Did some digging on this one and haven't been able to locate an answer.
I've got several fairly long green screen projects on the table. My AE render times have improved since using 720p TGA image sequences, but they are still very long - about one hour per 1 minute of footage.
My question is if I can export the alpha channel/mask and the keyed image (with all Keylight effects applied - spill correction, etc) as separate sequences from After Effects, then import those into Premiere.
If I can get those into Premiere, I can work on the project much faster - with realtime previewing and not having to re-run the long AE render each time I make changes.
Bascially I only need After Effects for the keying phase of the work. Premiere is sufficient for most everything else I need to do to the projects (adding text, transitions, audio syncing, etc).
The problem is that now, if I want to change or adjust the background (or anything else), it means re-rendering the clip in AE each time. If I could do that in Premiere, my life would get much easier :)
