Wow, thanks a lot!
I followed your very clear instructions and it worked perfectly.
You should write the FCP manual.

Is it true that you can’t get the benefits of dynamic link just using premiere 2 and AE 7 and you have to buy the production studio to get these to work together?
If so, that sucks. the dynamic link should be made available to anyone who uses pro 2 and AE7. Most of us already have these products and it’s not economical to buy a production studio just to get the programs to work together.
I was going to buy AE7 pro upgrade until the salesman said that the dynamic link to Pro 2 would not be included so I said the hell with it.

Yes, indeed, why have two try-out versions?
And what happens if you try to import PAL or NTSC dv footage in your purchased software?
Nothing fancy, no conversion, just each format in its own project like you can do in Premiere Pro.
Can anyone please advise whether Premiere Elements can handle either PAL or NTSC formats or must one buy specific versions for each?
Thanks a lot.

Just to thank you again, David. Of all of the helpful advice I received on my problem, yours was the most simple and straightforward solution.
I can’t believe how simple it is to just drop dozens of stills onto the timeline, just as they come from a digital camera, and simply nest that sequence into a new one and have them all as a single clip that takes keying as a unit! I stretched the first and last still to create some editable handles and that was all.
You have saved us all countless hours and probably repetitive strain injuries to boot.

Thanks again, Steven,
I am going to try all this out and will let you know how I got on. You’ve been a great help.

Thanks a lot.
Would bringing the stills into After Effects as a numbered JPEG sequence mean that they were then one single clip?
Could I then save the file after applying the chroma key and new background as a single clip and return to Premiere Pro to edit?
I don’t really have the time to teach the kids how to use AE to edit, and it’s not really the best to use to try adding the transitions and other editing operations that they will be doing to their animations.

Thanks again. I have printed out your advice and will go try it out now. I’ll let you know how it went.

Thanks David!
By edit your frames in the sequence, I assume that you mean just laying them out on the timeline without having to do any of the bluescreen filtering at that stage?
If this works it will be a huge timesaver!!
