How to put edited AE clips back into PPro? (CS5.5)
Okay, so, here it goes.
I edit my main footage in Premiere Pro. I recently purchased a denoising software that only is compatible with After Effects, so I have been using the denoiser plugin in After Effects. After I edit my basic video cut in Premiere, I select all of the clips (including audio) in the timeline, and open it in a new AE comp. After it has been opened, I do all of my major video touch ups in AE (such as denoising). Now, when I try to export the project as a Premiere Pro (PP) project and open it in Premiere, it doesn’t load the project. It’s just an empty sequence. That is not a big deal though, because I tried something else. I tried linking the AE composition from AE to PP which works, but it is very slow and precomposes all of the individual clips into one video clip.
So, just to go over it again, this is what I did: Cut clips in PP > Selected all clips in the timeline of PP and opened them in a new AE comp > Edited the individual clips inside the AE comp w/ effects that are not supported by PP (only AE supports the denoiser effect) > opened the edited AE comp in PP > then the comp came up as a precomposed video clip instead of individual clips.
So, my question is, how do I get the comp from AE to stay as individual clips when I open it in PP in case I need to adjust something? Is there a way to do this? Or should I just do the denoise effect very last?
Two other things:
(1) I noticed that it is extremely slow in PP to render parts of an AE comp… is it just because of the added effects?
(2) I transcode my video footage to ProRes 422 before I bring them into PP. Once I bring the clips into AE and then back into PP (if I figure out how to), will the clips still be the same ProRes codec? I need them to be the same codec due to color grading and effects later on in post.
Thank you SO MUCH if you can answer this! ANY help is appreciated! I explained this pretty much as good as I can, so if you don’t understand my question, just ask, and I’ll try to give you more info. Thanks!!

How about if you open individual clips in AE as individual comps? They reamin individual clips back in PPro.
The process may be sluggish depending on your machine, RAM, CPU etc. -
That’s good advice and I’ll make sure to try it! The only problem is this: I film my videos with a Canon T2i, so there rarely is a shot with no grain. So basically, I need to edit every single shot in my movie in AE because it has grain. Is this the best alternative? Surely it’s way better than doing the entire comp!
Thanks for the reply 🙂

Try Neatvideo for denoising your videos, is the best program i know for this job, it works really fine; there´s a plugin for Premiere Pro CS5.5 avalilabe, so you won´t need to export them to AE and then back again.
Anyway, have you tried to import the pp proyect (.prproj file) into AE?
I think this could be one option to do what you need.Regards

I hbe heard of Meat Video, and it looks awesome! But I already have Magic Bullet Denoiser 🙁 Amd I have exported the entire project to AE which works phenomenally, but the problem is that I cannot get it back to premiere with the AE effects added. It comes back as a precomped clip that can no longer be edited– unless I manually trim it. And is there a way to do this without both PPro and AE open so it will go faster?
Thanks!

You don’t need to have AE open when you work on PPro.
