Ahh thanks much.

Ahh yeah I spent the bucks on this software specifically to take advantage of the Adobe workflow and ability to share between the programs. I just want to make sure I am on the right track with my workflow.

It is VERY nice to be able to edit in premiere and then push up to AE do all of the special effects needed, color grade with Color Finesse, and use Magic Bullet for tweaks and such while not once having to render anything until the very end…

If this works as it seems it should my editing workflow time is literally cut in 1/4 of the old Sony Vegas to AE days…

Thanks!

Let me clarify a little and then I would love to hear more. What I am doing at this point is I lay out a series of clips into a sequence and do all of the editing/cutting/sizing, clipping and such first. Once the sequence is what I want and flows through for the movie …then I take the clips and work along the timeline and push up to AE to grade, etc…

I am not rendering anything at all up to this point. Should I render first and then go up to AE? Or continue working the way I am and then render the clip while its up in AE and replace the source on my timeline?

Or can I just work in AE do all of the effects I need and save it…it udpate’s in premiere too (or seems too with that one exception) and then do just one render at the end?

I hope that explains better? Thanks for your time on this.
