CS6 workflow (Photoshop, After Effects, Premier Pro)

Hello, 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 and then import into premiere?  I noticed not all AE changes are accepted in Premiere. Same question goes with any changes to footage in photoshop as well.  Any advice would be great or at least a direction to look to get resources to help with my workflow.  Thank you.

You'll get way more feedback in either PP or AE forums than you will here.
Bob

  • Render once option instead of in After effects, Premier Pro & Encore

    Sorry if this has been asked before, but cant see it - and I am fairly new to after effects. I have CS6.
    I edit non-league football matches (soccer...) and so use a template package for all the graphics - goal scorers, team line-ups, a constant score in teh corner etc. THe graphics are done in After Effects, and brought into Premier Pro using Adobe Dynamic Link. Once the graphics have been done, I dont need to alter them in any way.
    I then do the editing in Premier Pro - and move the imported graphics onto the timeline - but they are unencoded, which makes watching them back slow and jerky. If I want to render the timeline it obviously improves, but when I add in another graphic, it seems to have to re-render everything, every time.
    It then takes up ages to export to h.264 for YouTube - so presume it re-renders again.
    Finally, when usin encore for the dvd - I presume it re-renders yet again, because that takes hours.
    Is there a way I could get After Effects to render once only, and then when it imports into PP - it treats it as a normal moving graphic, and the same with encore?
    I have tried exporting the files individually, but instead of getting a clear background (so you can see behind it) - it comes up black.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You can export from AE with a lossless codec like Lagarith.
    Make sure it is set to 32 bit (RGB+Alpha), that will give you transparancy.
    Drop this into Premiere timeline.
    Export to H.264 for Youtube or
    For making a dvd you can either use Dynamic Link or export from PP to mpeg2-dvd and import that into Encore.

  • CS6 to CC2014 after effects video edits getting moved around

    Hi,
    We are having a weird problem after moving our whole department to CC2014 from CS6.  Once we bring open a CS6 project in After Effects CC2014 all the video edits get thrown off by anywhere from 300 to 18000 frames in the actual edit layer window (in the composition the edit cuts are still in the same place).  We are shooting on Canon 305XF's using the 50 mbps .MXF format.  
    When I open the same project in CS6 and CC2014 and look at the footage setting in CS6 the clip says 9403 total frames in the interrupt footage dialog.  But when I open the exact same project in CC2014 it says 83160 frames.  If anyone has seen this issue can you point me in the right direction.
    I really need to have an easy fix for this issue as it is going to effect about 100 large older projects.
    Thank you
    Keith

    Yeah it is looking like a footage interpretation to me as well but wish there was some kind of auto fix.
    The broken process is opening the CS6 .aep with CC2014 .aep.
    What will work is opening the original footage edits that I made in Premiere Pro CS6 in Premiere Pro CC2014.  Then I save the Premiere Pro CC2014 and import into the .aep CC2014 that was had all the edits that went funky.  Since the composition were still the same I was able to replace the old broken edit compositions with the new CC2014 saved versions and now all the footage is correctly imported.
    The main problem with this process is how many projects I would have to do this to would make it a total pain.  As well I am very worried about such a manual process mistakes being made.

  • Adobe Flash/Photoshop/After Effects CS4 Installation - Internet Explorer Script Error

    Greetings everyone. Another Adobe Installation disaster story.
    I'm trying to install the aforementioned products (Flash, Photoshop, After Effects) on my computer, but I get about 20 "Internet Explorer Script Error"'s every time. [I don't even use Internet Explorer] I don't understand why the installation worked on a different computer I own but not this one. Both of them are running Windows XP Home.
    I've already tried removing all Adobe Products, using msicuu2.exe, CS4CleanupScript from Adobe, etc...
    This is the install log that was generated for Flash.
    Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Th's
    N.B i work with MAC BOOK PRO (intel ) with 2 GB of ram

    Hi there, same problem here but on a PowerPC.
    I just bought AE7 and installed it on my G5 (with then 10.3.7 running on it). Install went fine but the application would not start up.
    Thought this might be a good time to clean up and installed fresh new system on this G5, updated it to 10.3.8 and first thing: installed AE7 again.
    But: same problem. In fact, all Adobe application will not start up! The icon bounces a little and then nothing but a crash report.
    For a moment I thought I had the solution, because I disabled all the "user fonts". Everything worked fine. Then I installed, as before, my Apple applications (Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, etc) and, oh no... same problem over again. The Adobe application will not start up!
    Tried to disable all non essential fonts: no cure. This is driving me crazy....
    Any suggestions?

  • How am I supposed to buy Photoshop, After Effects, Etc.?

    Im a 16 year old with a strong interest in Graphic Design.
    How am I supposed to get Photoshop, After Effects, Illustrator, Etc.
    I know I can pirate them for free but I'd rather not.
    Please let me know your opinion on this.
    Thanks, Wronsz

    Creative Cloud for students and if you go to college then you get this price for a very long time with all the updates during that period.
    All the applications you need anywhere you are in the world.
    $29.99 per month. You have remote storage etc. The normal cycle for version upgrades are about 18-24 months if you consider that it comes out to less than $700 for the two years cycle.
    Production Premium is
    $449.99
    It has all of these, you just saved yorself $250.00 and upwards.  Where did you get the $700.00 figure?

  • Will upgrading to OS X Maverics require me to reinstall any third party softwar i.e photoshop, after effects etc.

