After Effects – Premiere Pro workflow question…Hi,
Hi,
I have a basic question about workflow between AE and PP.
I’m editing an acting reel for a client which deals with a lot of different footage and bits and pieces here and there.
We already converted all the footage to DV-AVI – tweaking, color correction and effects are done in AE.
Here’s the question that I’m thinking about:
Should I work on all my footage in AE first and then import it into PP for editing OR should I edit everything the way I wanna have it and then import it into AE for the tweaking.
Advantages for both options that come to my (newbie) mind:
AE first then PP
1. Final editing is done in PP which gives me flexibility if I wanna change things later editing wise
2. PP exporting options are huge – don’t know if AE can compare to that
3. could import to PP via Dynamic link which saves me the hassle of exporting each little clip from AE to a lossless format – as mentioned we have lot’s of different footage and little bits and pieces here and therePP first the AE
1. if u apply a lot of effects, Dynamic link is a pain to scrub through the footage in PP because it takes so much time to render through the link – with exporting a final edited version from PP and then importing into AE would make things go a little bit smoother
2. I would have more flexiblity if I wanna change any effects in AE
What would u suggest ?
Thanx for your help in advance !!

I forgot to mention, the reason why I was thinking about doing AE first and then PP is, is that all of our footage needs to be tweaked in AE.
So if I edit everything in PP first, then export to a lossless format, then import and start tweaking the footage in AE – how can I tweak footage properly that fades-in ?
On some points we definitely gonna have longer transition, fade-ins etc..
If I have the (lossless) output movie from PP I can’t tweak the footage that is aleady ‘waiting’ behind the fade-in transition…
I see two options to this:
a. wait till the footage has faded in, which means having partially bad and un-retouched footage in my movie, or…
b. use Dynamic Link to bring in the PP project into AE – then I just need to hope that all transitions and effects I applied in PP are available in AE
That was one of my main reasons why I thought about doing AE first and then bring in all the tweaked footage into PP.
What would you suggest ?
Thanx again for your help.
Mike
