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.

    As for anything else giving me issues I haven't noticed anything besides a previous Graphics Card wasn't supported very well at all with 3ds Max, it would freeze while using the material editor which was fixed with replacing a GTX550 ti with a more compatible GTX480. Thought maybe the upgrade would also solve the fact that almost everytime I go to start up and/or use After Effects or Premiere Pro CS5 my whole system freezes. Whether or not I'm doing anything, it occasionally happened during "Scrubbing" the timeline, but also during the splash load up screen. Would take the time to wait for several minutes but nothing would change. Hard reboot was needed. After countless hours of searching online I stumbled upon what is called an "Unlock" for Premiere Pro/After Effects to allow accelerated GPU and CUDA cores. Simple procedure, seems as if things go faster... When it is working. But still, I encounter freezes on my entire system. It isn't a crash back to Windows or anytihng. Just a complete freeze on the entire system. I have not extensively used other Adobe programs besides Photoshop quite briefly just so I could open menus and force a freeze within 5 minutes and noticed nothing wrong. Which in AE & PP just running through any of the menu windows can quickly cause a sudden freeze.
    note* I have alternated shutting off and turning on OpenGL as well as multiprocessing. Doesn't matter, it really doesn't seem to change much of anything.
    Alas, I am absolutely sure, after checking and re-checking 80+ hours over the past 2 weeks that yes, everything is updated as far as each individual program, software or hardware will allow me to update them. I have reinstalled Windows as well as each program up to 3 times, and 1 system (restore?) I had Windows dump everything, started from scratch, backed up nothing. To reinstall everything from scratch, while not installed several "Utilities" or software components from stuff like the Motherboard and its XFAST USB/LAN or whatever, thinking maybe it was cluttering up anything.
    Please, if anyone has any ideas upon this and could give me advice, whether you notice any other incompatibilities or anything. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
    note* I do not have a wired Keyboard or mouse to disable the USB plugin and attempt that route.. at least not yet, its on my list of things to do. Also, I did run Memtest86+ during a boot and it claims that everything there had passed 100%. I am not "overclocking" anything either. I just wanted something I could work smoothly on, that would have decent rendering capabilities. I used to use my girls' laptop which was an HP with 3GB RAM and never experienced crashes or freezes and I could use AE, PPro, 3ds Max with some lag but not any issues. Rendering took forever on it, but I usually avoided that 'cuz it would start heating up pretty fierce. Saved my rendering for school computers where I could. But either way, now I have this expensive piece and it is getting frustrating that I cannot work on it.
    note* Also, incase it does help, I have Windows as well as any major components installed onto the C: drive (aka SSD for my system) while all my secondary software, such as Adobe, Autodesk, etc. are all installed directly to my D: drive (or HDD) And everything is set up to go through Windows Firewall as well.

    Thanks all. I have just tried a few things, installing them onto the C drive as you all specified as not being one of them. I can understand it, but at the same time i have a classmate who has their software on a seperate drive and it runs smoothe. I'm on my second GPU in 2 weeks, unless I have terrible luck it seems doubtful being that I can run games and a majority of the software no problem. Through further testing around with a corded mouse and keyboard I've noticed the following...
    The computer freezes entirely only when I'm performing a "scrubbing" action or using a mouse. Left clicking, scrolling, or moving it around. Otherwise if I do not use the mouse and I make all my actions, such as "scrubbing" in AE via "Page Up & Down" keys, there's no freeze and it preloads the preview no problem.
    "Scrubbing" does not load a preview (the green bar doesn't load at all while scrubbing). But, also noticed no matter how smoothe everything is running in 3ds Max as well as PPro, once I start performing a "scrubbing" action with whatever timeline I use, it will definately freeze my whole computer, Windows and all. Hard reboot is neeed.
    With having gone through 2 GPU's, done a full memtest via Windows 7 and Memtest86+, there seems to be no issue with my memory or GPU. Like I said, I've run UDK without an issue. Whether the editor or game. The USB doesn't seem like it's the cause, I've used both wireless as well as wired keyboards/mouse. Still freezes, but now only when using a mouse to "Scrub".
    Is it possible my motherboard could be incompatible somewhere? I mean, really.. everything is brand new but 2 weeks of troubleshooting.
    And I do plan on trying to run my software off the C drive, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something else, like I said, I've seen and used a computer where it all runs off the D drive and it runs perfectly, actually better on his computer than off the C drive at my schools. So if it is an issue would it lie within the fact that I'm using an Nvidia GPU? Considering my classmate is using a AMD/ATI Radeon or something like that.
    Again, to those who replied, your shared knowledge is greatly appreciated, thank you.

