Importing After effects sequences to premier pro with camera and effects

Hi there,
I'm gonna try n put this across as best as I can. I have made a short film of 6 minutes (in 6 parts on after effects) I have added all the effects and the camera work on AE, but it needs a lot of editing here and there, which I find impossible to do on AE since you can't cut and join scenes like Premier pro. I need to import all these sequences onto premier pro for editing now. The problem is once I import the files, it imports in the right order in systematic folders etc, but it doesn't show any of the camera work or the special effects like gaussian blur etc. All my hard work has gone.
There must be a way you can import the after effects file on premier the way it looks on AE. Can somebody please help me?
Another problem is I read some boards and it has been suggested to edit the clips first on premier and then add effects on AE but I read this really late and I've already composited the whole film on AE. I just need premier for cutting now.
Thanks for any help in advance.
Cheers,
Nikhita
P.S: I also thought about exporting the AE sequences as TGA files but there's ZERO space left in my internal hard disk for that, and it would take forever to export them all anyway. Any other kind of export would reduce the original quality which I dont want, and which I dont have space for anyway, so that option is out as well.

Every production house in the world that is working on more than one project uses external storage for their video files. As long as the drive name and path do not change you have no problems.
Lossless or nearly lossless means that. No visible reduction in quality. That's why every production house that knows what they are doing uses production codecs in their workflow. Production codecs range from uncompressed (which very few use) to Avid, Black Magic Design, ProRez and a host of other specialized codecs. Jpeg2000 and png QuickTime can store alpha channels as well as a bunch of other 3rd party codecs.
The way you start loosing quality is to use highly compressed formats like H.264 or MPEG or AVCHD in your production pipeline. It is usually OK to start with these codecs as original footage if the camera you used only offers these options, but any use of a delivery format in the production pipeline for anything but delivery is not a good idea.

How to import MXF files to Final Cut Pro with smooth editing

Summary: Follow this tutorial to learn how to import and edit MXF files in Final Cut Pro by converting MTS to FCP native format.
If you have a Panasonic P2, Canon XF or Sony XDCAM series camcorder,
you may be familiar with Material eXchange Format (MXF). Though MXF is a
great video format to record high-definition videos, it is not easy to
use in that they are not natively supported by most NLE systems like
Final Cut Pro. In order to import MXF to FCP for editing, the easy workaround is to transcode MXF files to FCP compatible video formats.
Along with some help from a top MXF Converter, it can be done. To
help those who wanna edit MXF files in FCP without problems, here I
share with you a simple guide on how to convert MXF files to edit in
Final Cut Pro 6/7 or FCP X.
First of all, downloading the App- Brorsoft MXF Converter for Mac
Overall, the program is a professional yet easy-to-use MXF Converter
on Mac (Mavericks included) which can not only convert XF100, Canon
C300, XF105 and XF305, Panasonic P2 recorded MXF files, but also provide
simple video editing functions for you. The MXF to FCP Converter not
only can convert MXF to ProRes for FCP, but also can transcode MXF
videos for editing in Avid MC, Adobe Premiere Pro, iMovie, FCE, etc.
Just download it and follow the tutorial below to get the work done.
Transcoding (P2) MXF files to ProRes for Final Cut Pro 6/7/X
1. Import MXF files to the converter
Launch the best MXF to FCP Converter, and then click the “add files” button to browse and import MXF videos from your camcorder or hard drive.
2. Select FCP editable format
Click the Format bar, and move mouse cursor to choose “Final Cut Pro > Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov)” as output format.
Tips:
a. Settings- click to set video
resolution(1920×1080/1440×1080/1280×720/720×480), bitrate (from 1Mbps to
20Mbps), frame rate (24p/30p)
b. Editor (next to “Add” icon)- click to set deinterlace, trim, crop, add effect, attach subtitles, etc
3. Start transcoding MXF video to FCP
Click “Convert” button to start converting MXF files to Apple ProRes
MOV for FCP 6/7/X under Mac OS. Once the MXF to ProRes 422 conversion
is done, you can transfer MXF footage into Final Cut Pro (X) for editing
smoothly on Mac with ease.

