I have an animation which has emission, when it renders using EEVEE, it seems fine, but when I import the animation sequence(PNG) into after effects, there is no glow.

This is my node setup :

This is how it looks in Blender and After Effects :

As you can see, there is a glow in Blender but not in AE.

What do I need to do?

Here is the Blend File

Try to change the blend mode. Or export your png over black background (no transparency) and set it to screen in AE – mqbaka mqbaka Feb 24 '22 at 06:02
This is my node set up simple emission: https://ibb.co/MPgkG8x
I didn't understand the black background with no transparency, can you do a screen shot please.

Actually that wouldn't work with the black background because the emission shader is also affecting other objects in the scene giving them some tint highlights. – blender breath Feb 24 '22 at 06:37
Ok, may be I misunderstood you. Can you post screenshots of your scene and your AE composition so I can understand your problem better? A pic of your render and a pic of how it looks like in AE – mqbaka mqbaka Feb 24 '22 at 06:54
Here's the screen shot, and I also provide the blender file too.

I see, it's because Blender doesn't render the bloom's alpha. There is a workaround here https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/200068/blender-eevee-how-to-render-bloom-effect-when-using-transparent-background – mqbaka mqbaka Feb 24 '22 at 07:53
I have followed the tutorial connected the nodes (Checked on BLOOM) , but when I import in AE its still with no glow: https://ibb.co/0XGnwZV – blender breath Feb 24 '22 at 09:30
Can you upload the modified file? It should have worked – mqbaka mqbaka Feb 24 '22 at 13:49
an easy way, render a video with only the bloom pass, then in after effects mix it with screen or add mode – alambre Feb 24 '22 at 13:51

make your 'color ramp' wider, set the 'set alpha' node to 'replace alpha', in after effects interpret as premultiplied with black... try those things, or just export the bloom as a video and composite as add or screen in after effect, you get more control and is easy, I've done it before – alambre Feb 25 '22 at 03:10
That did the trick, replaced Alpha which I had missed and widen the color ramp. Thank you. – blender breath Feb 25 '22 at 03:46
