Importing text from Premiere Pro to After Effects

[Jim Arco]

My guess is that you are using the Titler built into Premiere.

While I’ve never seen any explanation as to why, titles created in the Titler do not translate to any other Adobe product. I don’t think it generates an error message either.

After Effects doesn’t import Premiere Titles.

Crazy, right?

Well, that’s really stupid.

Are you forced to use the titler in Premiere Pro, too? Can you create text without it? As you can see, my initial text is very basic and doesn’t need the titler at all to function.

I’m with Dave, why not just type it in AE? Or, heck, copy and paste the text.

I agree that doing the text in AE (or even Photoshop) would solve this particular problem.

But it mystifies me why I can’t use the titler output in other Adobe applications. And why isn’t there even an error message? I’m sure I am not the only one to have asked for the ability to use the titler’s output in AE several times over the years.

My guess it that big-A bought the titler from someone and did not negotiate the ability to use it elsewhere.
