Broken Transferring from After Effects to Premier Pro

All:
First time poster; VERY new with the Adobe Suite of tools and have really been learning through playing around and watching Youtube tutorials. 
I'm creating a video on Premier using a bunch of chopped AVI captured PS3 footage.  I went into After Effects to make an intro and a few little 2 second add-in clips.  I can't remember the settings for the clips, but the bottom line was that when I render the AVI footage and then pull the clips into my Premier work, it either gives me a red bar across the timeline or it shows the clip garbled and messed up, usually locking up my computer shortly after.  The intro clip I did seems to work fine and there have been no issues, it's just those two damn two second clips that have brought me to a standstill.
I'm sure this is no big deal and is an easy formatting issue, but again, I'm just making this up as I go a lot of the time.  Thanks for all your help!

It is indeed a format issue. Use G-Spot to determine what the codec is inside that AVI then use Google to find a suitable converter. You need to convert from whatever you have into MS DV AVI type2 and PCM/WAV stereo 48 KHz sound.

  • Getting Error while transfering projects from After effects to premier pro?

    Video Filter missing: AE.ADBE FreePin3
    This is the error i get when i try to export and open After Effects projects in to Premier? Im working with the puppet tool and i want to export my project to premier pro cs3 so i can further edit it there. Im using After Effects Cs3 and Premier Pro CS3? please help

    Well, does Premiere have a "Puppet Tool"? Absolutely not. Therefore how do you expect this feature to come over to PPro? Sorry, but that's simply impossible. You will have to render the project or use Dynamic Link from withing Premiere ("Import After Effects Composition), not the other way around.

  • After Effects, Photoshop, Premier Pro CS6

    I'm new to CS and have been learning quite a few different programs over the past few months regarding post-production.  I've primarily been using Photoshop, After Effects, and Premier Pro.  I have noticed there are tons of different ways to work within and across these programs through the CS package.  Because there are so many ways to accomplish an end result, I was unsure what is the right way to edit or manipulate video footage.  For instance, if I plan on using after effects to do color correction using color finesse, or matte painting and rotoscoping, what order should I open the files and change them?  Should I start in premier and then use AE, or should I change in AE, export as a rendered file format, and then import into premiere?  I noticed not all AE changes are accepted in Premiere, which would require me to render in AE first correct? Same question goes with any changes to footage in photoshop as well. Renders always downgrade the quality somewhat and by the time I'm done applying the effects and final edit, I don't want my project to be rendered two or three times before the final render. Any advice would be great or at least a direction to look to get resources to help with my workflow issue.  Thank you

    Let's define some terms first:
    Shot: A continuous block of unedited footage from a single point of view. Also called a Take.
    Sequence: Two or more shots that that have been trimmed or cut together to tell a story.
    Scene: A continuous block of storytelling either set in a single location or following a particular character. The end of a scene is typically marked by a change in location, style, or time.  A scene can be a single shot, a simple sequence, or a combination of many sequences.
    Movie: A completed project that tells a story. A movie can be 10 seconds long, or 10 hours (re: Andy Warhol)
    The best use of After Effects is to work on a Shot, Scene or sometimes a Sequence, to composite elements, add graphics, or adjust the look (color grading) of a Shot or a Sequence. After Effects is probably the most difficult tool you could ever choose to edit a long form movie.  Dynamic link is very useful in the early stages of developing sequences. Once the sequences are approved, I will usually render the sequence to a production codec for use in the NLE. I'll talk more about codecs later.
    The best use of Premiere Pro (or any NLE) is to organize shots into a sequence or scene, and then to organize the scenes into a movie. Most amateurs try and cut a long form (over 10 minutes) movie in a single timeline. Professional editors organize each sequence in their own timeline (notice that Premiere Pro calles timelines Sequence 01, Sequence 02 etc.) and then combine those sequences into Scenes or a movie by combining the sequences into the final movie in a single timeline. In the end, this is a more efficient way of working on any project involving more than just a few shots.
    Photoshop may be used to work on shots, but it is entirely unsuited as an editing tool. Photoshop and Illustrator are primarilly used to create elements like graphics or backgrounds that are used in After Effects or Premiere as part of the story.
    The best workflow is the one that carries you to project completion with the fewest number of steps in the least amount of time. In nearly every case this means that you trim your shots into sequences in your NLE. The next step is to modify shots or sequences in a compositing program like After Effects. If you are working on individual shots in After Effects, it is almost always a good idea to give them handles. I handle is a few extra frames at the beginning and end to allow for fine tuning the edit in your NLE. Good rule of thumb is to add 30 to 60 frames.
    Let's talk now, just for a second, about rendering. You are a little misinformed about rendering.
    There are two types of codecs used to in production. The first is a production codec. This would be something like ProRez, or Animation, or even JPEG 2000, at the highest quality settings. To be classified as a production codec the rendered files must be lossless, or nearly lossless. Production codecs take up a lot of DriveSpace. Some of them will not even play back in real-time on any system. Many production houses use image sequences as their standard production format. You can render, remember, and then render again from into production codecs with no loss in quality. All you need is enough storage space to hold the files. Every production codec that I use is at least 10 bit color depth.
    The second type of codek is called a delivery codec. These are highly compressed, playback in real time on inexpensive systems, and should never, I repeat never be used in the production pipeline. Anything in the MPEG class of codecs is a delivery codec and should not be used in the production pipeline.
    Come to think of it, there is a third type of video codec. These are acquisition codecs. They are the codecs used by the various camera manufactures to record video. AVCHD, is a very low data rate codec used by consumer cameras. Other cameras from the consumer level to the pro level may use various forms of MPEG encoding. These "acquisition codecs" are not suitable for use downstream in the production pipeline at all. What I mean by that is, you should never render some original footage back to the original acquisition codec. The only exception to this rule are professional cameras and recording systems that record in lossless or raw formats right from the start.
    One last thing. Don't forget sound. Professional polished productions always use specific sound editing programs to complete the audio track. While you can do a fair job in most NLE's, you can do a much better job in something like Adobe Audition. Cutting, editing, or adjusting sound and AE should be limited to reference audio or scratch tracks only. After eEffects will do a good job of rendering a lossless audio track from a clean original, but it's one of the most cumbersome and ineffective audio editing tools ever designed. Oh wait, AE is not an audio editing tool, so it's okay with me.
    I hope this helps you along your path.

