Dynamic Link question (Ppro + AE)

[Dave Friend]

Have you explored the color correction tools in PPro? Do you find them inadequate? If you can make them work to your satisfaction it would certainly simplify your workflow.

[hiostt] “(I think you can’t do transitions same time when cutting in Ppro because AE mess them up).”

I find that importing a sequence into AE usually works pretty well. On occasion a transition might get misunderstood but those are easily corrected in AE.

[hiostt] “3. Open AE project in Ppro using Dynamic Link. Adding transitions and then burn to DVD.”

I would probably render the whole thing out of AE and import the results into a new PPro project. In my experience Dynamic Linking is so system resource intensive that PPro becomes unstable and sluggish. IMO, DL is ultimately less effcient than the old render/import workflow – at least for more complex projects.

I use film magic pro pre-sets in the video. They are not available in Ppro.

But 5min30sec video would be huge with no compression am I right? And very big files dont work smoothly in Ppro either. But if I make color corrections and transitions in AE I dont have to do anything else in Ppro, just burn it. So Dynamik Link’s “lag” wont be issue…

You don’t need it uncompressed is my guess. You might be just as happy exporting a movie as DV AVI which would allow you to work with it in Premiere Pro without additional rendering.

I would cut it up in Premiere Pro, import the project into AE, apply effects in After Effects, then export individual files as DV AVI. Then use those in Premiere Pro, add transitions, and export to DVD.
