Merge clips in Premiere and import them into After Effects

Had the same problem and just solved it -- hopefuly this helps others with the same issue. I've found that when you merge clips during editing, to continue the remaining post workflow smoothly, it's best to un-merge. Simply select your final sequence in the project window and go to File > Export > Final Cut Pro XML. Create a new Premiere Pro project and import this XML into this new project, and all of your merged clips will have been split back apart into their original components. Then go to after effects and import this project/sequence instead of your original project in which you edited with merged clips. 

Merge files is problematic for a number of reasons.

Multicam works great. In fact, say you've got a bin with six different clips each with in-cam audio and a separate audio-only file. Simple select all, create multicam option ... and PrPro will create six different multicam 'clips' for you. Using the separate audio instead of camera audio.

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about this. Let us know the version of Premiere Pro & After Effects that you are using. Are you importing the Premiere Pro project/sequence using File > Import command or are you using Replace With After Effects Composition command? Also, while importing are you getting any error codes or messages?

Thanks,

Sumeet