    Will upgrading to OS X Maverics require me to reinstall any third party softwar i.e photoshop, after effects etc.

    Wait for testing.
    Do your own testing. Clone your system first.
    Do a clean install of 10.9 on another drive and then use that with Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant if you want.
    I would not update over the old system - at least not w/o a safety backup net to catch you.
    There are always a couple things that need fixing. And it may be that they won't know until they have the final bits and do their own inhouse testing now that they have the actual release version.

  • Photoshop CS6 PSDs into After Effects CS5.5

    Hi there,
    Our graphics department have recently upgrade Photoshop to CS6 version 13.0 x64. I am trying to open a .psd file they have created in After Effects CS5.5 version 10.5.1.2. However I get the following message:
    'After Effects error: could not open (.psd name) because it is not a valid Photoshop document. ( 51 :: 19 )'
    Is there any way they can save their photoshop files differently so that they will open or do I need to upgrade to After Effects CS6?
    Thanks in advance for the help.
    (wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the photoshop forum - thought I would try here first though)

    I've never encountered such an issue, and switch between both versions regularly.  On the machine I'm working on right now I have CS6 Creative Cloud installed, but do most of my AE work in CS5 or 5.5 because the clients I'm working for haven't upgarded yet.  But all my PSD work is done in CS6. 
    Is there anything unusual in the file, ie 3D content?  As Mylenium says, PS 3D has changed and is no longer supported by AE.  Otherwise, are you moving between platforms, ie Windows to Mac?  Does the file have a valid PSD extension?

  • Dynamic Linking between Premiere pro cs6 CC and After Effects is shaded grey and not working.

    Hi, I currently have a CC membership with everything included in the package. I have already downloaded Premiere Pro CS6 and After Effects. However, I cannot figure out why , when I right click a video clip in Premiere, the dropdown menu has the 'replace with after effects' option within the list greyed out, apparently not an option for me. I've browsed several tutorials and all of them illustrate using dynamic linking with ease as a readily available option. Can anyone help with this please?

    Thank You, Jim -
    Unfortunately that specifically did not work.
    Based on another comment sent to me, here is what did.
    In PProCC
    File > Adobe Dynamic Link > New After Effects Composition
    In AECC
    From that composition created from PPro, I imported the project (aep) initially created in AECC from another team member. Saved the file.
    Back in PProCC
    File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Import After Effects Composition
    Magic.

  • Photoshop keeps on getting out of memory error after installing Premier Pro

    I just upgrade my CS to CC. Yesterday I installed Photoshop and did my work without any problem but today after installing Premier and After Effect, I keep on getting out of memory error when I'm working even though I don't have any other application running accept photoshop alone. The file I'm working on is a small file, iphone plus size interface. Basically I can open the file, add blur effect and try to type text I will get photoshop telling me that my system is out of memory. Restarting photoshop give the same problem, restarting my computer give the same problem, ie do one thing and next will give memory not enough.
    I don't think my system is slow as it is workstation with dual processor and 12 gig of ram, windows 7 64bits 1gb dedicated memory for graphic card.
    I uninstall Premier and After Effect and suddenly the problem go away. Photoshop work as per normal. I didn't have the time to reinstall premier again but will try to do it tonight or tomorrow
    Anyone experience such problem before?

    When you get that error leaver the error showing and use something the can show you how much free disk space there is left on Photoshop scratch disk.  It may be a problem with scratch storage space not ram storage space.  I see Photoshop use much more scratch space the ram.  I have seen Photoshop using less than 10GB of ram on my machine leaving 30GB of free ram on my system unused while using over 100GB of scratch space.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 vs. After Effects CS6

    I would like to know which of these programs would be best for me.   I shoot video with my Canon Vixia HFS 20 HD camcorder.  I have a decent green screen studio set up in my basement.  I currently use Corel VideoStudio Pro X3 and am not happy with the poor chroma key features it has.  Is the Chroma key the same or similar on both of these programs?  I would rather spend less for Premiere Pro unless there is some really cool stuff in After Effects that would make the additional cost worth it. 
    I just bought a new Dell XPS 8500 desktop with a Core i7 processor, 12GB of RAM, Nvidia GeForce GT 640 1GB GDDR5, 460 watt power supply, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and a 2TB hard drive.  I just installed a WD Black 2TB internal second hard drive.  I would be willing to upgrade the graphics card and/or RAM if it would make a noticeable difference.
    I would really like some good advice on what to buy and suggestions of computer upgrades if needed.

    1. If you feel unhappy with the reply, why did you mark it as the 'correct answer'?
    That just decreases the probability some other Forum users visit your thread and give you an answer you will be more satisfied with...
    2. You probably misunderstands Creative Cloud Files concept. Those 20 GB are for sharing files, they don't limit you in storing and editing footages on your hard drive, and you don't have to use it.
    3. Both PrPro and AE have sets of keying tools that can do a decent job. However, the result always depends on many factors such as set up quality, the footage quality (it's difficult to pull a good key out of highly compressed footage) and your skills. Since AE is a compositing tool, you can pull better key there out of poor quality footage via several steps (which requires investing some time on learning).
    Just download trial versions of both applications and test on your own.
    If you're unhappy with built-in keying tools and have some money, you can extend them with 3-rd party plug-ins (e.g. Red Giant Primatte Keyer).
