Workflow question
I’m wanting to use AE to do post work on my short. I use Premiere Pro to edit and had a question about the best way to bring my project into AE. I know that I can import the premiere project into after effects but I read online where someone said that they copied and pasted the elements into after effects. Is there a reason why someone would do that instead of importing? Is one way better?
Once I’ve brought my project in and have done my post I know I should render out in AE. Any suggestions as to which format I should render to? Compressed or uncompressed? I’m wanting to put it on dvd eventually and have Encore dvd to author it.

If you have the Production bundle from Adobe, then I would not render, but rather use the Dynamic link and let Encore do the rendering… If you do not, then I would try and render back to the original codec that the footage was captured in.

Premiere Pro to edit back to AE would be ok dynamic link if not a bit sluggish compared to rendered out. You’ll need a lot of RAM to have both open and editing at same time. Original codec will be ok only if you render and import once. More that once, and you’ll start getting visual artifacts if the codec isn’t uncompressed 4:4:4 bare minimum 32bit/pixel at 16bpc. Don’t change your gamut space to a much larger space. That spreads out the bits thinly.
