Using After Effects and Premiere together
Hello hello there.
I love the way that AE and premiere pro work interact with each other using the Dynamic Link function, however the relationship seems a bit one sided. I like how you can make an AE composition and have it dynamically updated in premiere, but can you go the other way around? What I mean is that let’s say I have a movie edited in premiere. I now want to add some effects to it, so I load it up in after effects. Then let’s say I want to add some footage or do some more editing in premiere. Is there a way that I can open it up in premiere and that the changes I do in there are dynamically updated in AE? I would like to know the best way of using both of these programs “in sync”. I hope I made myself clear, and hopefully someone can shed some light on my question.

Have you upgraded to CS3? The relationship between the two apps is closer, apparently.
Try Googling “after effects” + premiere + “dynamic link”.
Here’s one of the links I found in that search:

Ok I finally found out that Dynamic Link only goes one way. So I came to the conclusion that I’m going to import Premiere footage into after effects, and then export as a project when im done. Sounded like a good plan until I imported my project into after effects, and all hell broke loose. All the footage in my sequence is all over the place, only 1 cross dissolve is still functioning, and everything is in dissaray. Am I doing something wrong or is there something I should know about? I’m simply importing my Premiere 2.0 project in AE…

here we go again again (a simple search and you will find this answer in like 10 posts, but okey)
heey,
i think this will help you :
-Edit your clip in Premiere. than save your project.
-open After Effects. file>import, then import your Premiere Pro project file.
-now you see your clips in the project panel and very important a sequence file (it’s called that way I thought).
-double click on that sequence file (important: do not move it into the timeline, just double click). and all your seperate scenes/shots/files (cut in Premiere pro) appear in the timeline in AE as seperated layers (also transitions and styles from Premiere PRo are imported).
-then use coole effects on them separedly. if you wanne render in AE, your done here.
render out in Premiere :
-then save your AE file. and if you wanna render it out in Premiere pro, just open the AE project file in Premiere.
-then only 1 clip will appear, but you’ve edit this the first time in PP and allready applied effects on it in AE, so no prob there 🙂
i tried dynamic link, but this is only a options for 1 scene/dvd menu or whatever per sequence. only usefull if you wanne see direct result between AE and PP. not with a movie with 200 shots or so:P
