[Jon Barrie] “You can select the AEP DynLink clip and Go to Edit>Edit Original to see what has been done to that actual composition.”

Sorry for not being more clear. The clips look fine in AE.

Thanks,
Robert

Here’s an outline of the ways that you can move data between After Effects and Premiere Pro.

Is there a link missing?

Thanks,

[Jacob Sisson] “Attached a screencap of the error”

Where?

[Alex Udell] “once you’ve selected it and chosen copy….

it’s in the copy buffer.

then you can select the destination clip(s) without the source still being selected…”

Duh! Normal copy and past scenario.

Thanks:-)

[Alex Udell] “”Replace with Comp””

Yes.

[Alex Udell] “I could be that while the media is getting passed, the filter is not…as long as the CC filter you are using is available in both apps you should be able to copy and paste it between the two….”

Good point. I believe I used the Fast Color Correcter to ballpark the clips for review. I will look to see if that is available in AE. It would appear the previous step of using Auto Color does show in some of the clips as it does a weird color cycle anomaly.

Which brings up another oversight, the PPro tools should be available in AE for proper round tripping.

Thanks,
Robert

[Alex Udell] “select the clip with the effects on it you want…

then select the destination clip and choose “Paste Attributes””

To be clear, I need to make sure the first one stays selected while selecting the destination?

Thanks,
Robert

[Robert Ober] “I spent more money I don’t have and upgraded my PPro to Production Premium. Want to send clips to After Effects but get the following error.

requires Production Premium

The install routine found PPro on my machine and did not reinstall it. Could that be the issue?”

So I uninstalled PPro including prefs, rebooted, reinstalled PPro from the Poduction Premium download and Dynamic Link works.

So, if my favorite Adobe man is reading, y’all need to have the installer backup and replace any previous PPro install or somehow make PPro know Production Premium is installed.

Y’all be cool,
Robert

[Kevin Monahan] ” can add more screenshots for this feature in upcoming versions (none can be added until then). I can also place a note that synching is only down with in/out points, clip start/end and timecode and not based on audio waveforms.”

I’m sure folks would appreciate that.

[Kevin Monahan] “One question: what would you like me to show in the screenshots?”

Many places I suppose. As an example there is a section about the Multi-Camera Monitor. Let’s suppose I am reading through the Help as if it were a manual. I may not be ready to use that feature but it would be nice to see what it looks like without having to switch to Premiere and open it. Assume we are are lazy. In my case it would be true:-)

Do you folks have a feature suggestion form? The audio waveform sync thing is a big timesaver! Particularly for those of us who sometimes shoot with multiple cams but don’t do this fulltime. Maybe you folks should buy the PluralEyes company? As you may have seen, I had to resort to PluralEyes to do my sync as there is no common timecode between the two cams and using a clapper was not possible as I started and stopped the shoulder cam during a church service. I could have done it manually but that is VERY timeconsuming and a PITA.

I really appreciate hearing from you.

Have a good whatever,
Robert

[Mark Morache] “If the audio from the handheld camera isn’t as clean, it may be difficult for the software to sync them up.”

Audio from the handheled is better than the one on the tripod.

[Mark Morache] “Since it sounds like you have two very long clips to sync, I’d do it by hand. Find some distinct action to sync the two clips to. I do it all the time, and it never takes very long.”

Actually one long clip and more than a dozen small clips.

[Mark Morache] “If your intention is to cut between the two cameras, you’re better off making a multiclip in FCP 7 since FCP X doesn’t have multicam yet, but it will hopefully soon.”

Still manual and tedious and time consuming.

Ended up using PluralEyes and Premier Pro CS5.5. I expect the folks in Cupertino will work on the sync.

Thanks for replying,
Robert

[Todd Kopriva] “If you merge clips in the Project panel, you get an option of how to synch the clips beforehand. If you merge clips in the Timeline panel, you don’t.”

But again synchronize stays grey and merge give no indication of what it bases the merge on such as timecode or waveform. It does not sync, just creates a combined clip based on select parameters.

JB, I downloaded the PluralEyes Premiere and it works. It missed several clips but by far got the majority. What a timesaver.

Thanks Folks,
Robert
