A way to use AE templates in Premiere?
Hi!
First of all let me introduce myself. I’ve been working with Vegas + Combustion for the last seven years. Although this “marriage” gave me excellent results it came time for a switch as Combustion didn’t evolve (in fact is dead) and Vegas didn’t give me the features i envy from other NLE.
The switch is being kind of dramatic. I never liked Adobe interface and now i’m dealing with AE and Premiere at a time. I know what i want to do, how to do it but i fail finding the resources in the software to do it in an acceptable time. I hope is a matter of practice but is hard.
Well… my question. I’m doing small videos of spanish cooking recipes for my blog. In this videos i use small animations to separate different segments of the video. For example when the cooker says “we have to wait 30 minutes until the oven makes its work” i fade in to the animation that says “twenty minutes in the oven” and then fade out the animation to the next step in video.
The thing is that once the animation is made in AE I import it in Premiere as a dynamic link file and put it in the timeline. But i have to use it several times in the same video with different texts. When I change the text in the original AE project, of course not only changes the instance i want but all the instances of the animation that i put along my sequence.
What i wonder is if there is a way that i can use a single AE project as a template for Premiere so I can put it several times in the same sequence but with different texts independently.
I think the combo FCP + Motion has something similar. Is it possible with AE and Premiere?
Thanks!

Why not have the text portion of the animation removed? You can then use different title slates in Premiere in a second video layer. This, of course, is assuming the text itself isn’t animated.
The only other way is to copy/paste make copies of your template project in AE, adjust the text and dynamic link in the 5-6 different instances.
Cheers,
Angelo

Thanks Angelo!
Your first answer is so simple that i didn’t realize of it! I guess i’m not used to combine NLE and AE yet.
Although i get limited in terms of text animation and layer order i think it will be the best way.
Cheers!
