How to export clips to After Effects for Compositing

I want to export clips from my timeline into After Effects to add some compositing of clouds and sky replacement.
FCP 7
AE CS5
OS 10.6.8
I dragged the clips from my timeline back into the Browser into a new bin but when I export from there, the dimensions aren't the same as my project.
My project is 1920x1080 and when I export the edited (spliced) clips from the browser, they're 720.
I don't want to go into my raw files and try and eyball where I spliced the clips b/c each video file is about 2 gigs and I'm only using a small section of each clip.
Any suggestions on how to do this?

It is much easier just to use Automatic Duck's Pro Import AE which will allow you to send your timeline to AE.
AE will use the existing media that is called for by the FC timeline, you don't have to copy/export the media files.
Used to cost several hundred dollars, now FREE as the creator has gone to work for Adobe.

P.S. The site says it is compatible up to CS5.5 which was current when development was stopped, but I use it in CS6 with no problem.

  • How to export clips to be used for multi-angle video DVDs??

    I've read all the posts here that I can find but I'm still coming up empty. I have three clips, one a multiangle clip and then the two source clips that went into making it. All three have the same in and out points marked and the same duration and I've gone to compressor and qued all three up before submitting, with all the same video settings. But I still can't get all three to work. Only the two source videos go together. It keeps telling me that "The Video Asset 'X' is only usable up to XXXXXX" and asks me if I want to use it anyway. If I say no, then it tells me that there was an incompatible GOP structure. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? I am this close to literally banging my head against the table in my attempts to figure this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    When working with multi angle or mixed angle, the alternate sequences must have the exact same GOP structure each... this means that when the encoder converts them to MPEG that 'I' frames are in exactly the same position for all three pieces.
    Typically, a cut in your FCP timeline will force the encoder to place an 'I' frame, which then means that ALL the clips need to have the same cut. Additionally, ALL alternate sections need to be the same length (to the frame).
    There is much debate about the differences between VBR and CBR encoding. I have had nothing but trouble with VBR and multi-angle... so use CBR. Also, I am one of the first to say don't use DVDSP to act as your encoder, however for mixed or multi-angle work it seems to produce a more reliable result in terms of GOP structure (sigh... ).
    In short, use an encoder that doesn't employ scene detection , use CBR and make sure all sections are the right length.
    How did you encode this footage to begin with?

  • No audio in export ONLY during after effects clip

    Hi,
    I threw together a premiere project and sent a couple of the clips to after effects to add some animations.
    Upon re-inserting the clips into premiere pro and exporting them, I have no sound... but ONLY on the portions of the video that have data from after effects. 
    Any ideas?
    --Trav

    Premiere Pro CS6,
    My footage is AVCHD 1080p MTS files taken from a Sony FS100.
    I am attempting to export via media encoder using the 1080p 29.97 FPS YouTube Setting. 
    There is audio in the timeline, there is no audio in the export.

    Thanks in advance.

  • 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

  • How to disable openGL in after effects cs6?

    I have posted a previous discussion, but I don't know why, no one is answering me and it's really annoying. Please, please, please, I can't wait anymore, tell me how to disable openGL in after effects cs6
    windows 7 SP1 64 bit, ati radeon 5570, 6 Go ram, 4 core processor 2.8 GHz, creative x fi sound blaster.

    This is the other discussion: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4518765#4518765
    I've tried to lower the quality, and with pure magic, it now works, even when I put highest quality. I don't understand what happened. I asked you how to disable openGL because they told me to in the last discussion. So, thank you for repairing my problem (I think you repaired it, i'll make tests to see). Just in case, could you verify if it's posible to disable openGL like the other person told me?

  • 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.

  • Trying to get a version of After Effects for my Mac, I have the student version of CS6 and it's not included on there

    I need only After Effects for class, but I don't want to buy a whole CC membership just to get one program. I already have most of the programs included in the CC anyway, just the student versions of them, and they're CS6, but that doesn't really bother me. My question is, what are my options to get my hands on After Effects?? I need to figure out something by Wednesday, when I have class next. Thanks!

    Well, per the Adobe website, After Effects CS6 for Students is only available via a Suite
    Creative Suite 6
    Or US$999 for the non-Student version of After Effects CS6 alone
    Creative Suite 6
    Both those options are expensive compared to the Cloud options and give you only outdated - 3 year old - software.
    All Cloud plans give you access to 3 independent versions: CS6, CC and CC 2014, so your Cloud options:
    There are no Single App Student versions, so your only other Student option is to subscribe to the Cloud Complete Plan for Students and Teachers @ US$19.99/month (requires 12 month commitment - so US$240 all up).
    Or Single App After Effects (non-Student) for US$19.99/month - not much point since you can get the full Cloud Student and Teacher version for the same price
    Creative Cloud pricing and membership plans | Adobe Creative Cloud
    Financially, the Full Cloud Student and Teacher option seems to offer the best value for you. Just remember that you're only ever renting the software. You never own it.

    Without proper system information and an exact description of what you actually did nobody can say anything. Sorry, but "I believe..." is just not particularly meaningful, especially since you mentioned that you had issues, which you also haven't explained.

    There are lots of ways in After Effects to resize things, including using the Scale property that is on every layer or using the Detail-preserving Upscale effect.
