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.
