  • Easiest Workflow Text Effects between Premiere Pro – After Effects

    Hi,

    I’m trying to utilise Text Effect comps from After Effects in Premiere Pro. (Where I am more at home)

    I have this working correctly but am wondering if there is a more efficient method:

    Here’s what I do:

    1.) Create Comp in After Effects with Text Effect for Title 1
    2.) Export Text Effect as Title 1
    3.) Change Title 1 to Title 2 text
    4.) Export Title 2 (etc. for Titles 3 – 10..separate exports)
    5.) I then import all of these separate comps into Premiere Pro.

    This is a little slow and cumbersome.

    Is there a way I can just make all the comps in one After Effect file and then simply import the whole lot as separate titles in Premiere?
    Is there a better way than having to export each title as a separate AE file?
    I tried simply duplicating in Premiere Pro…but this just duplicates the very same title….I also tried making multiple layers in After Effects…then saving as a Premiere Project…but this just brings all the layers in as one large comp….I need the separate layers.

    Thanks.

    Hi….

    You can have one AE Project File and multiple comps in that Project.

    each comp is a title.

    If your windows, the easiest way to bring a comp into Premiere pro is to drag the comp from the project window in AE to the task bar over the Prmeiere Pro button (if it is already open)…

    this will bring Premiere Pro to the foreground..

    without letting go drag up to the Project panel in Premiere….done and done…

    I wouldn’t not try to drag multiple comps at once….this tends to lock Premiere Pro….

    Also don’t redrag a comp you have already dragged into premiere pro, this will also lock it…

    Another method is using the:

    File>Dynamic Link>Import AE comp (in Prmiere Pro)

    This opens up a browser that lets you select an AE project…

    in the AE project you can see all the comps and import them..

    this is pretty quick too….

    good luck!