How to import 4k cinema dng on premier pro 2014

how to import 4k cinema dng on premier pro 2014 ?

Wow. Thanks Colin.
When I follow your approach, I don't get the same "sequence preset" dialog box popping up.
FU question, though, the motion is frequently jagged. Is there a way to smooth out/increase the quality of the rendering? I have 16gb ram, Mac Pro. which is able to handle iPhone video rending fine in quicktime. (I've tried rendering for "performance" and "memory" but both seem to produce, eh results.).

Lost a sequence in Premier Pro.

Hi! I lost several hours of work after saving regularly in Premier Pro. I can't find the sequence I was working on. There was a "serious error" message, but I can't even find it in the auto-save folder. Sorry if this is a newb query, but the software works beautifully for me otherwise. Does it save the project and only some of the sequences? I can scroll through all the sequences, but the one I was woking on doesn't appear. Thx all

Ask in the Premiere forum and provide some useful and sensible information like system info, sequence settings, footage used, folder configuration and so on.

Is there a Premier Pro trial anymore, and if so, where is it?

Some of the experts in the hardware forum, after seeing my hardware, have recommended that I try out Premier Pro with the 30 day trial to see how it works with my workstation. I went looking for the trial, and along the way, someone came online with a chat window and asked if he could help me. I explained, and I could tell he was pointing me toward a Creative Cloud trial (something that I don't want to use). I explained that I was looking for a Premier Pro trial, not the CC, and he said he undstood. He put a link in his window, and I fired it off thinking I was where I needed to be. Unfortunately, it downloaded the application for Creative Cloud, which is what I didn't need.
I also separately found files for the Premier Pro program and downloaded them (4 files, just under 2 gigabytes). But those don't look like a trial, rather they look like replacement files for the purchased program.
I've looked all over the Adobe website, and read the entries I could find here on a Premier Pro trial, and still can't get to the trial
Can anyone here help me find the trial for Premier Pro? Or if it doesn't exist, should I give the CC trial version a try, and will that be representative of how the program will perform if I buy the Premier Pro.

p.s. Adobe sure seems to make it hard to evaluate and buy their product.

Mark,
Thanks for the very valuable information on this. I agree strongly with your comments at the end of your post that the nomenclature and how it is used in the Adobe website is confusing. Your discussion and notes above will help me a lot. People who work with this product line all the time are probably asking themselves, "what's so confusing about this?" But that is because their knowledge of the product nomenclature has built up over the years. and it is all brand new to me.
Here is how I got here. I've worked for years with sometimes buggy software (Pinnacle Studio) that got the job done. So I was looking for new and stable editing software, and maybe might have gotten around to Adobe Premiere Elements. I bought a new, fairly powerful HP workstation. When I tried running a trial version of Cyberlink's PowerDirector on it, it worked pretty well, but locked up occasionally. Cyberlink has responsive tech support, but they were concerned that the fact that I was using a "Workstation" might have caused the lockup (??). Later they suggested it might have been the fact that the workstation had a nVidia Quadro 2000 video card. So that issue (the lockups) hasn't been resolved.
Somehow through searches on the Internet, I ended up on your hardware forum, and after giving me advice, some of the people said there that I'd be a lot happier just moving up to Adobe Premier Pro or Creative Cloud, which would be much more stable, and benefit in performance from the specs on my workstation. They also suggested running the trial. So I decided to take a serious look at it, to insure it would solve the lockup problem.
And that was a month ago. While I've not worked it every day, I've been in and out of your websites often since then, trying to find a way to try the software with my hardware. Maybe that is tidbit to pass along to your Marketing department.
One more question: I'm looking for a stable and fast video editing program that can do some basic functions, like slow-mo and fast speed, insert pictures into videos, crop and re-grow to full size video clips, moving menus, maybe picture in picture, and some way of normalizing sound levels across a whole video. All of that is available in the Cyberlink program, so I'm expecting that it would also be in a basic Premiere Pro program. But on my search through your websites, I thought I saw something about Creative Suite (CS6, right?) that was more like an add-in to Premiere Pro. But in your message above, it sounds like CS6 is just a version number for Premiere Pro. Can you clarify, perhaps suggeting what I should buy if this works?
Thanks,
Terry

New Mac Pro with Lion and can't install FCP.

