Exporting edited PE9 files into After Effects?

Is it possible to import edited Premiere Elements 9 files into After Effects to apply effects?
Thanks in advance

Steve,
I respectfully disagree on this point.
You can put an  uncompressed AVI into Premiere Elements and output an uncompressed AVI from Premiere Elements -- but the video is compressed a DV while it's in the program so there's no way to avoid the issue of compression
If one starts with DV-AVI, there is slight lossy compression, but PrE is natively editing that DV-AVI footage. Now, if one Exports/Shares to DV-AVI, again there is a slight lossy compression, but if they Export/Share to Lagarith, or UT, there is no loss, though there is compression. AE can work with the lossless material fine, so no need for it to re-compress, and no need to introduce loss. When one Exports from AE (no ADL - Adobe Dynamic Link between AE & PrE), again with a lossless CODEC, that IS turned into DV-AVI, when back in PrE, but two levels of lossy compression have been eliminated from the workflow, and eliminating any compression that is lossy is my goal for ultimate quality.
The beauty of Lagarith, or UT, is that the files are much smaller, than with AVI Uncompressed, so other than the encoding porttion of the workflow (both CODEC's are quite fast), the resources needed are greatly reduced.
An extreme example of the use of compressed material is where one produces a DVD (MPEG-2 CODEC, which IS highly-compressed), and then uses that compressed material in a new Project, outputting again to MPEG-2 for a DVD. If one can go to the material, before the first MPEG-2 Encoding, thus saving one level of compression, the qualtiy is much better. Again, this is an extreme example, and the DV/DVC CODEC in a DV-AVI is no where nearly so bad, as with MPEG-2.
Are the extra steps worth the effort? Only the user can determine that.
Just my observations, when creating and editing intermediate files. For me, the advantage outweighs the encoding time, as quality is as high, as I can obtain.

  • How do I import a Premiere Pro file into After Effects

    So I'm an editor, I cut trailers and TV spots. I enjoy making my title cards on After Effects because it gives me a lot of options but I'm having difficulty. How do I import / edit a Premiere Pro file into After Effects? I imported the project file but the whole thing was a mess and nothing made sense. Can anyone explain this process to me?
    By the way I used CS5.5 versions of the software.

    It actually works better if you go the other way... link an AE comp into your Premiere project.
    Create and link to After Effects compositions with Dynamic Link

  • Bridge not importing files into After Effects

    From AE I go to File > Browse in Bridge...
    Bridge opens up and I find the file I want.  If I double click the file, an AI for instance, it opens the file within Illustrator.  I could find, double click it, and it opens in Photoshop.
    I feel as though I'm missing how to import files into After Effects by using bridge.
    I'm running CC 2014 on a Win 7 machine.

    Probably an issue with whatever created the files in the first place. WMV doesn't have Alpha, but can have multiple streams... anyway, AE is crap at dealing with such stuff, so convert it using an external tool like Handbrake or whatever...

  • .AVI files into after effects do not work? how do I fix?

    When I record with my vivitar dvr 840xhd camera, and try to import the files into after effects. The files import into after effects just fine, except the little icon of the video is all grey. But when I put it into the comp and try to view it. The whole video is only a black screen. I try to watch it and find out that the audio works in it. but not the video. Throwing it into media encoder and trying to convert it only does the same thing, just a black screen with audio. But when I play the file on windows media player it works just fine. I have After effects CS5 and I run windows 7. Anyone have any good anwsers? Perferably one that does not reqire another program video converter to put it into the file type I. I tryed that before with many other video converters. I either loose quaility. If im filming in 60fps, it is reduced to 30fps. I can only convert so much in one clip. And most leave watermarks. I would much rather be able to import these .avi files into after effects without the wait and annoyance of a 3rd party program. Thanks for the help.

    Anyone have any good anwsers? Perferably one that does not reqire another program video converter to put it into the file type
    Probably not. AVI is just a generic container format and without any more info we will not be able to give you any proper answers. Even their website doesn't give any specifics. Use GSpot or MediaInfo to find out what CoDecs it is using exactly. Since the camera is based on Flash memory, though, I already get this ugly feeling it is using some atrocious non-standard MPEG4 derivative nad that would mean there is no chance at all to use it directly in AE...

