After Effects...

Postby CCChang » Mon Feb 12, 2007 6:39 pm

I've read the tutorial and haven't really found the answer to my quesition.

Is there any way to use a Premiere project in After Effects?

By that, I mean like you edit a project in Premiere, then add the effects in After Effects using the same project instead of having to make the video and edit it that way, then exporting the new video (which would decrease it's quality).

Basically, is there any way I can work on the same project in After Effects?

AE6.5 and up can accept premiere pro project files
it splits up the scenes and keyframes your opacity

well if your using premiere 6.x, then after effects can open up. And minion, i believe that 6.0 can open it too, because didnt 6.0 come with premiere pro 1.0?

Looks like it can:

After Effects 6.0's help file wrote:Import nested sequences from Adobe Premiere Pro as nested compositions. Now when you import files with keyframed transparency, cross-dissolve, and motion values, After Effects converts them to transform keyframes; it also converts crop marks to masks. For information on After Effects integration with Adobe Premiere Pro, see Importing Adobe Premiere projects.

What version of PRemiere are you using?

I don't remember where the turn is, but up to a certain version Premiere saves .ppj files that AE can't open. From that version on, project files are .prproj and AE opens them just fine.

I *think* that version is Pro 1.0 (which I use and I have no problems using it's footage in AE 6.0)

If we are talking about AE 6.5, then Adobe Premiere 6.5 (.ppj) and Pro (.prproj) projects should import no problem since I've just done so. I haven't tried AE 7.0 but could it be that it's not as far backwards compatible with older Premiere versions?

I don't see why they would remove such a feature in a newer version. It takes up maybe 270Kb (that's a small b for bit, not byte) of the program?

Maybe to force people to upgrade? I know software companies love to do that.

Right, I hadn't thought of that. Sometimes capitalists suck.


Well, it should work though. CChang is yet to tell us his/her software versions, however, so this is the only solution we have so far, other than exporting the entire project in lossless clips and importing all of them in AE.
