Working with Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects

Working with Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects

Adobe Premiere Pro is designed to capture, import, and edit movies. After Effects is designed to create motion graphics, apply visual effects,
composite visual elements, perform color correction, and perform other post-production tasks for movies.
You can easily exchange projects, compositions, sequences, tracks, and layers between After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro:
You can import an Adobe Premiere Pro project into After Effects. (See Import an Adobe Premiere Pro project.)
You can export an After Effects project as an Adobe Premiere Pro project. (See Export an After Effects project as an Adobe Premiere Pro
project.)
You can copy and paste layers and tracks between After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro. (See Copy between After Effects and Adobe
Premiere Pro.)
There is copy and paste support of adjustment layers between Premiere Pro CS6 and After Effects CS6.
If you have Adobe Creative Suite Production Premium or Master Collection, you can also do the following:
Start Adobe Premiere Pro from within After Effects and capture footage for use in After Effects. (See Use Adobe Premiere Pro for capture
(Production Premium and Master Collection only).)
Note: In After Effects CS6 and Premiere Pro CS6, the limitation of Dynamic Link to only work within a suite has been removed (for example,
Dynamic Link will now work between CS6 applications purchased as individual products). In After Effects CS6, starting Premiere Pro from
within After Effects and capturing footage is not supported. The File > Import > Capture in Premiere Pro command has been removed.
Use Adobe Dynamic Link to work with After Effects compositions in Adobe Premiere Pro without first rendering them. A dynamically linked
composition appears as a clip in Adobe Premiere Pro.
Use Adobe Dynamic Link to work with Adobe Premiere Pro sequences in After Effects without first rendering them. A dynamically linked
sequence appears as a footage item in After Effects.
Start After Effects from within Premiere Pro and create a new composition with settings that match the settings of your Premiere Pro project.
Select a set of clips in Adobe Premiere Pro and convert them to a composition in After Effects.

Premiere Pro Help.
