Export sequence to after effects

I'm editing a feature film at this moment, the problem is I have finished all cutting and trimming in to a sequence, then I would like to do color correction with after effects.
Is there anyway I can import all clips in the sequence into after effects ( even though I have to do clip by clip)?..
So far I just see that after effects can only import the original captured clip (from hard disk) not the one from sequence (the one has been marked and trimmed).
Please help, thank you

Not with FCE. You need Final Cut Pro and Automatic Duck.

How to Render a TIFF image sequence with After Effects or Premiere

So I shot a timelapse in RAW using my D5200. Developed the images, imported into after effects to make a composition at 1080p 24fps, the clip is 15 seconds long. Then I rendered the clips a few ways and none of them are what I want:
I used the H.264 first, its just pixelated and blocky, doesn't retain a smooth resolution. H.264 output an MP4 that was 6.5 MB.
Then I tried lossless and it output an AVI which is awesome resolution but the file is 2 gigs! Not even VLC media player will play it smoothly without buffering.
Last I tried H.264 BluRay which output an M4V file which is 45 MB and I can't get it to play.
So now I'm here asking you all what the way to go is. When I download films, I will aim for a 1-2 gig 720p or 1080p file on roughly 2hr films. The resolution is great, the audio is great and the file like I said is only 1.5gigs average. So what are the rendering settings I should be using to get a file like this? Should I be importing it into Premiere Pro first or what?
-Thanks
Bruno
For Reference, here was my workflow:
I generally followed an Adorama Rich Harrington Time-Lapse youtube video on workflow which was:
Developed the Raw files in Camera Raw
Used the Image Processor to create the Tif files
Imported into After Effects as a TIF sequence
Interpreted the sequence as 24fps
Changed the Composition settings to 1080p 24fps
Then did the rendering as detailed above

1. You don't need to export your TIFF sequence so as to import it into After Effects, you can import RAW image sequence into After Effects directly. Camera RAW will start automatically on importing. What is more, you will be able to change your Camera RAW settings at any time you want inside your AE project: in Project panel select your RAW image sequence, right-click, choose Interpret Footage -> Main... In the dialog box click More Options... button (at bottom left), and Camera RAW opens.
2. Do NOT export to H.264 out of After Effects directly. If you need to export your composition to H.264, export it out of Adobe Media Encoder. Start from HDTV preset. If your goal is to upload your media file on e.g. YouTube, done. If you want to play it back on your computer, but your mediaplayer can't playback it in real time, start to decrease bitrate settings. Keep in mind that modern AVCHD cameras shoot with 28 Mbps, first AVCHD camcorders were shooting with 17 Mbps, YouTube preset in Adobe Media Encoder sets bitrate to 10 Mbps, Vimeo preset - to 8 Mbps.
Choose VBR, 2 Pass so as to benefit from better quality out of smaller file size.
See this The Video Road blogpost on Understanding Colour Processing and benefits of Render at Maximum Depth option.
3. If you're planning to use your After Effects composition in Premiere Pro project, you can use Adobe Dynamic Link. If your After Effects composition is quite complex, render a Digital Intermediate out of After Effects and import it into Premiere Pro. See this discissuon in AE Forum on some production codecs comparison.
P.S. See also this FAQ: What are the best export settings? entry.

Rendering error using linked sequence in After Effects

When I render out an After Effects Project with a linked sequence from Premiere, There are some frames that don't render. They are "missing media". These are only a few frames and very random. After rendering it out a second time, the missing Premiere frames were somewhere else. I use Media Encoder to render. I had to do a work around and render out the Premiere sequence first, put it into my After Effects Project and then render that again. Can someone help me with this dynamic link issue?
For this project, i have to render in 50fps. I put both my After Effects and Premiere projects to 50fps. But the footage is not. Can that be the problem perhaps?

