AE6.5 levels adjustments don’t copy/paste into PP1.5
I’m copying an AVI clip from PP1.5 into AE6.5, adjusting levels there, then copying/pasting back into PP1.5. But the level adjustments don’t appear in the resulting PP1.5 clip (or in the file exported out of PP1.5). What am I doing wrong? I prefer to do color corrections in AE but want to avoid the intermediate step of exporting first out of PP.
(Yes, I know that the new versions of AE/PP handle this more easily… my academic versions of the new programs won’t be here for awhile so I’m stuck with the old software for now.)

It doesn’t sound like you’re rendering out the clip from AE. Nothing is done to the clip (hence AAE is non-destructive) until you render it out. Ctrl + M gets you to the render que.

Then I clearly don’t understand the point of copying/pasting between PP and AE. I could always render out from PP, import into AE for editing, render out from AE, import into PP, etc.. But I want to avoid all these renders because the quality decreases each time, right?
I thought that a copy/paste from PP into AE and then a copy/paste back into AE would allow a single render at the end, inside PP, for example, but using the AE effects from within PP as I rendered (since I have both AE and PP installed on the same machine). Is this not right?

The relationship goes one way, from PP to AE.
Since AE is much more complex than PP, it works differently and has more features that PP can’t support, and so you have to render a movie when going from AE to PP. Render to the Animation codec to minimize any quality loss.
It’s the same with Apple’s Motion and AE. Motion is less complex than AE, so it can’t import or paste AE files.

Thanks for the information about this. It’s definitely confusing however because there are tutorials on the web that say you can definitely paste from AE 6.5 to PP 1.5…. you even see Jacob Rosenberg doing it (on film!) in the Total Training “What’s New in Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5”. I guess what you’re saying is that, even though this may work with some of the effects in AE, you can’t expect it to work with all of the effects?
My understanding though is that all this has changed with the new PP2.0 and AE7.0? You can go back and forth with no problems using these packages?
