Dynamic Link. Drag the comp from After Effect’s bin to Premiere’s bin. Render a preview once it sits in the timeline.

January 17, 2013 at 4:02 pm in reply to: Jpeg Document Quality Enhancement in After EffectsSome of these answers seem a bit misleading.
I suggest trying to bring the jpeg into illustrator. If it’s a good scan but you want something to blow up without quality loss then give Illustrator’s live trace. It will convert bitmap images to vector outlines. If things seem a little blotchy then tune the settings.
If this doesn’t give acceptable results, there are all kinds of OCR programs at different price points. Once you get the OCR result saved as a PDF then you should be able to open it in Photoshop and scale it quite a bit since it’s rasterizing a vector based font.

January 15, 2013 at 9:10 am in reply to: Vdeio/Audio out of sync in and when exported from Premiere, but not in it’s raw format!The use of a codec like Xvid in an implementation like screen capture may mean that your video is being encoded at a variable frame rate. Variable frame rate codecs cause uncurable sync issues with Premiere. This is true of some cell phone camera footage. The use of third party video converters before throwing it into Premiere may help.

There is no real interoperability with the workflow. You export individual clips from FCP, work with them in AE, render the result and replace clip in FCP.
This is, assuming, you aren’t trying to import full sequences from FCP to AE which is slightly different. After Effects CS6 can actually import a full FCP7 XML file (listed as an automatic duck file format, due to Adobe’s purchase of Automatic Duck, a piece of interoperability software).
Contrary to what the below video states, if you know you’ll be working with effects then you should consider working in ProRes HQ. Lower quality footage would be fine for draft sequences/renders but you probably don’t want the quality loss for the final product.

Make sure you even need MRQ. It’s really just an advanced mix of scaling and motion estimated sharpening for those who are scaling HD > SD, etc.
From Adobe:
Maximum Render Quality
Maintains sharp detail when scaling from large formats to smaller formats, or from high-definition to standard-definition formats. Maximum Render Quality maximizes the quality of motion in rendered clips and sequences. Selecting this option often renders moving assets more sharply.At maximum quality, rendering takes more time, and uses more RAM than at the default normal quality. Select this option only on systems with sufficient RAM. The Maximum Render Quality option is not recommended for systems with the minimum required RAM.
Maximum Render Quality often makes highly compressed image formats, or those containing compression artifacts, look worse because of sharpening.

January 14, 2013 at 10:02 pm in reply to: Ediing R3D files between Premiere and FCP and back to PremiereI agree with Shane, if he wants the job then he should know Premiere or find another editor who does.
If I recall, Final Cut will wrap the r3d files to MOV and will be able to read them with RED’s plugin, no conversion needed. With that said, conforming will be a bit of a headache because you have an XML that will have “.mov” as the file extension. Prepare do a little conform work in Premiere as edits are being brought back into the system. It’s a hassle but at least both systems should be using the same clip timecode; it’s not an impossible task.
Is this FCP7 or X? If it’s X then you need a kind of pricy conversion tool for the XML file it spits out that no one cares to be compatible with.

January 14, 2013 at 9:56 pm in reply to: Replace Footage with subclip or sequence possible ?Well would that truly work in your situation? Perhaps if you have the exact same clip or a clip very near in time it would be wasted work.
If you have two small clips separated in time, but they come from the same long high res video clip then how is Premiere to know they’re related?

January 14, 2013 at 9:53 pm in reply to: Premiere pro tome remap – Does it use all those frames at 100fps?!?No, it doesn’t “smart interpret” and use all 100fps.
If you drop a 100fps file into a 25fps timeline, Premiere will conform the video and, depending on your settings, either drop or blend frames to maintain audio sync.
I would, in the bin, right click and interpret the footage as 25fps. This makes it play in slo-mo (makes sense). I would then time remap to speed it up to real time; 400%. Then when I want to ramp into slo-mo I would just drop the time remapping to 100%.
It seems like a slightly backwards way of thinking about it, but it’s not difficult to work like that.
