How do I convert Basic 3d effect to actual Z axys Information?

New Here ,

Hi! Weird question here, 

I'm making a video where I'll need a lot of parallaxing, and I'm editing it in premiere pro, to then make camera movements in After FX. I've seen that the scale property I apply In Premiere will be kept inside After FX, as well as the Basic 3d effect, but none of these will have an impact on the actual camera movements.
Editing the clips in After looks like hell (100 clips), do you have any workaround to suggest?

The Basic 3D effect is rarely used these days.  It's much simpler to make all the layers 3D (using the box icon column) in the timeline.  You can then arrange the layers in 3D space, taking your background layer and ousting it quite far back and scaling it up so that it fills the screen.  Then you can create a camera and animate this and all the parallax will be taken care of.

First, each comp in After Effects should be no longer than a single shot unless you are creating transitions between shots (clips) that cannot be created in Premiere Pro. Creating a comp from 100 shots in a Premiere Pro sequence or importing a PRPROJ file into AE is going to give you a comp that is difficult to manage.

 

Second, your workflow is fouled up. If you want 3D text layers and camera movements you need to do that in After Effects. There is no Camera in Premiere Pro, the 3D text effect is an old pseudo-3D effect that does not use the comp camera at all. 

 

Third, spend some time with the User Guide. You can find it on the AE product page, in the Help files, on the landing page for this forum, and with a simple web search. There are a couple of tutorials that show you how to use 3D text. It will be easier than poking around in the UI and hoping to figure things out.
