Premiere + AE link to Resolve?
Hey everyone, Im new to Premiere. I have a project with several After Effects comps in the timeline. I wanted to somehow render the entire thing out and send the timeline to Davinci Resolve. Did I mess up my workflow by using AE before Resolve? Thanks for any help.

If you can, bake the movies and make a dupe of your timeline in premiere. Overwrite your AE comps with this new media and send to davinci.

Thats what I don’t understand how to do. If I render the timeline it doesn’t really do anything and if I export it its all one file.

Render the files out of AE, not premiere. This creates a movie.
Import those movies to premiere.
Dupe PPro timeline.
Replace AE comps with imported qt movies.
Send to the land of Leonardo.

OK that makes sense. If I’m working with 5d footage what should I render too? Lossless or h.264? Also, next time would I do better using after effects after I color with resolve? Thanks for the responses.

[Matt Harris] “Lossless or h.264?”
I wouldn’t render back to h264. Are you on a Mac or PC?
If Mac and you have access to ProRes, I’d consider that.

Depends on your workflow. Usually color is one of the very final steps, so I would think it’s best to present what you think is finished before trying to rework the graded footage.
I’d keep it the way you have it and give the colorist a conformed timeline.

I’m on mac and editing the original 5d footage. I was told that I dint gain anything transcoding to proves with premiere because it can use 32bit plug-ins like colorista. Is that true?

Since you are processing the footage, it’s not about gaining, it’s about preventing more loss.
H264 is very lossy. You shouldn’t take a lossy codec and recompress to another lossy codec.
