Hi Rick. I can’t thank you enough for your very thoughtful and helpful reply. You are definitely right, I should be using Premiere Pro as my editing app. I’ve totally resisted learning Premiere Pro, and your reply is an important wake up call. I am the author of a book that is soon to be in it’s 10th edition. It’s used in a number of college sex-ed courses. I’ve pretty much lived in InDesign since it was in v. 1.0. I had never even opened a video app until recently. But now that that YouTube has become the source of all wisdom for most people under 25, and for many of us over 25, I decided three years ago to learn After Effects because I saw a cool looking video that someone said had been done in a program called "After Effects" that I’d never even heard of. So at the age of 64, I started to learn Adobe After Effects—taking Udemy course after Udemy course. It was quite a challenge to wrap my brain around 30 frames a second in color after a lifetime of black and white print on paper. Three years later, here are some of the videos I’ve done totally in AE that college instructors show in their classes and say lead to very productive discussions: https://youtu.be/gGNdEz6iVd4 https://youtu.be/1UgKtSjUwlY I haven’t learned Premiere Pro because I didn’t want to have to learn yet another app. But now that so many college courses are going online due to Covid-19, some instructors have asked that I do more videos that they can have their students watch. And I think you are 100% right, I better learn to use Premier Pro. (It’s scary to hear myself say this, but I’m getting tired of having to learn new things. However, at no time have I so truly understood the importance of the saying “Grow or die.” So I will start my first course on Premiere Pro this afternoon thanks to your reply to my question.) Thanks again. One last question: what export settings would you use in AE for handing off clips into Premiere Pro? Or maybe that’s a dumb question whose answer will be apparent once I dive into Premiere Pro.
