Importing After Effects Adjustment Layer to Premiere Pro

I doubt that an Adjustment layer could work in your case, because PrPro would need access to that plugin. If it's a plugin or effect specific to Ae, that would need to be in a comp as Warren noted in the original thread. Which means the editor would need both Ae and that plugin within Ae to work the comp, most likely.

The 'math' doesn't come along with the AL, the AL just uses a link to the effect or plugin. AL's are essentially just a "container" of the list of effects and their settings. They don't include the actual effect.

So for that, I would recommend a rather typical approach for many vfx things run over to Ae ... 'fix' the clip in Ae, export it out to a good intermediate format codec, and use that clip to replace the original media on the timeline. Direct, effective, and reliable.

Past that ... I've re-read this thread a couple times. It's of course a four year old thread, and both Ae and PrPro have changed quite a bit since then. But still ... I can't for the life of me see "condescending" anywhere.

The OP was applying color correction steps in Ae that can mis-fire when brought into PrPro unless you know how to perzactly set the color in Ae to match PrPro. Each step they were doing could be as easily done in PrPro, without the inherent issues of mis-fired color management. Which is why both shooternz and I questioned the workflow. It's got built-in problems.

And we both had plenty of experience trying to help other users with those mis-match issues. Which still occur regularly. And yes, I deal with at least one Ae/PrPro color managment issue a week. Some weeks, more. That's just in my time volunteering around here and a couple other places.

Hence, we both asked about the reasons for doing so (yes, there can be very valid reasons of course!) and to check on the knowledge level of the OP to help in answering the query.Simply getting data for best help, not only to that user but to all who will read this thread later.

Warren's answer was direct of course, but ... again, unless you've got the experience to work the two apps color management together, you might not get what you would be expecting.

And ... four years later ... Lumetri has come a long way in capabilities since this post, and I haven't used Ae for color in a couple years. No reason to now.

Not sure. The adjustment layer has Color Curves, Brightness and Contrast, Channel Mixer, and Hue/Saturation. Even if one of the effects aren't compatible in Premiere Pro, shouldn't only that effect not show up in Premiere? Instead, all of the effects do not show up.