Hi jstrawn,
no, by render out i mean actually finishing off the project by exporting it to media encoder and rendering out a file. I am in After Effects and the linked sequence is refering to the sequences I made in Premiere Pro.
As far as i know, you can only render and replace an After Effects Comp in Premiere. (vise versa would be great in my case but i couldnt find a render and replace function for premiere sequences in After Effects)
By missing media, i mean the yellow screen you get when Premiere can not find your footage. It happens randomly and it seems as if dynamic link isn't working quite well in this case.
in media encoder i set the rendering settings to QuickTime H.264 codec, 50fps, 1920x1080 and it renders out in .mov. All the comps in AE and Sequences in Premiere are slalso set to these settings.

Premiere Bad Export vs. After Effects Clean Export

I encountered this problem many years ago, but since it accours in every version of Premire Pro it's time to find a solution.
Mainly what bothers me is that every video I export out of Premire CS4 isn't as clean as if I would export it out of After Effects.
I had two situations:
1. I made one animation in After Effects, exported the video in the loosles format to see how it looks and the video looked great and very clean.
Than I imported the after effects composition via dynamic link into Premiere CS4 and put some music underneath. Than I exported the video out of Premiere CS4 with the Media Encoder into some HQ versions like Pal DV, .mov, .h264, Targa sequences...and the video just wasn't as clean as the one exported directly from After Effects.
What is wrong? Is there a Premire encoder bug? I had this problem also with earlier version of Premiere.
2. I shot a film in HDV for a company. I edited the material in Premiere CS4 and since I exported it for 4:3 I scaled the video down. So there were more than enought pixels to make the image clean. But after exporting it out of Premiere CS4 the PAL DV image quality just wasn't clean.
I imported than the entire Premiere sequence into After Effects and exported the video from there and I got a great and clean looking PAL DV video.
Again. Is there a bug in Premiere encoder?
I like Premiere but since I can not get a nice image quality out of it I'm planing to go over to FinalCut Pro.
Does any one have a solution for that problem?
Thank you very much
Agetis

Thanks Jim and Harm!
Jim, I exported the animation in the 1. scenario as a progressive video. There was no interlacing and I still got bad results with Premiere.
Harm, I gathered for you fresh uncompressed image exports from Premiere and After Effects.
Sample 1 - Uncompressed Tiff from Premiere CS4
Sample 2 - Uncompressed Tiff from After Effects CS4
I don't think Encore has anything to do with this problem. Because the DVD (.m2v files) wasn't transcoded with Encore but with Premire and AE.
Anyway here are the DVD settings:
1. Premiere settings for the DVD:
MPEG2-DVD
PAL High Quality
Video Settings:
Quality: 5
Tv Standard: PAL
Frame W: 720
Frame H: 576
FPS: 25
Fields: Lower
Pixel: 4:3 (1.09)
CBR: 8 MB
2. After Effects settings for the DVD:
Are exactly the same as Premieres. Fields are also Lower.
The video in AE was exported via Render Queue.
I still don't think that this is a issue of codecs. From my point of view it's still more likely that Premiere has an export bug.
Please try it out and let me know.
Thanks
Agetis

Is there an replacement to exporting .swf in After Effects CC?

Is there an replacement to exporting .swf in After Effects CC? I created an animation I am using for a app prototype in InDesign. It worked great last year, on another project, but now all I see are Quicktime and other video formats which isn't really the same thing. I need a file that will work with InDesign that can export into HTML. I could make an interactive PDF which will play quicktime but thats not as cool. Any alternatives? Anyway to get After Effects into HTML, short of using Edge instead?

I think I answered my own question. H.264 Video via Media Encoder. Any other comments on best practices welcome.

What are the best setting to export video from after effects to get the best video quality ?

Hi
I am editing a raw time lapse in after effects and also some short video clips I would like to export them from after effects and upload them online afterwards but i get a bit lost in exporting settings and formats and mbps..
What are the best settings to export a video and get best quality(high) in full hd 1080 ? in 4k ? and what would be the best setting to export animations/logo/intro and get best quality ?
Thank you very much.

