Thanks to both of you for valuable insights. Seems like the best thing would be for me to reimport the clips and only edit them within projects. Bob

Thanks a lot. I’m a still photographer with some Final Cut experience who just switched to Production Premium. I feel like I’ve got a good handle on Premiere but still shaky on AE. Your reply helps convince me I need to jump into AE with both feet.

So my tentative plan is to edit raw images in Lightroom, then export the ones I want to use in videos at highest jpeg quality, fullsize.

Next I can either:

1. Import the jpegs into PP, place them in a sequence, then choose “Replace with AE composition” to edit them in AE; OR

2. Import them into AE, put into compositions, add effects, then import the compositions into PP.

Is one way better than the other?

I do have one other question. Experts like Rich Harrington and Chrish Meyer say that to pan and zoom, always keyframe the anchor point and not position. If this is so, then for what purposes would someone want/need to keyframe position?

Thanks again… I appreciate it.
