    I’m using the production studio with premeire pro cs2 and after effects 7. I captured 60 minutes worth of 1080i hdv footage as one 12 gig file. The problem I’m having is that when I insert a clip into the premeire timeline, then copy it into ae, it’s bringing the entire 12 gig file over for each clip i bring in and is causing after effects to run and render EXTREMELY slowly. My question is, is there any way to separate the small clip from the entire file without manually recapturing each clip separately? thanks for the help

    hi there

    so you wanna put small clips from that “big” one from PP to AE. you can cut them in PP and then import them seperatly in AE. in case you didn’t search for dynamic link here is my “guide” for AE-PP

    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

    let me know if this helps understanding and solves your problem,

    Greetzz

    thanks, that should do it. i’ll try it out today but i’m pretty sure that will take care of the issue. you’re a lifesaver! (or at least an entire day + of rendering saver!)