Thanks for reply !
I used until now quicktime in H264 codec was that OK ?
two more questions :
what are the export settings for 4k files for web/you tube ?
to play on my PC using windows media player or Quicktime player and getting the best quality ?
Thanks in advance.

Having trouble exporting file from After Effects CS5.5

I am trying to add some titles to a Multi Camera mix I have finished. I have exported my multi cam that I created in Premiere Pro as an MPEG.
So hears what I have done:
- open After effects
- create new composition (HD 1080x1440- length 2:16 (so clip fits)
- I place my clip in the time line the type some text.
- in the effects bar I click the roll up and select "Browse Presets" which opens adobe bridge
- I apply my effects and they play back in elements fine...
When I try to export my clip as a Premiere Pro Project it doesnt keep my animated txt when I open it. Says it does not support the presets. his
Con someone please help me export this project? Getting very frustrating. I need it as a High Res HD file

Create the titles in After Effects without the MPEG. (Or if you must use it as a reference, go ahead and do so, and then when you're done creating the title, delete the MPEG.)
Then go back to PP and select File>Dynamic Link>Import After Effects Composition... Navigate to the AE project that has the title, and bring in that composition. It will appear in your bin as a clip. Then you add it to the sequence and export the completed video with titles.

Export quality in After Effects

I'm using After Effects CS4 and have exported as an MPEG-4. The quality of the final movie is very poor. It looks like a low quality JPEG. In After Effects preview, it looks fine.
I'm familiar with exporting quality videos out of Premiere. Is the usual workflow to open AE projects in Premiere and use the options there to export? Or am I missing something in AE?

That may be, but I'm just not a fan. I did some tests a few years ago and decided that Animation
wasn't worth it and that it was in fact creating artifacts in my renders.
Just to show my work, I am pulling some info from wikipedia as a reference:
"For complex 3D rendered scenes or digitized film of real-world footage, it barely compresses at all and also can add visible noise."
Now I know, wikipedia isn't highly reliable, anyone can edit it, blah blah blah, but this statement runs congruent to my own findings. Add to that the weighty file size, and then the fact that this codec is officially my ENEMY because my students, who are instructed to use Sorenson 3, often forget to change the codec for their .mov renders, and so sometimes I get these bloated files that I have to trash and they have to re-render, and I just don't really care for this codec at all.
I just don't render video any more. Haven't for a long time now. So many advantages to using img sequences, I haven't looked back to big bloated video files.

AAF EXPORT OPTION FOR AFTER EFFECTS CC

Hi My name is Marcellus. I use After effects for vex when I import my avid sequence AAF from Media Composer to After effects. Thing is I don't use premiere Pro or Premiere CC. I think that if I have to dynamic link my after effect composition over to premiere creating a new premiere project then exporting my sequence AAF from premiere back to avid it's too much file base creation. May after Effects CC add an AAF export option where it renders the effects in the composition, I can export that workflow as an AAF with effects rendered and import that AAF back into Avid Media composer and link to the timeline like a feature with Davinci resolve?

You're correct. See the Avid to After Effects workflow article. That method is possible but not recommended.

Premiere Degrading Quality (after rendering) of Animation Codec mov's and 4444 Codec mov's, which were made from SWF files, originally exported out of After Effects

I am making a cartoon, which was created in FLASH,
Then the SWF's were put into After Effects and exported out as MOV's. (I've tried both AppleProRes4444 and Animation codecs).
Then I put those Mov's into Premiere. Everything looks crisp until I render. Once rendering is done, the video quality degrades. Here's a screen shot of Premiere:
On the left is the source MOV (exported from AE), on the right is the timeline viewer (after rendering). The quality on the right is degraded. Help?
If I use MP4 versions, exported out of Flash, through Media encoder, quality is not degraded.
(Read on for additional info)
It was easy and quick to create my MOV's out of AE, which is why I did it this way. I'm exporting to MOV's so I can edit quicker in Premiere. I find editing to sound in AE really difficult, and I don't edit in Flash (employees provide SWF files to me).
Here is sequence settings in Premiere (these setting were created by dragging an MOV into the sequence and choosing "change settings" to match clip settings.
Help? Please?

