Can you describe NADA?
does it not show up?
is it slow?
Are you using the Trial or a full copy?
PPro only or Production Premium?

Hi….
this task is better suited to After Effects if you have it.
If you’d like to knowhow to do it in AE lemme know…

“Aha, I’ve got it working now. It appears the problem before was that I was opening the new comp and editing that one, not just continuing to edit on the same one.”
Yup…
it’s hard to write that w/o it getting a bit convoluted.
Glad you got it sorted!
🙂

when you pre-compose in AE as suggested above, make sure you Choose the option to “Move all attributes into the new composition”
See if this helps…..
When I tried it with time remapping in AE….I was able to use only the frames of the trimmed source…
where as if i didn’t check the option, I still was able to access all the underlying media….
see if this does the trick…
word of warning….I had a heck of a time moving HDV media from P Pro to AE through dynamic link…get the wrong frames entirely…but that doesn’t seem to be your issue…

FYI…
But depending on your version of PPro (CS3 and greater)… there are great slow mo tools in the effect panel with quality levels up to motion estimation….so you don’t necessarily have to go to AE to do this….

Even when you Dynamic Link to create a AE comp, the file still refrences the underlying video file.
What you could do after jumping into after effects from PPro….
Immediately select the clip on the Dynamic Link comp timeline in AE and PRECOMP it (CNTRL SHIFT C (PC) ) (COMMAND SHIFT C (MAC) ).
then time warp the now precomp element on that has replaced the clip on your AE timeline…
this procedure basically virtualizes the clip so as far as AE is concerned the only frames available are the frames it sees on that timeline and not the underlying media….and should protect you from seeing frames you don’t want to see when doing the motion control.
Does that make sense?

Hi J,
if you import your file back into motion…do you see the transparency there?
If not, there is something wrong with your export setup.
If yes, then PPro is having trouble interpreting it.
Let us know…

They can think about it all they want to.
The ability to write Pro Rez is not available at all on the PC.
And only recently can PC read it at all….per Apple, not Adobe.The Mac should be able to read it write it.
So you have about 3/4 of a solution for a cross platform application.Some things Adobe has no control over.

Yep. Basically it’s supposed to be dynamically linked. When you go back to PPro, it’s supposed to see what you’ve done in AE.
RAM rendering in AE Prior to switching back to PPro is helpful.
You will need to render in PPro, rendering a file from AE is not a necessity. However Sometimes I will send the files to the comp fro PPro, but render a file from AE and bring it back to PPro manually, just because it handles better on the timeline.
Word of advice, there is no “UN-Replace AE Comp” So it’s good practice to start sending comps to AE from a duplicate version of your sequence just in case you need to go back for some reason.

I understand your concern.
Apple has decided that a homogenous codec solves their engineering problems with regards to HD footage. So they out the emphasis on engineering a standardized codec. Thus you pretty should be converting anything into ProRez to be working.Adobe has put the emphasis on supporting native formats.
In these early incarnations, price advantage goes to Apple, as no extra software is necessary.In the long run Adobe has a good plan, as hardware prices will continue to diminish and thus you’ll have a workflow that doesn’t require conversion on off the shelf hardware. So you gain the speed.
But today, Cineform is likely your Premiere ProRez equivalent.
