    I used the ProAnimator external program to make a 3d logo. I want to import that into AE. I also have the ProAnimator plugin set up. What do I need to do to import my file into AE 7? pLease help…

    Hi John.

    You can load your saved ProAnimator scene inside of the After Effects PA Plug-in. Here’s how.
    1. Load After Effects and apply the ProAnimator effect to a 2D layer. Create a new scene.
    2. Find the Effect Controls and click on the “Click to Edit ProAnimator” button to open the PA Set-up window.
    3. Using the File menu, select File >Open to open your saved ProAnimator project.

    Likewise, you can use File >Save to save a PA project inside of After Effects to be opened in the standalone PA app later.

    Let us know if you have any more questions.
