe Premiere Titer into After Effects.

(Windows) or Command+Option+V (Mac OS).
