Editing a clip in AE from PPRO CS3 timeline?
I have alot of footage in a PPro CS3 file, 1 clip (which is shortened by 45 seconds from its original) needs to have the Wiggler in AE applied to it. Whats the easiest way to do that? Do I need to just open the whole 50 second clip in AE? Or export with premiere just that piece? Then open it in AE? Or is there a way to send it through Bridge? I`m not sure how bridge works. Any help would be great.

Try this…
1. In PPro copy and paste the clip you want to work with in AE into it’s own sequence in PPro. Name it ‘wiggle clip’. Save Project.
2. Open AE and import the PPro Project. Select the sequence ‘wiggle clip’. It will import just the edited version of the clip you want to wiggle. Add your wiggle expression to it and save the AE project.
3. In PPro import the AE comp ‘wiggle clip’ through Dynamic link. Click on the clip you want wiggling in the full edit timeline. Select the comp from AE in the project panel. Right click the clip in the full edit timeline and select the replace with clip from bin.
4. Done!
5. If you want to adjust the wiggle or anything else with it you can make the change to the AE project and it will update for you in PPro.

when I tried importing it into AE it still imported the entire folder that contained the clip I wanted. Took forever 🙁 Why didn`t it just inport the 1 clip?

Did you import all seq’s or just the one you separated from the complete edit?
It’s bringing in all the clips you need based on the sequences being imported.
You can remove unused from AE project. File>Remove Unused Footage.

i put the 1 clip into its own folder and then again tried importing the sequence that contains the 5 second clip, and again it just started importing the entire thing….which contains about 4 hours of footage. So I went the other root and just found the mt2 and brought that into AE manually then follwed the steps after that. Not sure why it disobeys me when I selected the proper sequence. Where do you import your sequences so I know i`m doing it right.

Alright then, try this…
1. In PPro make a new (File>AdobeDynLnk>NewAEDynLnk)
2. Save it the clip description you want to animate. (wiggle)
3. When AE opens there will be a Comp open and ready for you.
4. Go to PPro, select the clip you want in the timeline
5. Go back to AE and paste it into the AE comp.
6. Select the layer – Hit (Alt+Home) to bring the head of the clip the head of the comp timeline.
7. snap to the out point of the clip (press ‘o’)
8. press ‘n’ to work area the end of the clip
9. right click in the white area of the work area and select ‘trim comp to work area’
10. Make your animation/effect
11. Go back to PPro the DynLnk file can replace the clip in the timeline like a normal clip.
12. Done.
