Activity Forums Adobe After Effects AE PPro integration question

  • AE PPro integration question

    Posted by John Stanowski on March 10, 2009 at 2:05 am

    Hi,
    I had a project in After Effects that had an imported Premiere project in it. I had taken long bits of footage in Premiere and made sub-clips. When I imported this into After Effects, the sub-clips were there for me. I left the project for a while, and now that i’m back on it, I see that all of the sub-clips have returned to being the full length of the footage it came from. Do you know what I mean? Does anyone have a clue why this happened?
    Thanks

    Well, sub clipping really is just setting in an out points on the longer clips. When you double click on the “sub clip” footage asset in AE, are you looking at the fully zoomed out version of the time line in the preview window? Can you see any in and out points on the timeline at all?

    If I double click the subclip footage to view it in AE’s Footage Panel I see the whole timeline of the source clip and I don’t see in or out points. If I drag the clip directly into my comp, the entire clip gets placed instead of the duration in the subclip.

    Strange 🙁

    In premiere, you could try dragging all the subclips at once to a new sequence, then save the premiere file. The import just that sequence into AE. . .

    Worth a shot?

    Just tried it and got a million “Internal verification error” about “item H cannot be a null”. heh. It looked like it worked after I hit okay a million times, but when I drag to the comp the subclips are still waaay long. Even though, now, they have different starting points. I’ve just started to render out each subclip as an uncompressed new render from PPro just so I can move on. Thanks for your suggestions!
