How Can I Get Files from a Begun Sequence in After Effects, then into Premiere?

Hello all!

 

New to this community. I am usually working with music production softwares.

 

Anyway, I started lining up clips in After Effects, but the project is too big to use After Effects alone. How do I put all these renamed files, which I began to edit and line up, and make them clips, then into Pr? Importing from within Pr seems to only allow me to use items from the Library of Ae...rather than the items I brought from library into sequence of layeres. How do I take the initiated clips from the Ae Sequence in order to use in Pr? I will still need to be able to adjust the fades, which you can see in my Ae sequencer, as well as also still being able to edit text/colors from each slide?

 

I hope someone understands this and is willing to help.

I use the terms slides from PowerPoint experience & sequencer from audio production experience.

 

Thank you much!

Wow, very cool! You really know your stuff. 

 

I will go ahead and try to use the Essential Graphics Panel with created .mogrt file

 

Is Precomposing generally for layers/groups of layers which were made/edited in the Ae layer sequencer in order to use now/later in Ae?

 

The whole scenario is that I had licensed a video of primarily textbased slides via Envato, in order to have a template where I could place my own copyrighted song lyrics. This video of textbased slides seems to have been created strictly using After Effects. Not sure how the visual content creator was able to have an entire project of both layers and music, without the constant loading/lagging which I face between every slide of layers (even at 1/4 resolution). Unless they just created a few individual slides at a time...or perhaps possibly practiced with an .mp3 file instead of a .wav or something. I definitely desire to keep my mastered .wav file in the whole mix. of things. After all of this, I feel that learning and appreciating both programs, hand in hand, can be very beneficial anyway. Attached is a preview of the original template which I had licensed in order to incorporate my own copyrighted music and lyrics.

 

Thank you tremendously for your help!


Ah yeah, that's not going to translate in Premiere. You're going to have to edit it in After Effects. 

 

The loading sucks but that's the reality of After Effets, it's a resource hog. Working in quarter resolution can help, you can also try skipping every other frame during playback by setting the Skip to 1 in the Preview window (this will not affect your export, it's just to help speed up previewing stuff in AE). 

 

Your wav file wouldn't slow down playback so definitely keep working with that. 

 

One other thing that might help is this Universal Audio plugin: https://aescripts.com/universal-audio/

It can add your music throughout all the nested comps and if you move them around you can resync everything with one click.

Try creating a new sequence in Premiere that matches the settings of your AE timeline (fps, resolution, etc...), select and copy all the assets in the AE timeline, paste them into the Premiere timeline. 

 

This will not work for any media you generated in After Effects though so text and colors will not work - you'll have to remake them in Premiere.

    Okay thank you, I will try to do this

     

    In order to make an asset I would be able to use in Pr, would I need to Precompose each layer or something in Ae first?.. So that it appears in library, rather than simply my ae layering sequencer? Will I be able to edit the colors/text/fades similarly in Pr? Or would it be wise to work with two-three layers at a time with the song behind, then remove the song and the second & third layers in order to Precompose a file I can use in Pr?

    Thank you

    The only way to make an asset in After Effects that you can edit in Premere is by using the Essential Graphics panel in AE then exporting a .mogrt file for Premiere. That's probably too much work for what you're doing though.

     

    Everything in Premiere works completely different than After Effects. Premiere is primarily used for editing so you can do things like fades easily but text, colors, anything having to do with graphics are going to be harder to work with and very limited in their abilities. 

     

    If you are moving over to Premiere because you have a mount of footage to work with, the best way to work is probably going to be just focused on the edit first (just footage) then either export that and bring the export into AE to add graphics or select clips on the Premiere timeline and choose Send to After Effects, this will replace the clips in Premiere with a dynamic linked clip, it will open AE let you work with those clips in AE and any changes you make in AE will update the dynamic linked clip in the Premier timeline.