  • CS 5.5 After Effects and Premier Pro not listed in install

    I recently purchased an overstock item of the CS 5.5 Master Collection student edition and attempted to install all of the applications. I successfully installed everything with the exception of After Effects and Premier Pro. AE and PPr are clearly part of the package, but are not included in the list of applications during the install (screen shot below). 
    I have a Mac Mini with 2GB RAM using system 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).  Is there something I'm missing?

    Do you know which requirements I need to fulfill?
    Below is what I could find and it seems that I have what is stated:
    Minimum System Requirements: Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support, Mac OS X v10.5.7 or v10.6, 2GB of RAM, 4GB of available hard-disk space plus 2GB of space for optional content; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash-based storage devices), 1280×900 display with OpenGL 2.0–compatible graphics card, DVD-ROM drive, QuickTime 7.6.2 software required for QuickTime features, Broadband Internet connection required for online services

  • After Effects and Premier Pro cs4 installation

    I have a computer that runs on a 32 bit system. As such, I cannot use the cs6 versions of After Effects and Premier Pro cc. I have succesfully downloaded the cs4 versions and have the files on my computer. I unzipped the files, and tried to run the application. I am asked to extract the files (again) in order to run them. I do so, but after extraction is completed, the diolouge box closes, and nothing happens.
    I have tried this several times, I have completly shut down my computer, but this loop keeps occuring.

    After the extraction is through, the setup may need to be initiated manually with the setup.exe/ installer files in the folder that was extracted....

  • From After Effects to Premiere Pro

    Hey anyone!
    I'm having trouble transferring an After Effects composition to Premiere Pro.
    The compostion is just 2 animation presets (filters) applied to 2 adjustment layers on top of a Premiere Pro sequence that I imported (right-click AE project pane, select "import").
    I've tried the following:
    - right clicking the project media pane in PP, and importing the AE comp.  When I did this, I could view the comp in my source monitor, but I could NOT move the comp onto my sequence timeline.  Tried dragging, setting in/out points, it just gave me the ghostbusters "no" symbol when I tried to drag it into timeline.
    - copy/paste the layers from AE into PP timeline.  Adjustment layers became 2 video tracks that were nothing but a slightly transparent white solid over video that was disconnected (red screen with "media disconnected" written all over it).
    - exporting the AE comp as a new PP project (File-->Export...).  The new project had nothing in it but a blank timeline.  Tried copying/pasting comp into that.  Nothing happened.
    - exporting the AE comp as an uncompressed AVI.  AE just keeps freezing/crashing in the middle of the export even if I split the comp up in 2 to make it easier.
    What am I doing wrong?  Am I doing anything right?  What is the BEST method for transferring an AE comp into a PP timeline?
    System specs:
    Intel Core 2 Quad 2.7 GHz processor
    6 GB RAM
    Windows 7 64-bit
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 1GB graphics card

    ...problem is, this error occurs when I have ONLY After Effects open.  No other applications.  I even shut down AE before using PP.
    I could see how if there was slow import speed or freezing/crashing that this would be a processing or memory issue.  I even have a processor/RAM monitor widget that doesn't show a lot going on during the composition importing/copy&pasting.
    But in the process, I either get:
    - a new premiere project (via dynamic link) that's blank
    - a composition that will import but not open in a timeline
    - copied layers from AE that are basically blank ("media disconnected" even though the media works in AE)
    I'm going to take a look at a few things once I get back to my PC.  Maybe I don't have some settings right.
    Thanks for your help, Dave. 
    Anyone else have any ideas?