  • .OBJ files into After Effects

    I loaded this .obj file into After Effects and animated some particles around it. I rendered a short sample to see how it would look and it came out like the 2nd picture. Zoomed in.
    What did I do wrong? I can't understand why it came out so zoomed in. I didn't even finish with the letters and animations now, concerned that it won't look right after rendering.
    Any tips would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
    PS: This is how the logo REALLY looks, but so far I've been unable to use this beautiful 3D model in any other program.

    Element 3D is the best way to bring 3D .obj files into After Effects.

  • I need help with Importing my Illustrator file into After Effects, I'm having problems

    Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum. I am having a hard time importing this Illustrator file into After Effects. Here's how it is in the Illustrator file
    As you can see, I made all the layers separate so then when I import it I can work on each and every one.  (I want them to bloom from the center)
    but when I import to After Effects (I ask to import the composition and retain the layers), the size looks completely different:
    Then when I drag down the layers folder to the Comp Panel, the layer order starts getting really messed up. Here is what I am talking about
    What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it? Also how can I figure out how to let the petals boom? I'm thinking of scaling the center larger first and then scaling the petals from there. but first I have to figure out how to get the size distortion and the layer orders right. Thanks.

    You need to open the comp not drag layers in a new comp.

  • Best export format for importing into After Effects or even back into Premiere

    Please look at this video, work in progress.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49_wbdKALQk
    The opening, featuring a ribbon of videos, was created in After Effects, using Digieffects Freeform.
    The  issue is the poor quality of the videos that are featured in the  opening -- compared to the high quality of videos from the original Premiere  project., which you can see at the end of the clip.
    To create the After Effects project, I exported a series of video clips from Premiere  to mp4.
    Then I imported them into AfterEffects.
    The bottom line, and the purpose of this question, is I am thinking that  MP4 was not the best choice for the Adobe Premiere export.
    What  is the best format to export video from in Premiere Pro CS5 to import  into after effects, or to import into any other editing program,  incuding importing right back into Adobe Premiere, if that is eever  needed.
    AVI?
    MOV
    MP4
    And any other settings that will result with the highest qualiity videos for importing.
    Thanks

    Okay, here's where I stand at this point regarding exporting and/or dynamic linking between AfterEffects and Premiere.
    I'm in After Effects.  I create a composition I like.  So I first tried the old fashioned way. I exported it into a MOV file with the animation preset. Millions of colors.  Same frame rate as my Premiere project, which also uses MOV files with no problem.
    Howver when I import the MOV file created by After effects, the NEW MOV file section of the premier project plays sluggish.  And it also causes the videos that follow to play sluggish.   And they are all MOV files at the same frame rate.
    The same thing happens when I do a dynamic link between the two projects.  A sluggish response starting with the After Effects dynamic link and affecting the MOV video files that follow.
    It's a very short After Effects composition.  About 3 second slong.
    I have a very powerful computer built especially for CS5 and premiere --so that should not be an issue -- recently was in the top ten of the benchmark list.
    Up to this point my video files have played perfectly layer upon layer with no problems.
    Is there something I am not considering?
    Thanks.

  • Can you still import a 3D photoshop file into After Effects to edit in 3D? (not getting the Live Photoshop 3D choice?)

    trying to import a 3d photoshop file into ae, but it is not coming through as a 3D file despite the hundreds of videos that I have watched on it. I am not getting the live photoshop 3d tick box as an option on import...help!!!

    No, these features have been removed since CS6.

  • Can't import any .psd files into after effects.

    Hello all.
    I was using CS5 master collection without issue, for a year. 
    Decided to upgrade to the CS6 master collection and that’s when the problems began.
    For example, I can’t import any .psd files into AE.
    All files are saved in RGB mode.
    The previous files were made on CS5.
    I made a new .psd file in CS6 with just a couple of layers on it, couldn’t import that either.
    I’ve tried Ctrl-alt-shift to delete preferences, that had limited success. I can import a file and do a little bit of work on it but as soon as I close the file down and opened it up again, it does not recognise the .psd file.
    The errors I’m getting in AE are many
    For example:
    After Effects warning: Reading past end of file
    After Effects error: Could not open intro.psd because it is not a valid Photoshop document
    After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message:<8104><dynamiclink><5>C:\ProgramFiles\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS6\Adobe Premiere Pro exe
    After Effects error: Not enough memory to initialise PSL
    I have un-installed and re-installed many times.
    I’m using Windows 8, with 32ram. Hard drives C: 100mg, D: 2 Tb
    I’ve tried installing on both drives, still the same thing happens. 
    Does anyone out there in Adobe Land have any ideas?
    Totally confused
    Cheers,
    Gary.

