Working between Premiere Pro and After Effects
Different ways of transferring your project from Premiere Pro to After Effects.
1.Export the Premiere project as an Quicktime file format with the Video Codec as 'Animation' (Massive File Size) or as 'PNG' (Good Size File)
2.Select the required files from your composition, Right click and select 'Replace With After Effects Composition' and select where you want to save the After Effects project file. (This Method locks all the clips together into one track so you can't edit them again in Premiere Pro)
3.Hold 'Alt' and drag the required clips up one track to duplicate them, then right click the duplicates and select 'Replace With After Effects Composition' (This will allow you to still have access to the original clips in your Premiere Composition)
- Doing methods 2/3 will remove any effects that you have added to the clips in Premiere!
4.In Premiere Pro, go to the 'Project Browser' and drag the Composition file to After Effects (This will create a copy of your composition as if you were exporting it and importing it to After Effects and will create your project on one single track)
- This is the most effective and best method to use.

Research and Understanding Mattes and Matte painting
Matte Paintings Research
Matte paintings ate painted landscapes, Set or non-existent environments. These paintings allow the filmmakers to create a false sense of location in which would be hard to build, visit or film in due to tight budget funds normally found when creating a film. even today with Blockbuster film budgets over $250 million
In the past, matte painters and film technicians have used a range of different techniques to combine the painted image with the live footage. The effect created by this is therefore a seamless and flowing clip.
Matte paintings were originally and traditionally made using paints and pastels on large sheets of glass. As far as known, the first known matte paintings were shown and used in 1907.
Traditional matte paintings were used in the wizard of Oz (The emerald city), Citizen Kane (Kane's Xanadu) and Star wars episode IV: a new hope (Tractor beam set.)
In the 1980s however, technology started to take off with the growing speed of computer graphic programmes and as a result, matte paintings were therefore normally made digitally. As far as we know, Die Hard 2: Die Harder was the first film to use digitally composite footage.
Matte paintings are used these days to cut down on the filming cost or the location being to expensive of impossible to photograph live.
