  • Premiere to After Effects to Speedgrade workflow?

    Posted by Jimmy Ji on April 13, 2014 at 4:16 pm

    Hey guys,

    I use magic bullet denoiser to remove grain from my footage. I found that it runs a lot faster on after effects than it does in premiere.
    (I could be wrong)

    So I edit my video then dynamic link it to After Effects for grain removal.

    Once all the footage noise is removed I take the now “nested” clip from premiere and bring it into Speedgrade.

    Problem is the clips are all combined as the after effects composition, and it makes it difficult to grade.

    *Side note*
    I just noticed that colorista II is much more responsive as well in AE and I actually enjoy it a lot to edit in After Effects, but still enjoy Speedgrades features more. Is there any way to have a dynamic linked AE composition not all be nested in premiere?

    Not sure if someone can help me with my color correction/grading overall workflow.

    Also do you recommend that I denoise before correcting/grading or after?

    So to summarize you have a video file or nested comp from AE that is one solid file?

    Save an EDL from your original timeline (as long as the video is sanitized for EDL, in other words, one layer of video only) and then in Speed grade you should be able to open the EDL in the media browser and drag it onto the solid black from AE and it will cut it.

    If your project is too messed up for that, you could use Speedgrade’s Scene Change Detection.

    Thanks for your response.

    The videos I normally work with are all over the place with layers so doing and EDL isn’t my best bet.

    Does Speedgrade have some sort of noise reduction?
    That is really the only reason I use AE for some projects unless I need gfx.

    My other main question was what I said above which was if I dynamic link PP and AE is there a way to keep my clips separated the way I had them cut.
