I found out what the issue was.

I was already aware that if any affects are applied in Premiere, they will be carried over into AE within the pre comp. I looked at all the clips and found that no settings had been changed.

What I did not realize, was that all the clips in Premiere had “Scale to frame size” applied. Once I turn that off on all the clips they can be copied and pasted into AE as excepted.

Sorry Tom, that was an intended as a reply to Robert.

haha yeah I’m familiar with that post. That’s me at the very bottom – bldg13.

😉

Still looking for a solution or answer.

Thanks for the response. I am familiar with dynamic linking and I do intend to explore that option… however I am interested in finding out a solution to my issue—why copying clips from Premiere and pasted into AE come in as pre-comps.

FYI – having similar kernel panics as well

Cinema 4D 11.5
Snow Leopard 10.6.2
Mac Pro 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad

ATI Radeon HD 4870

Any resolution or additional thoughts on this?

Thanks David!

We have been exporting similar videos for over a year with great success. The only thing that changed was the method.

Before we exported lossless videos from AE and combined/compressed/exported them in QT (H.264 .mov files). We had been working with the video in the “correct” vertical format from start to finish. QT had no problem exporting 768×1280. It was when we moved to Premiere and tried to still work with the vertical format videos that things got a little weird.

Now we keep all the video files rotated (1280×768) and all seems fine. Except for the before mentioned rotation issue using vimeo.

Thanks!

George and Jon,

Thanks for the input. Yes I have since been working “sideways” which seems to work fine. In the past I worked “right side up” and just rotated the video before sending to the display company. I guess I liked working right side up because it was easier to proof.

On a side note: I export a “sideways” video from Premiere rotate in QT and save for client proof and upload to Vimeo the video plays (in the vimeo flash player) sideways. Has anyone had any similar issues with rotated video not playing correctly?

We use vimeo to host videos for client reviews because it is cheap, fairly simple, and pretty secure. We are open to any suggestions for a better method. We run into clients not having QT, outdated QT, etc.

Thanks!

I have rotated the vertical videos horizontally (so everything is sideways) and seem to have much better success exporting. I can easily rotate the videos back in QT. This will probably be the workflow from here on out.

Thanks for all the input!

Hey Eddie,

At the trade shows the monitors are positioned vertically rather than horizontally.

[Nathan Gross]

Ok so it seems that my issue now (I mentioned this earlier as well) is that I am working in a vertical format (1280×768) rather than a more standard horizontal format.

AP seems perfectly content with working in the vertical format but AME does not seem to allow me to export anything (except using the QT output) in a vertical format.

Do I just need to rotate all my videos (not difficult) or am I missing something?

Thanks!