Importing a Premiere Pro Sequence into After Effects Crashes After Effects

Hello,
I'm on a Quad Core Mac, 2.8GHZ with 6GB of Ram.
I have a Premeire Pro project with varying MOV and MP4 files; from a DSLR and from a Sony EX-1 camera. This project has lots of media, over 3 TBs, and each and every time I try to import it into After Effects-After Effects crashes and does not respond.
Please help.
Thanks

Don't try and do a whole movie in AE. After Effects is for making shots or short sequences. Break up the projects. Organize. 3TB of source materials into AE's Project folder means linking, analyzing, interpreting, and generating previews for enough material to shoot a feature film. Bring in the shots you're working on, not the entire movie. If you need to do an entire movie, break that up to Scenes and make each scene a separate project.
Terabytes of data would also choke Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, Avid, or any other NLE if it was dumped in all at once. The only reason that a NLE can handle that much data is that there were some caches created when the footage was imported.

Importing PNG sequence from After Effects (or anywhere)

From some reason when I'm importing a PNG sequence onto stage, it's loading all of the PNGs into one frame instead of distributing them into their own keyframes like it's supposed to.
I've seen this problem posted before. Anybody have a solution for this?
I've also seen that people have posted that Flash CS3 HATES After Effects PNGs....how bizarre....I'm starting to figure that out.
Any solutions?

Well now it's working. Hmmmm.Thanks Jim.
Well, there's something you can do that accidently stacks them into one frame.....I guess I get one brain-fart per month....and I just used my quota.

Offline/Missing Image Sequences in After Effects CS6 with Color Bars

I am working on a stop motion animation in After Effects CS6. Each clip has been imported as an image sequence from stills on my hard drive. When I open up After Effects, all image sequences now have color bars over them, as if they are offline. Trying to reload them does nothing. I cannot 'link media' because it isn't just one file; it's an image sequence so there are many of them.
I first noticed this when the color bars appeared in my dynamically linked comps inside of Premiere Pro. Everything played smoothly the first time I opened the project in Premiere CS6, after originating in CS5.5. Then the second time I opened up Premiere, the color bars appeared on the linked comps. I hadn't yet opened up my AE project in CS6 yet, so when I did, AE converted the project and I resaved it.
Any help related to this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone, I think I'm beginning to solve this.
Rick, thanks for your advice. I tried this and it worked. The reason I didn't do this before is that, because it is stop motion, I couldn't remember how many frames I had imported for each sequence. For instance, if I shot 54 images and only imported 52 into the sequence, I wouldn't remember which 52 images to import...this might still be causing a problem, but I don't know yet. I think in most cases I imported all the images in a folder, so the image sequences should be fine.
I am having another problem, however. Even though the issue seems to be fixed in AE, it doesn't seem to be fixed in Premiere...each image sequence is dynamically linked from AE, but each dynamically linked comp is still being show with color bars as they did in AE...I think that maybe my Premiere project is still linking to the old CS5.5 AE project, and not the new one opened and saved in CS6...

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.

Importing Sequences from After Effects CC 2014 into Premiere

Before the update to cc 2014, I was easily able to import After Effects comps into Premiere using "Import" in Premiere. I would select an AE project to import, and it would ask me which sequences inside that project I wanted to import. Worked perfectly. This was just a couple weeks ago.
NOW, I go to import sequences from an AE project and it only shows ONE sequence out of however many I may have. This has happened twice so far. Quitting & reopening both programs didn't do anything. Has something changed with the update?
