Importing into After Effects at DVinfo.net

Enginn Heima · May 18th, 2006, 07:17 AM

I'm going to import my editing into after effects, for color grading and finalisation. Do I really have to export as movie (with CineForm codec) from Premiere and then import it as such into After Effects, or is there another way to do this?

Note, it doesn't work for me this dynamic link between Premiere and After Effects, even if I have Premiere 2 and After Effects 7. Receive an error stating that I need the Production Suite...

Several ways:

- Import you PPro project into AE (File>import>PPro project)
- Export your timeline to one Cineform-clip
- For small projects: Mark all the clips in PPro and copy them. Start AE and a new project and paste the clips into AE.

Dynamic Link requires Production Studio, won't work with just PPro and AE as separate licences.

Hello Max and thanks for your reply.

But I'm thinking how is After Effects dealing with my rushes? In After Effects, when I go in New composition, I see no presets whatsoever for Cineform?
All my rushes where shot in the 25F mode on the Canon XL H1 and captured with Cineform 1080/25fps progressive.

Regards.

When you import your Premiere project into After Effects, it will create a composition based on your Premiere Project settings. Once you import, just look for a composition with the same name as your Premiere sequence.
