(workflow) Optimizing embedded After Effects animations in Premiere PRo
Hi all- I’ve searched high and low and haven’t found the optimial solution for my new project template structure/workflow.
Here’s what the workflow I’m looking for:
– Create new Premiere Pro CS6 project from template
– New project has intro/outtro embedded
– Can create new animated text overlays from Premiere Pro (using After Effects template embedded in premiere pro template)In the end, I’d like to have an efficient way to create new video projects in Premiere Pro CS6 that leverage a pre-built intro/outtro, and also make it easy for me to add new animated text overlays (with unique/new text) without having to navigate between Premiere Pro CS6 and After Effects CS6 a whole bunch of times.
I’ve figured out how to do the text animations, and how to import into Premiere Pro, but I don’t see a way to do new variations of my text composition without extra work in After Effects.
Possible? Would love to hear your suggestions. How do you all structure and work with these kinds of projects in CS6? Thanks for your time.

Make your animations procedural so they work the same regardless of the length or the text content.
Another thing to do is to use scripts to make your text content equal to the layer name. You can change someone’s name in the lower third by changing the layer name, you don’t have to scroll through the comps timeline, click on the text in the comp, saves a bunch of steps.
Lets say you have lower thirds that enter the screen or fade in, stay on the screen for a variable amount of time, then come off screen. I’ve been animating the entrance, adding one or two at rest frames, then animating the outro. In Premiere you can place the lower third, add a hold keyframe, stretch it to length, then take the hold off which animates the out.