  • Use After Effects and Premiere Pro CS4 with Creative Cloud license

    I have a one-year license for Creative Cloud, but because I have a 32-bit version of Windows 7, I can't use After Effects and Premiere Pro. On the website I read that for users with a 32bit OS it is possible to use AE and PP CS4 with the CC license. But I can't find a way to download CS4 with my Creative Cloud account. Can anybody help me with this? Is it possible to download CS4 with a CC license?

    I have marked the remark in red. It says: "If you want to use the Windows XP supported After Effects or Adobe Premiere Pro, you have to download the CS-4-versions of the software with your Creative Cloud Membership. U can also use these versions with a 32-bit Windows Operating System."

  • 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.

  • 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....

  • 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.

  • Can i use After Effects with FC4?! And how?

    Hello! For a while i thought you could not use Adobe after effects with Final express...but i was wondering again if i can use it, and if i can, how do i use it with FCE?? Thanks!

    Well after AE, i can continue editing it in final cut? Or once i use it in AE, it is too late to put the sequence or scene back into FCE?
    I guess an example would be that if i just want one scene or one sequence from final cut to be used in AE, i would export that sequence as a QT movie? Then how do i put it back into Final Cut once it is done with AE?

  • Using after effects inside premiere pro

    I have the cs3 production pack and word on the street is that it is user friendly between different programs, but I am having problems using after effects inside premiere -for example I am in premiere and have a clip on my time line that I want to add some glow or rain to -so I copy the clip and bring it into premiere and I am not able to past it even though I have a file set up -if somebody can shed some light on this for me it would be great -I can't seem to grasp the program interchangeable feature thanks

  • Finder causes After Effects and Premiere Pro CS5 to crash

    Basically when attempting to import files into either After Effects or Premiere Pro the Finder causes them to crash.  I'm not sure
    if it's the Movies folder specifically thats causing it, but I'm unable to find out for sure because the Movies folder is the default
    folder that comes up when I try to import.  Any ideas here? I'm stumped.

    What version of MacOS are you running?
    If you are on Snow Leopard, you need to be on 10.6.2 or later.

  • 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.
    see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3196845#3196845

  • [Tips]After Effects CS6のプロジェクトをPremiere Pro CS5.5で利用する方法

    After Effects　CS6で作成したプロジェクトファイルは、一つ前のバージョン(CS5.5）の形式で保存することができます。
    After Effects CS6のファイルメニュー／名前を付けて保存＞「CS5.5 形式でコピーを保存する」を選択して保存します。
    Premiere Pro とAfter Effectsが同一バージョンであれば、DynamicLink機能が有効ですので、このCS5.5形式で保存されたファイルをPremiere Pro CS5.5からDynamic Linkで読み込み、利用することが可能となります。
    ※ただし、CS6固有の機能を利用されている場合は、CS5.5形式保存時に無視されます。

    I already read this but it just solved the probs with premiere.
    The Problem in this case was that (so told me the german adobe support hotline) CS5 ist not working with mobile versions of the nvidia quadro 8in this case quadro fx 2500m).
    I solved the prolbem by modifying a non-mobile driver. Now, some energy-saving features won't work anymore and it ist not an "offical solution" and it ist on my own risc of course, but it works well so far.
    Just follow the steps posted in that link

  • 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.
