PPro CS3 Dynamic Link workflow queries
Hi Guys….
I asked theses on the Adobe forums, but thought I’d ask here as well..
1) When I copy and paste clips from PPro to AE…
Why do the pasted clips offest in the AE comp to the absolute matching Premiere Pro timeline?
Logically I understand what they are doing…
But I always end up moving everything back in AE so that the first event starts at 0 and the subsequent layers are all relative to the first event.
should I just be trimming the comp work bar area to the event as pasted by default in the AE comp?
I just like nice short tidy comps…especially when I move the dynamic linked comp clips back to the Premiere Pro timeline.
2) I am using a PPro system with Matrox hardware.
My experimentation in rendering has dictated that many times I need to set the output of renders from AE as Upper field first in the render queue to get the best quality for our work flow.
When I use Dynamic Linked AE comps in Premiere Pro….I’m not using the AE Queue, so how do I dictate the field dominance?
3) This I may have asked here before. We are shooting and editing in HDV. When I copy and paste from PPro to AE with HDV material…the proper clips are pasted, and they are all placed properly relative to each other as they relate to the PPro sequence, however within each clip, the wrongs frames are used. This is true regardless of whether I’m using and Adobe HDV project or a Matrox HDV project. It’s hard for me to believe we are the only ones experiencing this. DV works fine. It’s just HDV that has the problem.
Your insight is appreciated…
Thanks,
Alex

1) Yes, that would be a nice AE shortcut. Otherwise, as far as I know, you have to select the downstrean clips with the work area bar, and just render that section, or select all the layers in AE and drag them back to the beginning of the comp. You could create a new sequence in PPro, paste the section you want to export into it, then paste the clips in that sequence into AE, but I don’t think that would save much time. I hope someone has a better suggestion than these.
2) You could change the field dominance in the PPro timeline clip right-click menu (field options).
3) AE struggles with long GOP MPEG. You might be better off converting AE-bound HDV clips to a frame-based format first.

I just read the lower post on nested sequences in CS4. That should help with question #1.

I was thinking the same thing.