    Hi Arie,
    Thanks for your response.
    It actually happens with every .psd file regardless of size or specs.
    All the other programs in the CS6 master collection work fine, except for AE and PS.
    I tried the small file. Created a small file, 100 px by 100px 72dpi, just with a gradient background. Same thing, not enough memory to initialise PSL.
    I got the adobe cleaner, and re-installed on my system (again) .... same thing.
    As long as I open AE with doing ctrl-alt-shift every single time or export layers from PS individually I seem to be OK.
    The problem is far from solved, so I guess i just have to put up with workarounds.
    Thanks for taking the time to respond

  • How to create editable .mov files from After Effects

    Hi,
    I am creating videos for my clients using after effects.
    The requirment is that they should be able to edit the .mov files e.g adding their company name, text or logo without using after effects without losing any effects.
    How can I accomplish this?
    Thanks....

    Editing video is not possible with Photoshop Elements.
    Photoshop Elements is for photo editing
    In order to edit videos , you should use Premiere Elements or Premiere Pro
    However, Adobe does offer a combined package of Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements, which might work perfectly for someone who just needs the most basic tools for editing both photos and video.

  • Export 720x1280 flv file from after effect

    Hi
    I made a verticle 720x1280 24fps composition in after effect and i need to render the flv file. But when i render flv its automatic resize the file to 720x1080.
    how can i render the 720X1280 flv file. I need the flv file because i need to play it in digital signage software that only accept flv file.
    Thanks
    Hassan T.

    Some formats are very particular about frame size. It's built in. Nothing you can do about it except follow the advice to always use the presets for AE comps unless you know exactly what you are doing. Your vertical file is a non standard FLV file size. Simple as that.
    If you are going to use the rendered movie in a Flash project I'd suggest that you embed an h.264 file. Use the AME (Adobe Media Encoder) to render the file. It won't matter if the file is vertical or horizontal, but FLV files will always be resized. I would even go farther than that and use HTML 5 and Javascript so your project would be mobile compatible.

  • Trying to import boujou .ma tracking data into after effects, seems like it doesn't support the file.

    I have tried everything to try and get this to work; i have tried multiple settings in boujou, i have imported the .ma file into maya and exported with baked keyframes and only the camera selected etc. I don't know what i'm doing wrong. I am wondering whether Adobe has cut support for .ma files altogether, which is a real pain in my *** as the built in 3d track just isn't good enough. I have tried dragging the file into after effects, i have tried importing it neither of which do anything. The .ma files don't even show up, i have to select 'all files' under the file type when i choose import to even see the files, and when i click them it doesn't recognize it as tracking data, it'll try and import it as a .PNG file or something. I can't seem to find any plugins that would enable me to import .ma files. I just need that tracking data as a Camera in my scene and i don't care how it is done. Additionally, i have tried exporting as a .txt file and copying and pasting that data into a camera, which doesn't work (unless im doing it completely wrong).
    Thankyou for reading

    I also experience this problem. My mp4 clips has been taken with a Samsung NV24HD camera and are HD (720p). I haven't tried to convert these clips but I think it should not be necessary since I can play them in quick time. However I have perian installed, perhaps that's why they play in quick time? The next question is then: Is there a similar plugin to iMovie?

  • Importing .AI file (multiple artboards) into After Effects imports all layers?

    Okay, so I've been trying to figure out this issue that I am having but the problem is a bit wordy to explain.
    What I want to do: Import an Illustrator file, that is a single artboard from a multiple artboard file into After Effects and ONLY import the layers from that artboard.
    What is happening: Artboard 1 with shape 1, artboard 2 with shape 2, and artboard 3 with shape 3. When I export them (Save as --> .ai --> Save each artboard as a separate file), in .ai the layers are correct (ie only shape 1 on artboard 1), but when I import the .ai into AE, artboard 1 has shape 1, shape 2 and shape 3 (they are all separate layers).
    How does Illustrator determine what is or isn't in an artboard? I am seeing the other layers but they are only 1x1 in AE.
    I am using Illustrator CS6 and AE CS6 and I've tried it both on Mac and PC, and haven't gotten it to work. The weird thing is that it WAS working correctly before.

