Hello Everyone!
I have a question regarding workflow for longer After Effects projects. Specifically, I make video essays on Youtube and use After Effects to make all of my animations. Essentially, I only use premiere to edit the audio, which I then export and bring into After Effects. I then construct the entire video in After Effects, and export that. I then bring that final video back into Premiere to add sound effects. I've opted for this because the dynamic link system has proven very ineffective - my computer slows to a crawl when trying to render dynamic links, much less export them. Rendering and replacing has been a possible solution to avoid exporting the final piece essentially twice over, but again, the dynamic link system as a whole seems to be much slower than editing just in After Effects. I personally aim for a style that to me, someone with decent enough experience in the program but am by no means a professional, only seems achievable in After Effects. My biggest inspirations are KaptainKristian and MagnatesMedia, andI have linked some of their work for examples. I love the 3D camera movements and complex graphics, but I feel as though these creators simply have to have a more efficient workflow; that I'm missing something. My most recent video is nearly fifty minutes in AE, and after six hours of renedering, still had 16 to go. I canceled it then because I wanted to ask - is there a proper workflow for making these types of videos? Are these creators using only After Effects/only editing in After Effects like I do? If so, are there specifically any ways to automate these 3D camera movements to be applicable to elements of any resolution? I I don't chop footage and audio in AE, I simply animate motion graphics alongside audio I cut and chop in premiere. I was just wondering if any professionals out there had advice on making this type of content as efficiently as possible, because currently, I don't know if this latest video of fifty minutes will ever be able to export. Thank you in advance, and apologies for the long message!
