Replace with after effects composition

[carolinec4914996]

Hello!

Been scratching my head over this for a while and can't seem to figure out wether its my settings or if something is going on with the software.

When selecting all the footage in the premiere timeline (footage, graphic titles & music) and then right clicking to cross reference with AE, I switch over to after effects and my Premiere sequence appears in the timeline except whole sections of the footage is missing and out of place, the graphic titles are also all shuffled about.

The edit appears completely differently to how I had arranged it in the original Premiere composition, the Premiere composition after clicking "replace with AE comp" does replace my original Premiere comp with the malfunctioned version that AE created. I haven't applied any effects or touched the timeline in AE, it appears that way directly after import. When I undo the "replace with after effects" action my Premiere comp goes back to normal.

Can anyone help me on this?

Thanks

first, make sure your Ae is up to date. if it's 15.0 you should be using 15.0.1

second, please explain your workflow - are you trying to get your whole premiere timeline in Ae? two ways to do this:

1. copy paste your sequence to Ae, you will get an Ae composition with all your clips and what not. will some things not cross over properly? perhaps.

2. import your Premiere project to Ae like any other footage. you will get a dynamically linked Pr sequence that will match exactly to your Premiere editing and what not.

what you are describing, when you right click a clip in premiere to create an Ae composition, should be done selectively and carefully. what's the purpose to do this for all your clips?

maybe you should read some more about the workflow here:

Hello,

Thanks for your reply! I am making a stop motion in Premiere using images imported to a sequence. Its strange because all the footage in the timeline is the same format and from the same source, just cut up. It translates some of it and then just shows a black screen half way through the sequence on playback. The graphic titles are strange too they import to AE but they just assume a completely random position on the screen and appear at the wrong time. Very bizarre!

I tried importing just the footage, individual clips and the same thing happens.

I am using 15.0.1 and both Premiere and AE are up to date.

I will have a go at importing the premiere file into AE via the dropdown menu instead and have a read through the links you shared.

Thank you very much!
