Exports to After Effects
I am cutting a film on HDV, I need to give an AE artist some footage to animate. What is the best workflow to go from FCP 5.0 to AE 6.5?
Is targa sequence the best?
It was shot on Sony Z1 1080i, 25 fps, PAL.
thanks,
Jon

If you have the patience —
Your AE guy will REALLY APPRECIATE THIS
https://www.creative-workflow-hacks.com/2006/03/09/moving-between-final-cut-pro-and-after-effects-the-scripting-option/ (if you have intense cuts)An Animation codec or even a DV codec out of FCP via Compressor is the best way to go if you don’t want to do the above.
I’d probably go native to what you shot in — DV — b/c you can’t make it any better.
If you take the time to output with Compressor it looks a thousand times better than the stupid quicktime export. -
Export the clip/clips buy creating a new sequence extend the in and outs (handles). Export using the same settings as the original media if you haven’t done any rendering on those clips FCP will just copy data from the original file and write it to a new file.

A not-free, but FAST way to get an FCP sequence into AE (with each FCP clip as a separate AE layer) is Automatic Duck’s Pro Import AE.