  • Transferring from After Effects

    I am trying to key out a green screen using After Effects.  The program itself does a better job with the footage I am using than FCP.  After I finish my work I am having trouble importing the footage back into a file that FCP can read.  Does anyone have any suggestions or tips on how I could export from After Effects into a file that FInal Cut can read or is there a possible direct way to send that footage to FCP.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    There are two ways to do this, use ProRes4444 or use the Animation codec. Open up the help system that comes with AE and look up how to set your rendering (not exporting) queue to produce a movie that contains the alpha channel.

    Hi,
    We currently have a suite of 23 iMacs running Mountain Lion and Adobe CS6 DS - we have now been asked if we can install Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premier Pro - I know we could probably buy a bundle that includes the two but we already have the CS6 DS suite so there is no point doing this, how do I go about getting a download of this that I can then lisence and distribute to the iMacs in the suite?

  • Color grade from after effects to premier

    I started my color grade in after effects before i edited my video how do i send the footage over to premiere using dynamic link? or should i export the footage individually and then import them to premier?

    There is no one best way to do this for each project. On professionally produced high end projects final color grading is usually the last step by the initial color grading could have been applied upon import of the camera original footage using LUT's. For most projects that are finalized in Premiere Pro I color grade in PPro or Speed Grade. The new Magic Bullet suite from Red Giant makes this very easy and effective if you need advanced color grading.
    Inside AE I will often nest sequences for initial color grading inside AE and if a shot needs a bunch of help I'll color grade before I start. I know this doesn't help much but the best, most efficient workflow depends on the project.

  • Using After Effects with Premier Pro CS5

    I’m trying to add some text effects over my video, but I’m really stuck right now getting After Effects and Adobe Premier to work together.
    From the tutorials I’ve watched online, I’ve been trying to create a dynamic link between the two programs so I could easily create texts and other effects in AE that immediately show up on my timeline in Premier.  I've been able to create texts, but whatever I create in AE is not showing up on the Premier timeline.  Am I missing a step?  Also, when I load up my sequence into AE, all of the color correcting that I’ve done with Looks inside Premier goes away, and the clips appear as they did right out of the camera.
    Any suggestions would really help.
    Thank you.

    You are seeing normal behavior. When you select footage in a sequence and create an AE comp from that footage the raw footage is used. Once you save the AE project the comp now replaces the footage.

  • After effects and Premier pro corrupted after dynamiclinkserver crash CS6

    Hi guys,
    The title says it all really.
    I was trying to render an after effects file in CS6
    I opened Premier Pro and created a dynamic link. this crashed after a while and both programs now fail to start up.
    I have tried most of the suggested fixes to no avail.
    For information: I also have CC installed and it runs fine. If i log in as another user with a clean profile then they run fine. So im guessing its a common user based issue.
    premier pro just stops working on launch
    After effects freezes on the mediacore loading. It then gives a message saying Quicktime is not installed on this computer (It is). If i click okay it then proceeds to crash with a dialogue box which refers to the dynamiclinkserve.exe
    Becasue it seems to be profile based im thinking a reinstall wont make any difference here.
    All help greatly appreciated
    all the best
    chris

    FIXED!
    if you have this issue the best way to see if the dynamiclink server is in a crash loop. It will intermittently freeze your machine. On the task manager you will see it starting and quitting.

  • Keyframe info from After Effects to Premiere Pro?

    I suspect I wount have any luck with this but is there a way to copy 'position' keyframes from a layer in After Effects and apply them to footage in Premiere?
    I want to add some handheld movement but I dont want to lose image quality by exporting footage out of Prem, into AFX and back out again.
    The source footage is Red RAW and I dont have the importer to get it into AFX either which is why I was hoping for a work around.
    Thanks

    Here's a possible workaround:
    After doing your animation in AE, go to File > Export > Adobe Premiere Pro Project. Save the project file wherever you want.
    Go back to Pr, and either import that project into your current project, or open it. Your AE comp should be a Pr sequence now, and the keyframes should be intact.
    This works on my setup, but I do have the Production Premium bundle so I don't know if this all works without it. Give it a shot!

  • Render files from After Effects inserts do not reload when starting Premiere Pro (CS6)

    Hi there,
    When I have an insert from After Effects in Premiere Pro, and when I render these parts in the sequence, everything is fine untill I restart Premiere Pro: the render files do not load. Checking the cache directory however, they do exist! Anybody knows how to solve this issue?
    Thanks for yor response, Pieter

    I failed to mention that I tried this on another computer as well with a completly different lesson. This time I brought the whole footage in to afteraffects and did the keying and then went back to CS6 and tried to render it, and it locked up my second computer the same way.

  • Exporting comp from After Effects CC to Adobe Premiere Pro CC (2014) gives error message: "AE can not connect to dynamic link"

    I am trying to export an AE CC comp into a Adobe Premiere Pro CC (2014) video project. I can not drage it from AE to Premier Pro.  Is there a problem with the dynamic link between these two applications?

    Dynamic Link only works between After Effects and Premiere Pro if the applications are of the same version---i.e., both CC 2014 versions.
