Automatic Duck vs (FCP > Premiere > AE)
Hey guys,
I’m working on a fairly lengthy documentary that is being edited on Final Cut. It contains a fair bit of graphic and effects work that I was hoping to complete in After Effects.
I’m trying to develop the best workflow for the project. Since Automatic Duck is out of budget, I found a make-shift alternative that may be as good:
FCP -> AE
– Final Cut ‘Export XML’
– Premiere ‘Import XML’
– Premiere ‘Save Project’
– After Effects ‘Import Adobe Premiere Pro Project’
– Animation / Compositing in After Effects
– Pre-Render effectsAE -> FCP
– After Effects ‘Save Project’
– Premiere ‘Import AEP’
– Premiere ‘Export Final Cut Pro XML’
– Final Cut ‘Import XML’Are there any known issues with this conversion method? I’m hoping it doesn’t scramble any basic effects or timing.
Cheers,
Adam -

It all depends on which version of Premiere, FCP and XML you use. The latest version is supposed to work.