    I have (hypothetically), a three layer file each with a rectangle. Each rectangle is on a separate artboard. When I save each artboard as a separate .ai file (ie "Save as --> save each artboard as separate file"), in each .ai file, only the layers in each artboard are in the separate ai files:
    artboard_01.ai only has layer with rect 1,
    artboard_02.ai only has layer with rect 2,
    artboard_03.ai only has layer with rect 3,
    This is good, BUT when I import into After Effects, all three layers appear in each comp generated from the imported .ai files
    comp of artboard_01.ai has layer with rect 1, layer for rect 2 (no content), and layer for rect 3 (no content).
    comp of artboard_02.ai has layer with rect 1(no content), layer for rect 2, and layer for rect 3 (no content).
    comp of artboard_03.ai has layer with rect 1(no content), layer for rect 2 (no content), and layer for rect 3.

  • Cannot import .mov files (from JVC HM100) into After Effects CS6

    Hi,
    I am trying to import .mov files into After Effects CS6.  Unfortunately, when I try to import the .mov files, AE tells me "After Effects error: 210_0001_01.mov cannot be imported -- this '.mov' file is damaged or unsupported."  The file works in Premiere CS6.   I have the latest Quicktime, and even with Quicktime 7 Pro installed, I got that same result.  I would appreciate any advice on this problem.
    Thank you.

    I'm going to set up a new sequence with just the clip I'm using after effects on.  I'm going to import that sequence into AE.
    Your footage is currently a long-gop codec, which may be giving Mocha fits.  So instead of Dynamic Link, you may want to simply export the clip in question from Premiere using a lossless codec.  Remember to leave handles on the footage.
    To get back to Premiere you would then render in a lossless codec.  It's not very handy, but it will get the job done. 
    Give it a try and see what happens.

  • Importing Motion 2 into After Effects 7

    Is it my imagination and/or lack of knowledge, or does AE7 not allow for the import of Motion 2 (with .motn or .mov as the extension)? I've tried it every way I can think of (based on the previous posts here about getting Motion 2 into AE6.5) and I can't get it to work.
    Anyone else know for certain if this functionality is now broken?

    I'm basing my question off of this info (as found at http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/motion/):
    "Integrated Workflow
    You can now use Motion in conjunction with Adobe After Effects. All of the particle effects, Replicator designs and animations in Motion can be added to an After Effects “comp” without rendering. Making a change is as simple as selecting “Open in Editor” from the After Effects edit menu."
    And clicking on the "Features" link at the top of that same page leads to:
    "In fact, Motion gets along so splendidly with Adobe After Effects that you can drag and drop project files into the latter or launch Motion from within After Effects."
    Clicking further on the "Adobe After Effects Integration" link at the bottom of the "Features" page leads to this quote:
    "You can also work hand-in-hand with Adobe After Effects. Drag and drop your native Motion 2 project files into After Effects 6.5 without rendering. To make a change, simply launch Motion from within After Effects; the changes you make will automatically update in your After Effects composition. And those who normally use After Effects can now easily access the intuitive particle creation, elegant Replicator designs and drag-and-drop procedural animation found in Motion 2."
    I'm looking to be able to use this functionality with Motion 2 and After Effects 7. I'd prefer to remove the step of exporting .mov files out of Motion projects when I could possibly just import or drag/drop a native Motion 2 file right into After Effects 7 without rendering, as Apple states became possible in version 2.
    Right now, when I attempt to do so with AE7, I get an error message that reads:
    "After Effects error: retrieving movie from file "File Name" -- no QuickTime movie found (-2048).
    ( 10 :: 21 )"
    That's when I try using the .motn and .mov extension. I'm guessing that Apple will have to alter the way Motion files are read as Quicktime files in order to get After Effects to recognize them as version 6.5 did.
    Is this not correct?
