How do I prevent turning a clip into a composition when importing to After Effects from Premiere Pro?
How do I prevent turning a clip into a composition when importing to After Effects from Premiere Pro?
might have worded that question differently.. but that’s exactly what is happening on this current project.. i can take some footage right now.. import it to premiere pro.. put that footage in my current sequence… copy it.. paste it into an After Effects sequence and its just sitting there on my screen as a composition.. but i did not want it be a composition..
ok now i open a different Premiere Pro project file.. put new footage in the sequence.. copy paste to AE… and its a single clip… not a comp..
so why is my current project doing this? what are even the possibilities?

How are you initially getting to After Effects?
(mechanically…what procedure?)

OK…just to follow up….
the only two methods I can think of that will replace a clip in the PPro timeline with a comp
1) Right Click and select “replace with AE COMP”
2) Create AE Dynamic Link.Just copying and pasting should not create a comp.
So you probably did one of these to get AE going without realizing it…?