I got a new Mac Pro with Lion and can't install FCP that worked fine in SL. Is it not compatible? Is it really a PowerPC program??? I'm a videographer and rely on this software and to spend $300 to continue to use it after spending a lot more for this software 4 years ago! Tell me this is not the case and there is a solution to installing FCP.

How to run FCP 6 (FCS 2) under Lion.
The installer for FCP 6 (FCS 2) is a PPC app. The Programs themselves are Intel. If your trying to install FCP 6 (FCS 2) this work-around will work...
First you need to install Rosetta from your Snow Leopard OS installation disc:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/27987.html
After doing that you can install FCP 6 (FCS 2). Remember, after installing FCP 6 (FCS 2) you need to apply the updates. This has been discuss many times in the Final Cut Studio forum.
If your trying to install FCP version 5.1 (FCS 1) (a PPC app) and below your out of luck....

Why do I lose my text layer in AE when gpu ray trace rendereing? Macbook pro with retina and latest

why do I lose my text layer in AE when gpu ray trace rendereing? Macbook Pro with Retina and latest AE update.
Any new text layers disapear also as soon as the 3d box is checked. Solid layers do likewise. The text is available in fast draft mode but is not present in a final render.
Adussting the number of "rays" makes no difference.
No one else seems to be having this problem with ther macbook pro with retina ( on internet).
What silly mistake am I making???????????
If I start the project in CPU ray trace all is fine. If after the problem develops in GPU I change back to CPU I DONT get them back!!!!!
I just reset the AE preferences - no help.

I tried to airdrop Civilization V from a Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion to a Macbook Pro with Lion and it doesn't work. Other apps have but Civ V has not.

Likely because it's a not self contained and/or it's game and copy protected, so install it via the developers instructions instead, which likely means it will have ot be uninstalled off the first machine, the developer contacted for a new license key before installing on the newer machine.
If you want it on both machines, you will need to likely buy another license.
Most developers are fine with transfering license between machines, you have to contact them.
They just want to make sure it's only on one machine so they are not getting robbed.

Cannot convert webpages to pdf using Acrobat X Pro with IE9 and Windows 7, worked fine until a few m

Cannot convert webpages to pdf using Acrobat X Pro with IE9 and Windows 7, worked fine until a few months and updates ago

I tried your suggestion, not knowing that the direct pdf printer would also "save as" PDF, but when I try your suggestion and use the Adobe PDF printer that is a direct creation of the PDF from the browser (IE9), instead of the "black out" areas I get when I use the "Convert to" button, I get missing blocks of the resulting PDF, and only get the first 1/4 to 1/3 of the webpage.
Just to clarify, when I said I print the webpage and then scan, that is a work around I have to do if I need a scanned version of the way a webpage appears on a particular date and time, instead of the one step process I used to be able to do when Adobe Acrobat would actually convert the webpage to a pdf without blackout areas or, if I try your suggestion, blank spots with a partial webpage. But the idea was one I had not thought of and I appreciated the thought.
Yes, Acrobat was updated, and is updated, and was working fine until a few months ago, Win 7 and Office 32 bit versions, Office 2010

I have the new macbook pro with retina and I am trying to back it up, with wd passport for mac and is telling me it is going to take 7days. Any Ideas? Im afraid that means there is something wrong with my hard drive. I have verified the disk and it says everthing is ok.

It seems to be a common problem that those drives don't perform well, at least not with Time Machine.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message. Clear the text field and scroll back in the log to that time. Post the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
