Best Format For AE to Premiere Workflow?

Hi,

I produce animated content in after effects which I have previously always edited in Avid. As such when I render out of after effects, I use the Avid DNxHD codec, which Avid uses natively and can therefore fast import.

For my next project, I'm going to be using Premiere Pro instead of Avid, therefore I wondered if anyone had any recommendation on what format / codec is best to use going from After Effects to Premiere Pro? Obviously I can just continue to use DNxHD, but I thought I'd check in here before doing a load of renders in case that is not the best way to go.

Windows 10 64 bit, Premiere and AE are both CC2017

Thanks for any advice

Yes, you can. Works fine. You can also use the DNxHR codecs, which are more flexible and not tied to frame sizes or rates.

There's nothing wrong with your current DNx choice. Keep that until you're comfortable using PP as an NLE.

Thanks for the reply - just to follow up, as you say keep using it until I'm comfortable using PP - assuming I do become comfortable with PP, is there some other format you would suggest I would use at that point?
